Getting into the Swing of Things

Time goes on. I have successfully survived my first three weeks of college!
Some new things this week -
Last Saturday all the people in the Engineering Zone dorms went over to the ROTC challenge course to do some team building activities. That was a lot of fun. One of the most memorable was an obstacle they called the "Electric Fence" - basically. a log about 5 feet off the ground with another log passing on the ground underneath. We had to get everyone over the raised log without touching the ground or the log. It's a lot harder than it sounds.
I went to my first college party Saturday night. It was one of my friend's birthday and so another friend put on a party to celebrate. What happened? We played board games, ate chicken, pizza, cake, and ice cream, talked and laughed, and played a really intense game of "Never have I ever." There was no beer, everyone was nice, and the scariest thing about it was that it was in Babcock, the dorm just off campus that used to be a motel and now looks kinda sketchy.
I am now on a coed intramural volleyball team from my dorm. We're the Gila Monsters (cuz we're from Gila dorm) and we got to the point at our first practice on Sunday where we could serve over the net at least 80% of the time. The experience level of the team members ranges from none at all to a serving specialist who played club for 5 years. He promised to teach us all how to serve overhand. Our fist game is next week.
Every Wednesday, in the Cellar restaurant in the bottom of the Student union, one of the improv comedy clubs performs. I went with some friends for the first time this week (and also tried the famous Cellar milkshakes - pretty good, but really expensive). Personally, I thought their improv was much better than their skits.
Moving on this week - I have training for my job at UA Presents this Friday, as well as my first major test (Math 122A Final). U of A football takes on UTSA in football. Look for me in the sea of red, if the game makes it to TV. (Funny thing - there's a football guy in my English class. Apparently, they travel for home games too. They stay at a really nice hotel the day before, and bus in to their own stadium. Hmmm...) Saturday will also be my first build day for the Rube Goldberg club, which should be a lot of fun.
Comments are now live, please use them. I want to hear from you, too. Thanks for all the support; it's great to know that more than German or Russian searchbots are reading my site. Have a great week.
