More New People

     Friday was the honors college picnic. We broke out into a scavenger hunt. We had to get proof of each spot by taking pictures. This resulted in our group sprinting to each place (in flip flops) to try to win the ultimate prize: a gift certificate to jumba juice. When HCAB (Honors College Advisory Board) had done this hunt, it took them about an hour. We managed the whole hunt in under 30 minutes. We didn't win, but it was awesome to jump fences, run up escalators, and eat jimmy john's afterwards.
     At this point, it was becoming obvious that our room was the home to not just the eight of us, but the home of about 20 other people. It is very rare for any of us to walk into our cluster and not see someone else there. Earlier today, we took about 15 people around to meet every single room in our tower.
     We have an open door policy and let any one come on in and eat our junk food. One of our cluster mates is allergic to wheat. As a result, we have a gluten free, four day old  chocolate cake. At this point, the 6lb. bag of gummy bears has been completely devoured. Tonight, we fried a bunch of twinkies while watching Everybody Loves Raymond in the lounge of JST Tower D.
     Tonight was also the late night target run. They shut down target at 10:30 to give us free food and soda while we bought school supplies at discounted pices. It somewhat felt like black friday as people piled in through revolving doors that stopped only when arms and legs were temporarily stuck.  Overall it was a great night.
