Where are all the boys?? and pictures of my dorm room!

October 03, 2005

Well the Red Sox didn't win against the Yankees enough to beat them out of the running, but they did make it into the playoffs with the wild card, so that is good news! And on Saturday when I was walking by Fenway Park (which is really close to Simmons!!), I was walking down this street that is mainly for the people who are going to the game, but it connects to another street which I was going to, and all of a sudden I see David Wells - the Red Sox pitcher - standing like 2 feet away from me! It was soooo cool! And all these people were getting his autograph and shaking his hand, but I just stood there and stared at him! So that was a very exciting moment this weekend!

On Saturday I auditioned for the MTV reality show "Real World" because they were holding auditions in Boston, among other cities, and I decided to go! Just to see what it would be like, and see if I would get on the show, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get on, but it was fun nonetheless and I can always try again when I'm older and out of college!

It started to get a little cold here last week, but then this week is supposed to get up to the 80's! And today was pretty sunny during the day and it was one of the most beautiful days ever! So who knows when it will actually get cold and stay cold, but I'm hoping not too soon!

And yes, where are all the boys? haha I thought that would be a funny title, since I now go to an all girls school for the first time in my life, and it is definitely different! I thought that I wouldn't notice the lack of boys in the classroom and around the campus, but I do! I actually don't notice them being gone in the classroom as much as just being around, but it is weird not having any boys at all. It is actually very funny because whenever you see boys you like almost want to take a double take and be like what? boys? hehe but I actually find not having boys in the classroom a huge benefit! I never have to worry about looking cute because there is a boy that I like in my class, and that is a big help when you have to wake up at 7 am for class! And you feel more empowered and able to speak your mind when it is all women. So it definitely has its ups and downs, but it's a good experience to have all in all.

I also took a bunch of pictures of my dorm room so that people can see how I decorated, and how a triple looks! It looks different in a picture obviously, but we're not cramped at all so it's not bad! So hope you enjoy the pictures, and I will write more later! This weekend I'm going to New York again to spend 4 days with my cousin because we have two days off for Columbus Day! How great is that! In Minnesota we definitely didn't get that day off! So I'm really excited about being able to see my cousin and spend 4 days with her in New York!!! I love being so close to New York and being able to take a greyhound bus for only like $30 roundtrip! How convenient! Okay, talk to y'all later! xoxo -Hannah :)

This is my lovely desk and my awesome wall of magazine pictures and pictures of my family and friends! I love my wall!!

This is my bed - I have the bottom bunk :) - and my lovely yellow comforter that is so wonderful and my soft new blue sheets!!!

This is the other side of our room, this is one of my roommates beds and her little corner area!!

This is our awesome TV and a dresser!

This is my closet! Surprisingly I have more closet space here than at my house in Minnesota! I love how organized it looks :)

And finally, the best for last, these are our AWESOME WONDERFUL BEST IDEA EVER Christmas lights that make my life!! They make me soooo happy! Aren't they adorable?? They make our room feel so homey and cozy! But if anyone has any suggestions of how to keep them up that would be great cause they keep falling down! haha
