Horizontal Rain

They weren't kidding when they mention horizontal rain. Today the wind was so strong that the rain was actually blowing sideways. It's a good thing I made it to my room before the worst of it. It was much more fun to watch from my window than to be outside walking through it.

Because of the crummy weather, the majority of today was pretty low-key. After standing in lines for an hour and a half I finally got my student ID card. Yay! The first thing I did was go to the University store to get a holder and a lanyard. Now I'm a REAL student here. We decided to put our cards to good use an try to get into the library. Apparently they hadn't been fully activated yet, but we still made it inside and up to the 11th floor. One side of the library has a full view of the campus and the city. It's definitely a place I'd like to do my homework, but I bet you I'm not the only person with that thought.

Later tonight I went to get hot cocoa with Megan and Aldonza so we could start making some travel plans. We went through various pamphlets, booklets, and a tour book and hopefully we'll be able to put all our knowledge to good use this semester. After a quick facebook check we were on our way to this bar place called Nice n Sleazy. They have live music almost, if not every, night which is pretty awesome. Tonight was an open mic night so we heard all types of music, both good and bad. Around 11:30 though, I started fading very fast, so back I went!

Thank you to Skype for allowing me to have 4 hours of conversation last night. Thank you to pamphlets and tour books that help clueless Americans like myself. Thank you to hot chocolate for just being amazing.
