*448 - greetings from balch hall!

I'm here! :D Sitting in my dorm room now, getting used to my new laptop that I just set up last night. The windows are half open and the crisp morning air is wafting in and I'm pretty happy, even though I did wake up at 6 am, and 4 am the previous night, and probably something like 5 before that. It'll probably be a few more days till I work my way to 7 or 8 or something less unearthly.

Maggie Thank you, and hello! (:
Jon Thanks! Gosh, didn't get to catch up with you before I left, apart from the 5 minutes in a cab ):
WJ Hehe I can just imagine you dying here because I can walk across the biggest mall here in about 30 seconds ;)
SMADDY LIZARD I miss you!!
Sarah I miss you tooo. ): Take care alright? If you need anything from the US just holler (:
Weicheng I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T SEE YOU BEFORE I LEFT!! ): Very upset boohoo. Miss you and Sam and everyone else!
Sandhya Thank you, I'm sure you're having loads of fun settling in too!!
StalkerSharan How could I forget you? :D Thanks!
xY ): I brought your lovely card along with me!
Charity Thanks, I sure will ;) Let me know when you are leaving ok?
Desmond Thanks for sending me off, and for the present/card! (:
Triple grand junior That makes me sound really old! Haha but I still feel young so that's okay ;) Study hard!

Now that that's out of the way ...

I'm settling down great - there certainly are moments where I find myself completely alone and totally lost and that's a very terrible hollow feeling, but those moments are few and far between. There's Nat and Yogi, thank God for them, and a bunch of new friends I've been getting to know.

The campus is really pretty even and my dorm is gorgeous from the outside - the inside is a maze and I get lost about 5 times every day. My room scared me to death at first glance because it looked even more ancient than I expected, but right now I'm loving it because it's becoming more cosy as I decorate it and it's super huge for a dorm. It's even less cluttered than my bedroom at home and I can easily do a little dance in the middle of the room - I once tried to do an attitude pirouette in my bedroom at home and nearly broke my leg.

Right now I'm transferring the 300 photos that I took over the past 4 days into my computer, but I haven't got Photoshop yet or any other image editing software on my computer, heck, I haven't even bought the microsoft office package yet! So here are some photos taken before I left, just for the time being, and because they were waiting in photobucket to be posted anyway. (:

Guess who came over to play DDR (with both mats at the same time) before I left? :D Joel bought the DDR mats, it's kind of fun actually hehehe.



And guess what we baked? Look at the next 3 pictures ...







Have you guessed yet? They are ...



COOKIE MONSTER CUPCAKES!! :D



We brought them to dance as a goodbye present! My last class boohoo ): And Weicheng, I hope you see this, because I baked these SPECIALLY for YOU!! And I couldn't find a way to pass them to you after that ): Take care ok!

A series of monster faces to match the cupcakes.















And to commemorate the last dance class at Jitterbugs and all the happysexypassionatecool times I had there ...






With Marcus. We r so kewl.


The sweet aunties who go for class every week!

Now I've an hour left to get ready to go out, and that's just about right. Drop me an email okay? (: Missing everyone back in Singapore!!
