I drove down to State and met up with my cousin's girlfriend Lindsay, after unpacking one of my two bags we took off to go explore San Diego and get tacos. I finally got excited to be living down here, the area is so cool and I feel like I could happily work anywhere from the French restaurants downtown to ticket sales at SeaWorld. Lindsay dropped me off just in time to witness my building being evacuated for unknown reasons. After meeting some cool Freshmen we took off to explore campus while waiting for the dorm to open back up.
It didn't.
Turns out there was a flood that flooded into the basement where the electricity box is kept. (I know thats not a real thing but I don't know what it's called). No electricity. No water. No dorm.
After a silly yet fun mixer we were told that the Red Cross was setting up in the gym for all of us who didn't have a place to go. I know I could have stayed with Lindsay or some of my other friends who offered, but I opted to stay in the gym to get to know the people in my dorm. It is a really cool building with transfers, freshmen and foreign exchange students. Not to mention the baseball team (which unfortunately did not stay in the gym). This morning I was able to go to my car and get my computer, choose not to go to the commencement ceremoney and now I wait in a Starbucks trying to kill time before our meeting at 1:30. It is now 10am. Le sigh.
