I made it through the first two days, and one night at Seattle University. The dorms are quite empty; there are just a few people on each floor as school hasn't really begun (only select athletes are here). I have already managed to make a couple friends; Stephanie (from California) and "Kaha" (from Hawaii). Supposedly, Kaha is short for some big, long Hawaiian name meaning something about breasts. (FYI: Kaha is pronounced like "AHA!", but with a K at the beginning... Well, that's how I remember it anyway.) I am also aquainted with the rad softball players. -They are not what I expected. I expected BIG, burly hardcore girls. However, they are all semi-small, petite, and very, very preppy. After finding out that I was from Alaska, one girl inquired, "You mean, you can play softball in Alaska?" And then seconds later, another girl asked, "Don't you only get like three hours of daylight per day?" So, I am working on educating these people, one at a time, how Alaska really is. -Maybe some day we will not just be known as the strange Igloo Area "next" to California.

As for dorm life... Well, the showers suck. The shower head is about three inches too low, so I have to do this weird neck, body bend thing in order to rinse the shampoo out. Its kinda lame. And the water pressure is SO intense, I think I'm bruised. Oh well, I imagine some people like rough showers...

And for entertainment... Well, all I have to do is look out my window and down below in the evening there is a Asian girl doing Tae Kwan Do... Or Kung Fu... Or something of the like. She has a sword, and a gown, and everything. HERE IS THE VIDEO!

Well, as Casey DiGennaro once said (in a frightening voice), "College is EEEEVVVERRYYYYTHING and MOOOOORE."
