HELLLO from St. Pete!: The countdown begins....T minus 16 hours until boarding time!

THAT'S RIGHT: I have officially completed an entire semester of college. And the next time I write to you I shall be in the O-H-I-O! Woooooo! HOMESKIS AT LAST! It has been FOUR months of shower shoes, caf food, skype, and having independence and zero privacy, haha. HEY it's also been AWESOME. Like that time I went pipefish collecting with FRP, just generally making some awesome friends, going kayaking and the like. It's been awesome. I really feel like I've such a great transition into college, I feel incredibly lucky for that.
WOOO!
This past weekend, the weekend before finals, the Gamma fire alarm kept going off! It went off twice between five and seven on Sunday morning/saturday night. I want to know how many more times I will wake up to that WRETCHED fire alarm noise? I think not once more during the remaining fifteen hours of my semester here....Tuesday afternoon our fire alarm went off again in our house, and the hallway sprinklers went off, flooding the hallways, and causing a general brouhaha. It was QUITE the fiasco, let me tell you. So everyone in our house had to be evacuated, six of us stayed at another dorm ALL the way across campus away from EVERYTHING. The others stayed at the Holiday Inn in St. Pete. It was quite streesfull, but our awesome people here got the dorm fixed up by five o'clock the next day and VOILA I am sitting in my bed, blogging to you!
ALSO This weekend, before the fire alarms, we had a WHGC study group and we were SO ALL STUDIED OUT, so we decided to go to IHOP and get some yummy pancakes. Chris, Laura and I went to IHOP and then went and roamed around WAlmart. It was super fun but the best part was it was FREEZING and windy and RAINY that night and when we got back to campus, Laura and I had went puddle jumping. The puddle jumping turned into a puddle war and we got absolutely SOAKED THROUGH. It was super fun. Later that weekend my friend Paul and I hung out and watched some of the Office on my laptop. Overall it was a generally wonderful last weekend of the semester!
