It is Time for the Lies to End

Yes, it's true. My dad . . . is Solid Snake. I apologize for the deception.

Unfortunate

Yeah, I slept through that meeting. Pretty much the worst way to start things out here. It worked out all right, I guess. My advisor told me just to come in later. Good news is I only have to take two quarter-long math classes for my entire four years here. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot of leeway for a first-year engineering student, so I only have one elective, which is probably just going to be a communication requirement, i.e. Public Speaking 101. I hate public speaking.
Haven't been to any really wild parties yet. There have only been freshmen here until now, so there's no one to buy the booze. There are a few cool things coming up, though, like a beach party tomorrow night and a dance marathon at the Fields Museum in Chicago on Saturday. No telling when the frat bashes get going, or how I'll find out about them. Still, not a bad place. I've talked to a few people who seem quite all right.

Ok, I should go do something.

Dance Par-tay

Just got back from a raucous dance party in the dorm president's room. I counted at least 28 people in there at one point, when I remember quite vividly that the maximum allowed occupancy was 4. Oh, silly dorm president!

Yes, I moved my body awkwardly in rough approximation of what is known as "the beat." It's one of the few things that I can see being under the influence of liquor would be a distinct advantage.

I have to be across campus tomorrow at 8:00 for a faculty advisor meeting. Yay.

Gurrr

The art in this one is really bad, which is all the more embarassing when you consider I've had it for over a week.

gurrrrr.

Ok

So I have some more stuff to write about my first day. My precious information will likely be rationed out in numerous small posts, just to keep your lips whetted.

There were many "fun" icebreaking games, which I tolerated surprisingly well.

I am the only one named Bob here. This is not a surprise.

I met an asian fellow named David, and we decided his new name would be Ibraham. This is a surprise.

I have attended many boring speeches, and I expect to attend many more. Woo.

I NEED A CAMERA!!!

College!

I am here. Unfortunately, no one around has a digital camera.

GUH!!!!!!

Irony

So, I'm in Evanston, home of the Wildcats, land of the free, etc.

Whenever I told people I was headed to Chicago, they invariably said something like: "Hey, remember a warm coat!" I wish they were here now, when it is 91 degrees and the humidity is in the high 80s.

More tomorrow, after I move in.
