So here I am sitting in my room thinking.... I should probably actually write about the PANTS on this thing. and IMAGINE my surprise when I log in to find a post from Dina! How cool was that!? ( answer - very cause she's awesome!)
SO... I'm gonna write about my two weeks with the pants, but I'm thinking someone should write about the shopping expedition. (puppydog eyes at Dina, she's the shopping kind of person). Anyways!
Luckily before I sent my letter & pants off to Michele I photocopied what I wrote! The following is a transcription (more or less) of said letter!
CHRONICLES OF THE PANTS - PART ONE "Frosh Week"
Sept. 4 - Moved in! Met my pod-mates and some people from my floor. Kinda loud but mostly cool. Tie-dyed my FIRST FREE T-SHIRT! and won $25 chapters gift card @ bingo.
Sept. 5 -PEP RALLY! free food, soccer game, Vuvuzelas, video dance.
Sept. 6 PANTS DAY! - canal games! lots of yelling and cheering, rain, cold. Slip n' slide! Tug o' war! Shooting baskets (epic fail), dancing, Hard Core Mark jumping in the canal. free shirts! awesome show by a hypnotist.
Sept. 7 - Beach day! Woken up early and LOUDLY. Walked to beach. Cheering, awesome sand sculptures, beach volley ball, free food. Pod girls jealous that I tan and they all burn.
Sept. 8 - Academic Orientation. Free t-shirt! listened to some guy talk about climbing Everest. Met other 1st Year Ling majors ( I think there's MAYBE 30 of us) Concert with Shad and Tokyo Police Club, REALLY GOOD! tons of fun!
Sept. 9 - first classes. Psych and Ling. then MOVIE NIGHT! rode a very crowded bus with a guy who can eat fire! Then watched (and sang along with) Grease!
Sept. 10 - Technically classed today but I didn't have any! woo hoo! bought textbooks though. yay. Then did an Airbands competition with people dressed as KISS, MJ, and Brittany Spears. For my part I did awkward-grade-7-style-slowdancing. Classy.
Sept. 11 - SHINERAMA! Basically spent all day downtown cheering and asking people for money. yay! got yelled at by some crazy people... more free food and free t-shirts!
Sept. 12 PANTS WORN! - Slept in. Did some school work. Went to dinner with people from the hometown. Make cookies, played pictionary, abused the dumb-waiter and the magical fridge! Went to see the lightshow on Parliament Hill. Maria said she felt so patriotic she could bleed maple!
Sept. 13 - Actual classes! Slight panic @ English Seminar. LOLing hardcore in Ling. Job interview. Dinner with Spanish family. ( OM NOM! )
Sept. 14 - More class. handed in first assignment. Shopping with Aunty! Got new funky clothes! someone stole my name tag off my door - Confronted suspects feign innocence.
Sept 15 PANTS WORN! - Class. nothing too exciting. Mail from Dina!!! also IKEA MADNESS! open only to sutdents, all kinds of deals.
Sept 16 PANTS WORN! ZEFRON SHIRT WORN! Slept in! first class @ 1 pm. Auditioned for Glee Club! Donated blood (got a NICE bruise). Dinner with Spanish family again.
Sept. 17 - no class! Slept in till FIRE ALARM at 10:30 am. grrr... Plans to go out with floor people. Mailed pants to Michele!!!!
FROSH WEEK, IT'S BETTER THAN GAMBLING.
looking at Sept 12 - "Maria" doesn't confuse anyone does it?
ReplyDeleteI don't know who Maria is but that's alright. I like her bleeding maple comment regardless. I would have LOVED to see your awkward-grade-7-style-slowdancing! May I also express my sadness, yet again, that you melted the Zefron... R.I.P Sweet Baby Jesus.
ReplyDeleteMaria follows the same format as Dina and Dawn. Who else do we know in my city who's from the same hometown? I hope you can figure out HWHAT I'm talking about :P
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeletePS - when I wrote this title all I could think was " To Defeat the Huns!" I REALLY hope Valerie picked up on this...
ReplyDeleteYeah I did :)
