It's a greener South Dakota with sheep

So as soon as I arrived I was informed that everyone was going to a disco, so I unpacked quickly and got my room in order and proceeded to a place called The Box….it felt a little like a middle school dance with no one dancing. However the lack of dancing could not compete with the lack of clothes worn by the girls…skirts barely below the bottom, breasts barely restrained, it was crazy. The nice thing was I did bond with my roommate Vanessa very well, we both have the same outlook on life and partying.
After the disco we went home to find that the house was beeping meaning we had little electricity left which is always great as the electricity box and source of the noise was in my room. However, we did find a way to quiet it and proceeded to get ready for bed when I realized how frigid my room was and how frigid it would get. I slept in fuzzy sweatpants, a t-shirt, fuzzy socks, and a sweatshirt with the hood over my head and still woke up shivering. I was woken up at about 2 as Jenny cam down the stairs holding a hairbrush and other Jenny right behind her with a hanger; apparently they heard some men outside talking and thought they were in the house. Yeah I just kinda shook my head and went back to sleep.
When I woke up this morning, my clock had suddenly jumped 2 hours ahead and I freaked out thinking I was late for orientation. I wasn’t and then proceeded to take the coldest shower of my life [I miss heat!]. Orientation was rather slow, but did find out that no tests are required and no homework either, but ironically I am kinda disappointed as I was looking forward to homework taking up some of my idle time. So my classes are starting to get squared away and I don’t have my first class until 5 on Monday…oh yeah and the earliest we can have class here is 9.
Went shopping with Jenny and a guy from Norway after orientation…looked at phones, they need a credit check for a pay as you go phone arg!, and bought some groceries and a duvet so maybe I’ll be slightly warmer tonight…
I miss everyone and wish I could be spending my birthday with you all….it’s rather lonely when you don’t party
