Wow. I’m posting this from my dorm room, and I must admit, despite my cool and collected exterior (You did know I had one of those, right? :), I can’t help but being a little overwhelmed.

My dorm room is actually quite nice, and my parents and I managed to get everything unpacked without too much trouble (admittedly with a few runs to Target). My roommate isn’t going on a pre-frosh trip, so he doesn’t move in until next Wednesday. Though I certainly want to meet him, it was nice to have the room to myself while I was moving in. The only real concern I have is finding enough desk space. Maybe I’m the only geek whose desk looks like a travelling Best Buy display, but things could get tight when I actually have legitimate work to do. Ah well, there’s always the library.

It’s been a little surreal today because there aren’t *that* many people here. It seems that there are maybe a half-dozen or so moving into each floor today, with the rest to follow in the next week. The absence of people means I haven’t really had a chance to meet anyone or figure out how things work yet, though I did run into to some people I met last summer. There’s supposed to be a picnic thing for the trips tonight, so I guess I’ll figure some stuff out then.

I don’t know quite what to think about the trip into Minneapolis at this point. I hope it will be a good way to get to know some people, but it’s a little weird to go on a four day trip right after I got moved in. I think the potential pros outweigh the cons, so I’ll just have to see how it goes.

I’ll try to post again when I get back on Tuesday or Wednesday. Until then, my regards.
