Sorrow and love flow mingled down

After almost a week of living in a state of heightened estrogen, I think I've finally come to enjoy life at the virgin vault (srd). The girls on my hall are all really nice and not into greek life at all. My roommate and I have gotten accustomed to each other for the most part, and are getting along nicely. I've been hanging out with a large group of sophomores, some of which are involved in wesley, and others who are just fun people.

Last night I went to Barton Creek, a mall near campus, to see Garden State at 10:00 with about twenty other people. I think I was the token freshman, which was weird but somewhat enjoyable :D The movie was most excellent. I saw the preview online before and had the song on my iPod before it crapped out on me, but wasn't quite sure what to think going into it. Zach Braff did a great job writing and directing the whole film; both he and Natalie Portman played the roles wonderfully. Great comic moments with meaty dialogue and a great plot. Rated R for language, which was sometimes used in excess, but didn't detract from the movie. And the previews shown before the movie were all most intriguing as well (a movie with Bill Murray and Owen Wilson about ocean explorers??) All in all, it was a fun evening.

I went to church this morning at First Evangelical Free Church, or EV Free as most call it, with Kara and her two friends, Jessica and Erica. The college service was pretty nice, and very contemporary. In the second floor room, there were possibly two hundred something students from ut, concordia and other campuses. I'm probably going to visit the University Methodist Church next week to see how I like it.

Still need to pick up three more books that came in:
Readings in Judaism, Christianity and Islam,
Picture of Dorian Gray, and
Dracula: Authoritative Text

Yes, this will be a most interesting semester.
