      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I woke up rather early this morning and did absolutely nothing. Still no fan, which was harsh, but I basically spent 7:30 - 10:30 unpacking a bit more, watching episodes of family guy and relaxing.</p>

<p>10:30 is when I went down to register, which basically was just signing up for stuff for Welcome Days, which I wont be going to anyway because of case debate w00t.</p>

<p>I then took the opportunity to buy a fan and a long ethernet cable, which was good b/c I could a) stay cool and b) use my desk. So now, instead of looking like an idiot and laying on the bed trying to work, I can actually work. Tomorrow's purchase may or may not be computer speakers.</p>

<p>I came back and used the opportunity (we didn't have to show up again until 1pm) to iChat AV with dad, which worked amazing. Gigabit networks are good for something. </p>

<p>Proceeded back to thwing, met some guys from the night before and toured campus: veale, ksl and ate at wackadoos.</p>

<p>orientation started officially at 4, with a speech by a bunch of univ admins and then dinner, where our group fell apart and our leader ditched us. Then came skits, which basically amounted to "don't be a douchebag" - I enjoyed how they didn't condemn crunkery, just doing unsafe things while in the state. With 56% of students drinking/drugs, they really can't.</p>

<p>Then the entire group went and did a trivia game where you sat in a row in a auditorium and buzzed into the trivia things like you have at Bdubdub (BWW) but it had a live host and a finals where you could come down and buzz in. It was supposed to help you "make new friends" but in the end it was annoying.</p>

<p>Back in Taft, sat in the lobby listening to music with the building's RAs and a few other people.<br />
Daily show rounded out the night and I'd write more but blaze is going to bed and I don't wanna be an ass and keep him up</p>

<p>ps, most of my entries probably wont detail everything in this much detail, just important points, but hey...maybe they will.</p>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>well everyone, it's my first two days or so here at case, and what can I say, it's pretty cool. All that nervousness that exists just faded away.</p>

<p>Just a side note, this is my blog home for a while. I realized that I didn't want to use lasvegasgamer anymore, this is a new part of my life and however long it lasts should be on its own blog. Similarly, I want to get away from the nick lasvegasgamer. I haven't been a gamer for a few years and I no longer live in Las Vegas.</p>

<p>I began my stay here in Cleveland by being picked up by a nice senior who told me a lot about the campus (and saved me $50 or so). that was a really great thing about tony doing it. it worked out perfectly.</p>

<p>She dropped me off and I soon had my key and found my dorm room. I walked in and was a bit overwhelmed. It was going to take a lot to make this my home.  ALSO (and this is a huge point) it was massively hot. Now, I'm used to heat Vegas style...nice dry heat, but here it's a cool temp but with HUGE HUMIDITY. I needed a fan badly and it was obvious. So, with a hot room, a huge bag to unpack and heat, I decided I was tired and went to bed after sloppily throwing on the sheets.</p>

<p>It wasn't a great sleep, but I woke up and went and had lunch at the local coffee shop. I ordered the chix salad and it sucked, I think the cranberries inside it went bad (Can cranberries go bad?) and when I came back I noticed that all my roommates stuff was in my room. Eventually his parents came back and they made his space up and we unbunked our beds. </p>

<p>Dinner was had, pizza in the lobby of our residence halls and I met a few guys. They needed help with their computers and we went over to their various dorms and I fixed it lol. Network issues. Eventually we headed over to play a game of soccer which became ultimate frisbee b/c the claim that someone would bring a soccer ball was a complete lie.</p>

<p>After said game, I came back to Taft and watch the Comedy Central roast of william shatner. Then headed upstairs and after some reading, headed to bed.</p>

<p>Hell, I'm still 24 hours behind, but I'm getting somewhat tired of writing this post. oh well. :-P, I'll post today later, for now I'm headed downstairs to see whats going on</p>]]></content:encoded>
