SOAR

That stands for...something about orientation at UNLV. I have to spend all day Friday at new student orientation so that I can register for classes. I am a little nervous because I have to spend an entire day somewhere that is not familiar to me and I have to do it alone. I am painfully shy around people I don't know so I'm a little concerned. I am excited to finally get registered though. This week has been pretty boring. I went to the book store on Saturday and got the newest book in the Sookie Stackhouse series (the books the show True Blood is based on). Of course since I am a nerd I read the entire thing (about 300 pages) in less than half a day. I also purchased a new book by Jen Lancaster who I think is hilarious. She has a few books out and I've enjoyed all of them. Sunday I studied for my math final and just hung out. I went grocery shopping for the week which wasn't so bad even though I went to Wal Mart. Of course on a super busy Sunday they would only have 3 check out lanes open. I took my final on Monday and I didn't do well, but I'm pretty sure I'm still going to pass the class and that's all I care about. This Saturday I have the Girl's Day Out at the Boy's and Girl's club. Last year Samantha, Shelley, and I went to it and it was really fun. We get to be "big sisters" for about half a day to some underprivileged girls and at the end of the day the girls win prizes. Last year there weren't enough women so I had two little sisters. It was a little challenging, but it was a good time. They are sponsored by taco bell so there's food and there are tons of games to play. Last year a disabled girl won the best prize and I swear there wasn't a single woman in that room that wasn't crying. After the event a restaurant hosts a little something for the women who helped. They give out prizes and you can get a free glass of wine (yuck). Last year everyone sitting at my table won an awesome prize except for me. I won a laptop bag with the southwest gas logo on the side. I was a little sad, but I didn't do it for the prize so I was ok with it (Samantha won a really cute purse from Banana Republic though). Other than that there isn't much to say. I'm super excited that I don't have to worry about homework for a few months, but in that time I'm going to be moving and making some major changes to my life. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get to rest, but then I think that I would get bored!
