ok so i feel the need to do a quick update because i am a combination of tired and exhausted. ohh man. soo on wednesday night i went to see Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants with my girl Nikki Rae and oh man, it was the best movie i've seen in a long time. not only was it unbelievably cute, but it had depth and an awesome plot. nikki and i enjoyed it so. It was over at about midnight and then we decided to go get justin to get some swensons and it was great fun,the brand new hush puppy teasers are unnnnsane!!! i miss the old ones, what a shaft. then justin littered on our planet. I got home bout 1:30 and i couldnt sleep because i had to leave for orientation at MIami at 4am, i didnt get to sleep till like an hour before i left and i slept the whole 4 hour trip there, only waking for a bathroom stop and some bob evans take out....So we get to Miami like at 8 and right away I was busy, i got lots of books, bulletins, papers, cupons, papers and stuff then i was shuffled to get my STUDENT ID picture taken, i made sure i looked half way decent but i was still unprepared for all the madness. so after all that was a day of lectures and such. we broke into small groups and my student orientation undergrad leader (SOUL) was the bomb.com her name was Laura Phillips and she made the experience so much more pleasant for me. She was so nice, open and helpful, she is going to be a junior in the fall and i hope i will see her. Thursday was so long and busy but everyone was really nice and helpful. after all the shit at 9:30 thestudents had a social, there was music, food and such. i got my eagle on. it was a lot of fun. it was outside and it was such nice weather down there...we all stayed in dorms while the parents stayed in hotels and such. then this morning i woke up at 6 to get my stuff out of the dorm, we ate. (the food is soooooooo good there. wow) then i went on to academic advising. My major will be journalism so i got help figuring out what i wanted to take and i officially made my schedule!!!! EXCITING> i am taking english, stats, communications, and the thought and culture of India and ASia this fall then next semester i will take journalism 101 and all that good stuff. my classes are pretty spread out and i am happy with the number of credit hours i have so yeah, i very productive day and a half...we went to the bookstore and got me some miami gear and headed back home. we stopped at lodi outlets and i got some stufffff

• GAP- a pair of green khaki cropped pants with a halter to match, a jean skirt, 2 nice leather belts that were like 80% off, and some tanks/camisoles.
• LEE-cool jeans that look like regular pants, 3 polo shirts
• Rack ROOM- a pair of tan sandals that will match with anything.

yay, a good start for the weekend
