The Story of Day 2

Ok so I didn't get much sleep on my first night. My roommate came in around 3AM. I slept through breakfast until it was time to meet up with our PA group for a picnic. Well, it wasn't really a picnic, we ended up eating inside of a building while they talked to us. Soggy sandwiches. But anyway, we played two icebreaker games and then talked. After that it was time to meet our academic advisor. It was really helpful and I found out a lot of things I need to do. Then I went to a student governance session and I have decided that I would like to try and run for SRC, which is Social Regulations Council. They only take 2 boys and 2 girls I believe? I could be wrong, but I know that it is a small number. So after that I finally had some free time which I have not forgotten what I had been doing. Then it was dinner time and I ate with my PA and then we went to some sessions. The first session was called Sex Signals, and it was an improv act. When they threw condoms in our face at the very beginning, I knew it was going to go downhill from there. And it did. It was a lot of vulgar talk about sex, all the while trying to tell you not to rape people, and/or what is and how not to rape. It was effective in getting everyones attention and participation, although I still found it somewhat immature and offensive. Oh, and if you are wondering what happened to the condoms that they threw... the one that hit my face and landed on my shirt was given to the person next to me. I picked it up off of my shirt and these were his words.. "Can I get that?" (I hand it over) "I need all of these I can get" (and he proceeds to shove them deep into his pocket... I think I scooted over a bit. It was supposed to be a funny act and I have to admit some of it was. For example, they were talking about what people say when you know they want to sleep with you, and here is what the girl said. "Hey do you want to come over my house? I have a TV and we can watch Transformers. Then we can take your parts and my parts and mash them together and make a de-SEX-icon..." I thought that was pretty original and therefore funny. But that is about it. NEXT SESSION. This was more about campus safety and alcohol. It was a much more mature conversation and therefore, I found it more enjoyable, but mostly because I completely agree with our speaker. He was really blunt about the consequences. And by blunt I mean calling out what he classifies as "bull shit" (his words) and how if you do stupid stuff the police will "take your ass to jail." It was pretty funny to be talked to in such a way, but it is probably only to keep us awake. I was falling asleep. So then, tired beyond belief, I still had the Midnight Madness Shopping Extravaganza at Target, which by the way is my favorite store. So, before we went I came back to my room and had some tea for a bit of a pick me up. It worked wonderfully. We got to Super Target and I was ready. I went through the store grabbing and throwing things in my buggy (but smartly) like no bodies business. I was on a mission to be the first bus there and the first bus back so I could get to sleep. Well, I missed the first bus back. But I did get on the second, or maybe third. But it was a lot of fun. I feel I did a great job. I have never gotten so many things for 60 dollars ever. I usually go in a store and spend 60$ for just one item. But because I am in college I need to be really smart with my spending. So I got back, showered, and went to bed. I did take some pictures around campus. I think I will place them in a separate post, maybe the post about today. However, you will just have to wait..
