Oh my goodness!! Echo has retained a place in my heart from now until ETERNITY! Last night everyone was out (Sasha had her orientation session and Shea was out with friends) so Echo was traipsing around my room while I did some homework. It finally got on my nerves when he attacked my pencil midsentence, so I kicked him out. The little booger cried outside my bedroom door, so when I was ready for bed I decided to give him a shot at sleeping in my room (I always sleep with my door shut & locked at night-- it's one of my security "blankets"). At first he kept attacking me as I moved under the sheets, but after about ten minutes he curled up in a ball by my knees and passed out. When I woke up this morning he was cuddled up on my chest and it was SO adorable. The little guy made me feel so special. If everyone is gone again tonight I might just let him sleep with me again!
Today summer orientation session numero tres began! I'm amazed that the excitement of talking to new students hasn't decreased in the slightest. Actually, with each parent's lounge session that I sit in on, I become MORE stoked for the next! Parents are just so fun to talk to, partially because so many of them remind me of my own. It's almost like I get a mini-visit with mine every time freshmen parents come to campus. I am very homesick right now so it's a breath of fresh air to have mom's and dad's walking around campus.
Today is my busy day. I had calculus 10-12:35, work from 12:35-5, then circuits 6:25-9:05. Long Thursdays make Fridays so much better, though, so I just focus on what I'm doing at that moment to help the time go quicker.
I really want to try to get to the beach this weekend. I had a dream last night I was on a boat on Lake Michigan, so I'm crossing my fingers that eventually that dream comes true! I also have to study this weekend because I have my 2nd circuits test on Thursday and finals are a mere two weeks a way!! How did time go so fast? Summer is almost half way over!!
I had yet another pleasant experience with the Office of Financial Aid yesterday. The staff over there are so ready and willing to help with anything finance-related at all; it amazes me! I had to sign some paperwork and all I did was walk in and they had it waiting for me. I can't get over how much IIT cares about its students. It's AWESOME!
I must sign off now, I'm helping give a tour to some freshmen in high school and we need to prep!
