New Things

Hey everyone!!

I have no clue where to begin this week, but here we go....

Throughout the week, I caught up on my studies, met new people, gained friendships, and received a new roommate.

On Friday, I went to the basketball tournament here on campus, it was a great time, and of course GC won girls and boys. The men's basketball games are a lot more exciting for me than the girls, but I support both because I just love basketball. Unfortunately, I had to go work at the REC (the fitness and recreation center) here, for like an hour. Then I went back to the basketball game. After the game, I went to play Mafia in the chapel, sponsored by GAC (Georgetown Activities Council). They plan all the fun activities that we have here on campus. Playing Mafia in the chapel is really scary. We played from like 10PM-1AM. It was really fun. Then I went back to my room and attempted to watch a movie. Definitely didn't actually watch the movie because I was really tired. I woke up at like 4AM and turned the DVD player off.

On Saturday, I had to wake up really early because the band had to play for the VIP day (Visit in Person Day), perfect time to tour campus and meet students and professors. I definitely wasn't awake, so I had to get a cup of coffee, bad idea. After one cup, I went crazy; I completely forgot how sensitive i was to caffeine.

After the band brunch we had, my plan was to go back to my room to take a nap before the game because I had to play at that to. So I go back to my room, and right as I close my eyes I get a knock on my door and it was Grant. Grant was like, "Hey man did Ticha (RD of Anderson) tell you I'm moving in here? Is that ok?" I was like, "Yeah. Sure man." So I got a new roommate. I was pretty excited. Even though I got acquainted with being by myself, I'm glad I got a roommate because it could get lonely at times. Plus, my roommate is someone that I know and he's like one of my best friends here at GC! So my recommendation to every student who is think about attending Georgetown, either room with someone you already know or really get to know your roommate before you come to Georgetown. I thought I knew my roommate at the beginning of this year because I communicated with him a lot before I came to Georgetown, but he was the complete opposite of what I expected. It’s rare to never talk to your roomate before you come here and all of sudden y'all are best friends.

So, after the football game, which we won of course, I chilled in my room then I went to watch some more GC basketball here on campus because of the tournament. After the tournament my bro, Z. Bizzle bought "Call of Duty, Black Ops". I don't really play action games but it was awesome! We played until like 2AM and I completely forgot it was Saturday and we had church the next day.

After church on Sunday, I went to the music building to practice a ton because I had a big piano test on Monday. Now, on Sunday night, I played Ultimate Frisbee in the REC for the FIRST TIME and it was awesome!! After playing ultimate for 2 hrs I went to shower and my plan was to go to sleep. That didn't happen. Definitely went to HONGS at 2AM and didn't get back to GC until 3AM, and I had a 9:00 class this morning :( but other than the waking up early it was an awesome end to a really great weekend.

Ok, well that's all I have for this week, I'm really excited to go home next week!! :)


T. Lloyd out!
