1st few days at BYU

Hello people that I know...
I'm here at BYU (second day on campus), the place of my dreams, sitting and my desk, and I'm thoroughly exhausted already. Yes, there is a reason for this... my first day here I was awake for a full 24 hours. I got up at 4am to leave for the airport by five with my parents. When we finally got here we went to Granny's house for a delicious bowel of lentle soup and a few slices of apple bread, then drove down to campus to set up camp. ID was first on my list of to dos, I met a girl from Hawaii while I was waiting to get my picture taken, then we went to find my dorm. While exiting the cannon center (the closest cafeteria to the dorms) I saw a girl who looked very familiar. I stopped to stare at her for a second, then ran to hug her. It was my room mate Nathalie and two of her friends: Jamie and Shannon.


They went down to get their student sport passes, I went with my parents to unpack my 3 suitcases and get settled. Anyway, after stuff got spread around my parents left and I spent the evening with Nathalie and her friends, and a bunch of other random people who joined us as we played ultimate frisbee on the lawn outside the cannon center. When the sprinklers came on we all ran through them (I decided not to get completely soaked, unlike some others), and tried to make "water angles" by laying on the dry pavement to leave a mark. Long story short, didn't get to bed till 1:30am UT time, which is even later PA time.
Today was orientation... the first meeting in the merriot center was cool... I saw the other 5000 students in my class all assembled at once and we had the university president speak and stuff. The cougar band and cougarettes did a little show to welcome us (reminded me of a high school pep rally on a very large scale). We did the cougar walk in the BLAZING sunshine, which didn't help me and made me quite sure I will never find my way around campus it's so big. I hope the rest of the 30,000 students going here will be able to tell me where I'm going. Went to a presentation about the honors program, then crashed for an hour and a half... now I'm heading to the tradition of honor presentation, so we'll see how that goes...
I've met at least 50 people in 2 days (at least it seems like that), and they're all really nice so far!!
I REALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL!! PLEASE SEND FEEDBACK/NEWS of your own!!
Got to move!
