Arizona is just too damn hot. I had all sorts of freshman orientations today, and the humidity was awful. I must have sweated like five gallons today. It's amazing how much the heat just saps away your will to move. I kind of vegged out for about an hour, regaining the strength necessary to go down to dinner.

In other news, my room has been remodeled and I now have a sitting room under my bed. It makes me super excited. I can read books and drink tea and kick my feet up while curled up under a blanket. My fridge is coming, my books are coming, and classes start in less than two days. The excitement is mounting.

I forgot to mention, I joined the rocket club today. They are named Daedalus, which appeals to my inner english major but I won't regale you with the myth behind the club name. So, maybe in a few weeks I'll be able to make things blow up and exit the atmosphere. Some of the videos they were playing at the booth were pretty exciting.

Weather rolled in, and took over every conversation in the dorms, but the lightning and the thunder just make me so happy while drinking a hot mug of tea inside. Tomorrow is going to be busy, with a club fair and a job fair and a dinner date with all my friends as a final hurrah before classes start. So this post won't be as long because I actually want to sleep tonight.

On the plus side, I went to the gym today. My running shoes feel amazing.

  1. You should look up "Project Daedalus" in reference to the British Interplanetary Society. Forget the mythos of Daedalus and Icarus or the Labrynth attributes of the name. Rocket Club means SPACE!!

    1. Gah, I'm so excited for this club. You don't even understand. It was kind of awkward though, signing up. I had seen some girls, but when I got to the table it was just beards and testosterone and cologne crushing me in. :I
