Today I moved into my beloved dorm at SPU - Emerson. I live on 4th East and I already love it. Luckily we have an elevator, so I don't have to take the stairs EVERY time, but I want to do them at least a couple times a day. Move-in went smoothly because we had a lot of current students helping us and I took the rest of the morning/afternoon to unpack all of my things alongside my roommate Elayna. Now, I thought *I* had a lot of stuff. She easily had three times as much stuff as I did. Like, her clothes alone took up about four LARGE cardboard boxes O.o But that's fine, we have TONS of space. It's really awesome. I'm on the bottom bunk and with the left desk~
I think Elayna and I will get along really well. We're both really organized and we just have that necessary chemistry to make a roommate situation work, you know?
After the many welcome speeches, activities, and meals I am beginning to feel VERY tired. I appreciate the effort they're putting into trying to keep us busy, but as an introvert I NEED MY SPACE!! To my great joy they let us go at 11pm, so I'm just about ready to crawl into my neatly made bed and go to sleep.
I really like SPU and I'm very happy that I chose it over Willamette right now. I feel so welcome and loved here - there's no pressure to be someone who I am not. My PA (like an RA) is really fun and very very very excited to have us on her floor, so I'm grateful for that. Prayers are always appreciated for a continued smooth transition! Danke!!
