Variety Show and Miss UNE
Hey guys! So Friday was the variety show. And it was okay. They had did the gym up really nice with a huge stage and gave out free popcorn. And there was small circle tables you sat at and then regular seats behind. I got a table with my friends and there were definitely some funny acts.
Then on Saturday was Miss UNE. This was so hilarious! It was a pageant, but guys were dressed up as girls and basically I laughed the entire time! My old R.A. Tony came out in a mock whip cream bikini, which was so funny, and he got second place. It was just super funny! The whole thing.
And on Sunday was housing selection. I was waitlisted. So, I have no clue where I am staying, although I am guaranteed housing as a sophomore. Aubrey got in to South, which are these huge suits for sophomores. Like, you share your bedroom with one other person and share you bathroom with 2-4 other people, but then you have a living room and kitchen in your suite too. I think I will probably get Freddie, which is the worst hall. Not really, but it has a bed reputation. It is kind of dingy and at the edge of campus. But, they are putting a ton of money in to it, so hopefully it will be nicer next year.
As far as the whole process, it was quite an ordeal. Aubrey’s appointment, for example, was at 4:45 and she got there at 4:30 and left at 6:50! Here’s why it takes so long, first, you have to wait in the Hang [a like on campus fast food place] for them to call you up. Then you go into another waiting room to fill out a housing contract and then after waiting in there, you get called into the final room, where you wait in a line and once you get to the booth you pick your room. Aubrey’s number was 280 [out of like 600 something] and she still did not get the housing she wanted, it is really competitive and a lot of people go in groups and use the lowest in the group to pick. But, it is okay, because even if I am in Freddie I still will be able to visit Aubrey in her room! = )

But, now my weekly routine is starting again. Wednesday I have a math test and I pick classes for next year, plus Edge meeting. I have work all week and tonight and Thursday I am going riding [did I mention I am joining the riding team next year? Woot, woot! I am so excited!] So, craziness once again! I’ll post about this week maybe Friday and then Saturday I am going to watch the riding team compete in New Hampshire.
Talk to you all later!
