Ah. I don't know 'Legally Blonde'. I thought that was a band, or a song, or something.
Now I know why people keep buying a bag a bit like mine... Guy off 'Suits' has got one. Only... I never thought to wear mine quite that high up, since I don't bike...
This week is Orientation Week...
I am... I think my crazy went away. Last few nights... Actually... Over the last week... Things have been a bit noisier outside. I've come to realise it mostly isn't people from this building. It is people from the building next door. Drinking / smoking / laughing outside into the small hours.
I can actually get to sleep while they are still going / it isn't sending me into a rage.
:)
Progress.
In my building... They've put up some decorations for O week (that will probably stay most of the year). And, uh, even though they gave me a fright to start with... I actually like them. 'The Incredibles'. Family of superheroes. Kinda cool. I'm getting a kick out of it, anyway.
The Chemistry folder is black! Yay! This is my year, I tell you. I could have coped with yellow... But any color other than yellow would have been a little bit upsetting... I managed to get goggles that are a little less warped... And I made them sell me an old lab coat that they use for people to check their sample size. It is SOFT. About 5 years old, they reckon. It has 'Sample 3' on it in blue permanent marker... They said that people will probably think that I stole it...
But... It is important to focus on what is important. And I can't wear my old lab coat... Bad chemistry karma... People will probably think I forgot mine so they loaned me one. Actually... I'll just tell them the truth... They might appreciate that I don't smell like almond fabric softener...
So... Orientation turns out to be more orienting than I found it last year. I think it is the same as it was... I've just relaxed a lot. I'm feeling calmer... Happier... More relaxed about the people. Things are going to be okay, yeah. Proper orientation on Wednesday... 8.45. Bastards. They take us out to the satellite campus etc... I hope I get to wander around the library...
