I have finally arrived at Ringling! And I must say it is incredible! Today was move-in day so it was a very busy morning for all of us.
I picked up my keys and ID(I sent my picture in early) while upperclassmen helped me carry my luggage to my dorm. I live on the 2nd floor, which is supposedly the “fun” floor, with my roommate, Jessica(who is supertastic). My suite mates, Yeojin and Vicki were not there. We share the bathroom with them so I consider them roommates as well and was sad to not meet them.
After that, it was the setting up stuff. Man, I barely know where anything is since my mom insisted on helping. It was very sweet of her but gah like where is my hair dryer..
I missed lunch because of setting up, though! The eating schedule is SO early here. I mean I feel fine since I eat pretty early but for some people who eat late, dinner from 5:30-7:00 is crazy! So anyways, I ended up going with my parents to McDonalds and then getting last minute shopping stuff. After that, I was back at the dorm with Jessica.
But I have to say the dorm is REALLY nice. It’s gigantic for a college dorm and very nicely designed. It’s probably the nicest college dorm I have seen. The hallways and common room are sweet as well.
We went for dinner at Hammonds which was actually my first time eating at Ringling. They have everything there and it’s buffet style. It was not that bad! I liked it. Many people said it was okay but hey it was way better than the crap I had at SAIC precollege. So I had grilled veggies(meh), pasta salad(yum), and this veggie soft flat bread sandwich with cream cheese, cranberries, leaves of some kind, and nuts (good). They also had one of those cool drink machines which have like everything in it and it’s all touch screen and high-tech. I only had water, though, since I try to stay away from sugary drinks. All in all, I thought it was a great experience! I met many people there and they are all so awesome and unique!
Around 8, Jessica and I went back to our dorm. Our suite mates, Vicki and Yeojin were back! So we caught up on a lot of things. They are so cool. Vicki is from Argentina and Yeojin is from South Korea! Yeojin was also a sweetheart and got us all lotion. So totally adorable. Thank you, Yeojin!
And right now, I am in the plaza watching the Lego movie. I have had a great day so far! Ringling has been beyond my expectations! EVERYTHING IS AWESOMEEEEEE!!!
