**Project 365 Edition: Freshman Year in College. Starting 8/20/2011**

This blog was originally a blog devoted to a great high school class of mine, but I've decided to transform it into a Project 365 blog (a photo blog where you post a picture everyday for a year). I fell in love with the layout of crayons and cuteness (and wasn't savvy enough to redo it) that I'm just staying here! My teachers may very well still get notifications when I post, but whatever. If so, hi Bolos and O'Connor! :P Feel free to un-link yourself if you get bored/annoyed of me...

I'm not sure how keeping up with the daily posts will work for me (especially seeing my track record of weekly posts in that class) but I thought it would be a neat idea to at least get a feeling of the first year of college, of freshman year. Making new friends, new habits, and living a new life. Also apparently being corny as hell. Maybe this new life can include actually posting each day. Probably not. Let's cross our fingers for me?

Kawledge and Knowledge

(I count this as a post for yesterday because it was finished but I forgot to click publish...fail)

So internet as been a little sketchy and getting on and posting has not been the easiest so I'm sorry for my fail of the last couple of days.

FAIL.  I don't have a picture for today! :(
Today was orientation stuff which I mostly didn't have to go to, but then they had a giant freshman dance outside at the end of the day. Which was fun ;)

Picture 5:
MOVE IN AND ORIENTATION = cray cray chaoticness - except not as bad as I expected.
And I was already moved in - extra win.
Day consists of: Free stuff and lots of people. Convocation (PARK/MUDD PIRATES REPRESENT)

Everyone in their ResCollege T-shirts, finally sitting down after cheering like crazy for our respective ResColleges!

Picture 4:
At City Museum, being completely terrified, but also having SO MUCH FUN. Do you see how high up we are? Do you? DO you see what we are climbing though?
As well as having a ridiculously crazy time at City Museum we also did another service project which was fun.

Picture 3:

The whole picture thing kind of FAILed today. We did a lot of interesting things but I just never got out my camera or phone, which was stupid, because today was pretty eventful.
I can however, give you a blurry representation of how we all felt after the day's work.
Everyone, meet Declan. Also meet blurry bus pictures.

Some of the days activities: community service talks/discussions, scraping/cleaning/painting the longest outdoor wall you have ever seen, eat at a random Thai restaurant, a big international grocery store, and hanging out in a cool park playing Egyptian ratscrew, and a poverty simulation

Picture 2:

We had some incredible speakers today and learned all about what goes on outside the WashU bubble. It was intense and amazing, I couldn't even begin to fully describe.

Looking on at a memorial for one of the many kids who has died as either a direct or indirect result of the poverty/ drugs/violence/neglect  in certain areas
