So Very Dark

So, went to the 24 hour creative marathon last night.

At first it was a little intimidating and I had to go hide in a corner, but then some people came and befriended me and talked to me about Harry Potter and gaming and so on and so forth and had me come join them where they were sitting, and I ended up actually painting even though I was not planning on it but did manage to get only the minimum of paint on me.

Overall I had a really fun time, and finished my project before Briggs picked me up to take me to orientation. I had chocolate-covered espresso beans, pizza and coffee and actually socialized with other people.

By the time Briggs picked me up around 7:30 I was pretty tired. We stopped at Starbucks before he dropped me off at my orientation.

The first half of which was SUCH a waste of time…stupid videos (with bad audio) and various deans and such explaining to the young just-entering-college students about the school…seriously NO information I needed.

THEN they made us play TEAM BUILDING games. Which I believe EVERYONE hated…I mean, hello, ART students! Not minglers!

By the time we reached the part of the day that I got any useful information at all, I was too tired to care–after lunch we went to classrooms decided by our major and the heads of department and teachers told us stuff we needed to know. They should have done THAT part first so I could then go home and sleep. Stupid team building exercises.

Finally, at 2 the released us and I was able to get Briggs to come get me and then go home and sleep. Which was awesome.

Also awesome are these photos that Briggs took today after he dropped me off…he is the frickin’ MAN!

Okay…I have loaded this pictures like, 3 or 4 times, and they keep dying on me…so I am just posting the URLs. Blah!
