Well, I do not know how to put this any other way, but wow they're crazy wild. I met Marie and Jess yesterday in the kitchen, they were cooking fish sticks I think...and they seemed especially nice and fun. Then I met the third girl, no idea what her name is.. oops. She is wild to say the least. They came home, unpacked their bags. By unpacked their bags I mean they found their sheets and mini dress/skirt/huge heels. That is all. They got ready to go out to the Lodge. Tanked already upon arrival. Then left as quickly as they came. They returned back around midnight, and then again at 3 and started banging on my door and other doors of the girls asleep. There were so many guy voices, and yelling and just crazyness. I got a little worried, hopped out of bed to try to lock my door...it was perfect timing because someone definitely tried opening door and I was holding it shut- definitely awkward. They did not stop having a mini party in the hallway right outside our bedroom doors until about 5am.I fell back asleep and kept waking up throughout the night, but it wasnt too bad.
I woke up this morning and wow, the living room is a disaster, there are shoes all over the hallways, sweatshirts thrown in random places, dirty dishes all over the kitchen. I am less than thrilled about how this will go, hopefully it gets better (tidier) and they were just excited to get back.
The orientation leader wasn't joking when she said the Irish just don't/wont go to class. The one girl that I cant remember her name, is supposed to have class from 9-6pm tonight. It is currently 9:05 am and she is in her jammies talking to a boy in her room. I take it school is not their primary reason for being here at UL.
Just a hunch...
I am off to my first class as a third year here at UL. I only have one class on Mondays from 10-11- not too bad :] heading to do pilates and body pump work out classes after :]
I think the theme of this semester will be "Adjust and Adapt". You will be a stronger, more independent and most certainly adaptable to most situations after this semester. You must take the good with the bad and focus on the positive. I have no doubt you will settle in and find your way. Keep in mind these are 1st year students as well - so the novelty of not being under their parents watchful eye may wear off soon.
