Just Another Day In The Life

Not much happened today here at Ball State. We had the study abroad fair today, but I only walked through it. I want to study abroad, but I want to wait until next year or junior year.
Also, today was my new friend, Marisella's birthday. She, Noelle, Erin, and I all went to one of the dorms for a buffet dinner. We had some pretty good food, great conversation. and some interesting looking ice cream cones! Mine personally looked like a pile of dog crap (very appetizing, huh)!
So since this blog seems short, I'll tell you a little more about what it's like living here.  My roommate's name is Kristen. She is from Indianapolis, is a huge Jonas Brothers fan, a girly girl, and the World's biggest Diet Coke fan. She's majoring in special education, which I think is pretty cool considering all the dedication and patience one needs to do that type of work. She was kind enough to bring the TV for our room, so I can watch Monday Nigh RAW! Kristen plans on participating in sorority rush week this coming week, and I hope she makes it. She would fit well into that type of social environment. The thing I like most about Kristen is that I can trust her to take care of our room and never leave the door unlocked. I don't feel like I have to hide everything in my closet before I leave each time and for me, that was my number one concern with this whole potluck roommate picking thing.
I live in a z-shaped room, which gives me a sense of more privacy. I have a desk, two bookshelves, four dresser drawers, half of a dresser top, and my own decent size closet to use. Kristen and I share a fridge and microwave, too. We also have air conditioning, and I am so glad that I put it on my tab. It's too hot here in Indiana.
Now, some of you have been asking me about the food here. Well, it's not awful. I eat in the Atrium every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for lunch because it's in the same building as my classes. In the Atrium, they have a deli section, grill, Asian food, Mexican food, a Chi-Fil-A, and a Sabarros. The food overall there is not too shabby. Noyer and Woodworth have a wide selection of food, as well. They have a salad spinning area in Woodworth, which I hear is pretty good. And when I'm not super hungry, I go down to this convenient store in one of the dorms and buy some stuff I can eat later, like Pop-Tarts and apples.
Overall, it's not too bad here. It's not home, but I am happy. It would be nice if there was some more familiar faces around here, but I have met some really great people. I guess I'll talk to you again tomorrow. My plans include a Walmart run ( :) ) and doing my homework for audio class. Let's just say that my audio professor will have a good laugh when he gets my assignment!
I hope you all are well, and I will talk to you soon! I love you!
