"i'm a bowdoin polar bear! part I" music: nothing. my roommate is asleep in the other room.
mood: anxious. excited. but some(one) is missing...

i'm in maine! WEE! XD

in brunswick to be specific. i'm at bowdoin! all moved in, (almost) totally unpacked, and slowly adjusting to townlife, haha. i'm rooming on the second floor of coleman, in a very spacious dorm, one of the two largest on the floor, with norah! it's hella sweet! XD (the norcal lingo lives inside me!) my floormates are awesome; the guys are hilarious and the girls are so sweet. my common room is very spacious and the bedroom is very cozy! we dismantled the bunk bed into two separate beds, and i flipped mine to make space for my suitcases. TONS of closet space for just the two of us. we have our fridge, microwave, rice cooker...missing electronics, but we can always head over to the guys down the hall for their tv and dvd player. (we'll bring the popcorn and brownies, hehe.) the women's bathroom is on our floor, which is AWESOME. and yeh, sweet dormlife! woot! XD i'll show you guys pix if you ask.

pre-O trip was just....mixed, lol. i had a great time, i loved my pre-O group, but holy crap i'm a shitty camper. i'm not rugged at all, i hate nature/bugs/camping, so wtf was i doing there then? well, peer pressure i guess, and the mere fact that i didnt want to miss out on an opportunity. it's not like i'm gonna do this ever again...i think. anyhow, our hiking trip was too hardcore. we had running water and clean restrooms, but we camped outside (yes, in tents and no there were no bears around, and no moose) for 3 nights and climbed cadillac mountain and beehive, two pretty decent climbs in Acadia National Park. beehive was friggin scary because of the narrow ridges and rock-climbing. definitely memorable moments from the trip! (i.e. DENNIS!!!! "at least your name isnt balls.") XD

on friday, after climbing beehive, we went to this beautiful lake on the other side of the steep trail.

gorgeous weather and perfect for swimming, except i got freaked out by the leeches >.< great view from cadillac mountain on thursday:



and on wednesday, when we went to check out the coast, the fog drifted in, warning all of us of a storm. nevertheless, the ship out there was very picturesque of new england:



. what i loved most was "climbing" the rocks on friday near thunder hole, even though i was in flipflops. again, great view of the ocean, perfect weather, and absolutely beautiful.





beautiful aint it?

part II coming up.
