Again, this is just a quick update because it is one thirty in the ante-meridian (ought that to be hyphenated, or one word, or two?) and I still have more to do before I sleep. Today was just wonderful. One particularly great part of it was the moving in of the dorm room. At about three something of the post meridian (wow, almost twelve hours ago), Mama and Daddy and Eva and I made many sprint up and down to and from the third floor of May Hall, Helaman Halls, to transport boxes and bags and miscellany from the truck to my room. One thing I can say is that I'm grateful my roommate isn't here until Wednesday. My stuff is taking a long time to organize and began by occupying all of my side and most of his side as well. I've reduced that space by quite a bit, but there is still much more organizing to do and it is nice to be able to do that with the room to myself. Unless Kyle wants my help, I think I'll clear out while he sets up camp so that he can be free to use my side as temporary storage until he can find the proper place for everything. Speaking of having the room to myself, I actually have the whole wing to myself. Except for the RA, no one has yet moved into my wing. So it's almost like living alone in a big mansion with many spare rooms and closets to explore. Okay not really.
Moving into the dorm made college feel much more permanent. I'm really here, I'm really living somewhere other than home, I'm really a college student! Thanks to the much shopping and packing that Mama and others greatly facilitated and aided, my room, even in its disarray, looks great. The blue color scheme is bright but not loud and adjusts to any mood and lighting quite nicely. The closets are beautifully and perhapsa bit crowdedly stocked with my clothes. My desk is a work in progress.
I'm excited to find place for everything, and I'm excited for my camera, printer, and a few forgotten items from home to arrive in the next week. More than that, I'm excited for my college life to really start when all of my new friends arrive.
Here is a dance I learned this evening. The video is campy, but the choreography is awesome. It's just so much fun to do, and I'm a little guiltily in love with the song:
Love,

Christian, I loved setting up my dorm rooms and apartments all through college. It really was the perfect way to begin a new semester--set up home, set up a desk, picture yourself doing work there. Even during hard times--and there were lots of hard times, especially as a very insecure freshman whose roommate started dating RIGHT away and who (me) was consequently left alone on many a Friday night--I took great comfort in being in my own room, my own home. Congratulations, Christian. You have officially started on your own! Have a GREAT week at LSH.
I love picturing you all settled in your first dorm room---the setting for what will be a formative time in your life. Being organized is good, and it's good to take time to get things set up in a functional, orderly way. But remember that sleep and work habits are part of organization, too! The times during my college career when my sleep was disordered were the most difficult times for me, both academically and emotionally. So my advice is to establish healthy sleep habits now!
Rosalynde, that is exactly my plan, but I honestly did not have a surface to sleep on. I didn't want to just cram things into the closet, so I took time to put them away properly until I had a bed to sleep on, and that was lengthy.
Christian,
When your camera comes, please send pictures of your room. you might have to buy a card reader to plug into your computer.
Also, please see my comment on your earlier post about punctuation and the scriptures.
here's a solution to the ante meridian problem - AM.
