Last night we had a very long orientation meeting, which seemed even longer considering we were packed into a room with no A/C. That gets ridiculously hot with 50 people for 3 hours. Thank God for popsicles and their corny joke glory! We mostly laid down the community law and ironed things out among our roommates considering food, parties, visitors, music, etc. Everyone was ready to leave, and I even took a shower when I got back to get all the nasty sweat off of me. My roommates popped in The Royal Tenenbaums, which I really wanted to watch since I haven't seen it in years, but I already made plans to watch Edward Scissorhands with Jess and her roommates. They have a much nicer room than we do. Not fair.
We had another orientation this morning pertaining to internships. It really got me excited about getting started. We played a really neat game called BuFaBuFa (I think) that taught us about perceptions of other culture in a really neat way. I'll not spoil the details in case anyone here has yet to play it, but as strange as it is the end result is pretty cool. A/C made that meeting much more bearable.
After a lunch of tuna sandwich and carrots, I headed to Target to get some supplies. I found velveeta, eggs, bacon, and macaroni noodles, so there are about four or five decent meals I'm prepared to cook now and two or three more I can do with a quick trip to Ralph's. Sounds like the plan is for In-and-Out Burger tonight, which I'm pretty excited for. I'll be doing that once I finish up the equipment lab that starts in half an hour.
I'm once again blogging from under my tree by the cafe since we still have no internet in the room. I'm sipping on a triple layer slurpee from the 7-Eleven across the street where I met some kid named Daniel who's brother allegedly works for Loaded Boards. He said he could get me some sweet deals, so I took down his number. Not that I can afford another Longboard at the moment, but it's always good to network in Hollywood.
