We survived the first fire alarm!

Hey everybody!

I was going to tell everyone about my move in experience… except now I have something exciting to tell you! I just as I sat down to write this blog entry, and the fire alarms in Slater went off. I honestly had no idea what was going on. I thought the guys next door were playing their rap music again (at first just the sirens sounded). Then, the lights started flashing. I peeked in the hall to see what was going on and no one was there so I figured I needed to get out. I put my shoes on and locked the doors and finally others started pouring out of their  rooms. We all had to wait outside on the basketball court and finally found out the system had a double malfunction.

Now for the part I hope you want to hear about: moving in.

I moved in on Sunday, the earliest possible day. It was relatively easy – check in at the front desk, check out a cart, bring everything to your room, and try to avoid crying parents. Simple, right? The hardest part was unpacking. I am so glad my roommate was not here yet because I have my stuff spread across the entire room. It’s Tuesday and I still haven’t quite got everything put away or decorated.

My room is a work in progress!

I would definitely recommend leaving your door open at all times and hanging up the dry erase board on the outside. It lets people know that you are here and wanting to meet new people. I’ve met a whole lot of people including two girls from the floor above me that I really like!

Well, I left this post and finished it much much later (hey, a girl needs to go out right?) and On Iowa! begins tomorrow morning and I planning on going to YogaBox as of now. It starts in literally 6 hours so I need to get some sleep like right now!

Good night!
