The showers are an experience. You just can't leave dry. You hang your towel and clothes on the hooks out of water's reach, but they are strait hooks, not really hooks at al, so by the time you are ready to get out, you find all of your dry stuff, on the floor, drenched in your shower stall's runoff. Its an invigorating experience to put on sopping wet, cold clothes. :O) then walk the whole way to your dorm dripping. It puts things in perspective. On the cold journey, I wonder, is this just one of the many life lessons of humbleness One is expected to learn at a liberal arts university. The same thought occurs to me frequently when i consider the other everyday hurdles thrown in our way. For instance, there is no soap in the rest rooms. there are four shower and bathroom stalls each, and five sinks, with one paper towel dispencer, but no soap. is this some sort of test in self sufficientcy, like, we'll see if you're smart and you bring your own toilet paper (which the custodial staff has not refilled... ) and soap.
Are these things really tests from Clark University directly? Probably not, but i am beginning to see that they are still tests in their own right. All of Clark's little quirks are. How smart of them was it to tell every freshman to get online and register at the same time starting at 9 am this morning? the system crashed within an hour. If i could pat an establishment on the proverbial head, I would. In the meantime, I have tests to take on. I love you all. Tori, Have a great orientation. pretty soon "Hi,I'm tori from ..... Hall. " will roll off your tonge like second nature. Just keep introducing yourself. Thats the trick. every 30 or so people will be worth it, but those few will be awsome. I love you. Keep in touch.
