Well, now that I've been back at campus for a couple of days, y'all get a smörgåsbord of thoughts and impressions concerning the sophomore year.
-Campus minus freshman? Weird as all hell. The first half a day or so was spent wandering around, feeling how empty everything was. It's taking a bit of time to get everything filled up--people are still coming back from their orientation trips--but it's a bit more like 'home,' now.
-Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, have I missed 99% of the people up on Campus. Friends, hallmates, faculty, everything. But having five people I haven't seen in ages arrive within an hour? Best day ever.
-There's a new addition to the group! A transfer student, Lydia, got lucky enough to score a townhouse, and is living with Red and Shannon. She's a pretty bitching with fabulously pink hair. (I also really hope I'm spelling her name right).
-Drew's back, with the same six cases of chocolate protein drink-thing as last year. How I have missed him so.
-Last night, most of us (Emily A., the Dude/His father, Rob/His mother, Red, Shannon, Lydia and I) went down to the Deepwater. I snuck back and forth between the two tables... And then Drew arrived with his family. So that was awesome. (They have a very tasty spinach/artichoke dip).
-If all goes well, I'll be getting a job at the Information desk. I have the application filled out, I just wish that they'd open it up so I could turn in the damn thing. Just think of the money, Graham. Just think of the money.
Stuff I need to do:
-Turn in job application
-Buy books for class
-Get books from home to loan to people
-Organize foodstuffs/kitchenstuffs
-Find posters, hang them up
-Find true love
EDIT: Okay, I need to briefly summarize this incredibly epic Deadlands game that Rob hosted with me, Adam, and Jake. I was playing a grifter/conman, Adam was a semi-senile prospector, and Jake was a cyrptozoologoy-obsessed student. My character lost an arm, but Adam's prospector shoved a stick of dynamite up a wendigo's arse. And blew it up.
Somehow, we all survived.

And then the rest was all clicks and whistles, so I kinda think I got thw wrong impression.
