tedwords Woke up early in the morning and drove to RIC for orientation. The first thing we did was get our rooms for overnight. Our leader was named Rick, and he was very nice. Then we went for a greeting by the faculty. The dean was on videotape, and it was really dumb. We had lunch shortly after.
Since I didn't know anyone, I just sat down anywhere and went for my lunch. When I returned, three girls were sitting where I had been. One looked surprisingly like Kim. I sat with them and we chatted and went to classes (short things) together. One is in music.
After that we had a break. I watched "Duck Soup" with a few (very few) others, and didn't like that very much. For dinner I thought I could sit with the Kim look alike, but I ended up not and sat with someone else. It depressed me a bit.
That night we were supposed to go to a cabaret, but the lights went out in Gage Hall, so we instead had an all night dance. It was boring at first, I ignored the Kim look alike but then met this really nice kid from Bishop Hendriken. His name was Richard Paquette, and he was obsessed with starting a drum corps. A bit spacey, but a nice kid nonetheless. We hung around for the rest of the night. He asked why I wasn't trying to score--and I lied and told him I was going out with a girl named Mary-Beth. So, I lied a little.
He was also into Army things. We called a friend of his and spent the night playing hand made chess. All in all, I felt pretty good as I went to sleep that night. Perhaps I've made a good friend at RIC. Who knows?
