Last night was rough. First night back as a second year tent doesn't mean things are gonna be any easier. It was freeezing. Low of 23 I believe. I did not sleep well. IM gym which is where we usually go to the bathroom during the night, was locked last night. At 4:30 in the morning I woke up freezing and shaking and having the strongest urge to pee I've ever felt. I won't lie, I contemplated wetting my sleeping bag, but thankfully decided against it. I asked Jin to come to the bathroom with me, but in his deep sleep he said "Oh well" and rolled away from me. Rude. So I had to layer up and head all the way back to Craven. Thankfully I live on west campus this year making life so much easier. If I still lived on east I definitely would have been poppin a squat in the bushes. Wondering around campus at 4:30 am by yourself is a tiny bit scary. Good thing I'm brave. Also, strangest thing happened: when I woke up there were 2 cop cars in front of our tent and campus police wondering through Kville. I found out this morning that apparently the administration was pissed that so many drinking games took place in Kville last night and many beer pong tables were left set up all through the night so they sent police to assess the situation. So first night and tent 8 already got in trouble by the line monitors for leaving the cups and table out in the open. Oopsieee.
Anyways, today we successfully built the base and set up our tent. Sleeping on wood above the ground tonight is going to make things 100 times easier. Our tent looks beautiful and we even used Bud Light bottles to support part of the base. So crafty. Lets just hope and pray that this sucker can last for another 6 weeks. Tonight should not be as cold as last night but it says a high of 28 degrees. Still not ideal. Did I mention that I caught a cold 2 days before tenting even started! What in the world was I thinking!! Now I most likely won't be able to get healthy until tenting season ends. Lameeee. Don't worry mom, I am layering up, taking a ton of vitamins (I am serious) and taking my medicine everyday. I wish you were here to take care of me though. Tomorrow starts the first day of tenting where we actually have classes to go to. I have spent a lot of today planning tomorrows schedule. Should be interesting with everyone's crazy schedules and rush events. Oh well. We will make it work. That is what I love about Tent 8. We always make things happen :)
Thanks for checking in! I'll keep you updated.
We have a patio!
