Krissy and Chloe Take PSU

Sunday morning, I buckled up with Lauren, Melissa, and Melissa's parents for the trip to PSU. Lauren's stuff took up the majority of the trunk, requiring a quick game o' Tetris, but we were out of GV by 10:45. Conversation on the way down went through lulls, and the toasty car gave strong inclinations towards dozing. It snowed nearly the entire evening we were there. Melissa's parents treated me to lunch at The Corner, though our wait was overly long. The time spent getting to know her parents much explained why Melissa turned out as she did. I loved meeting her friends. Grace, her roommate, is wild, and their interactions are endearing. We caught dinner en masse in East, then retired to Grace and Melissa's room for more conversation. Around 9-10, we made our way to Jeff's room and hung out with his crew. I was moody and irritated by the group dynamics. The night was not so good, and I slept badly, but the morning made up for it. After a walk that lapped both of our campuses, Krissy and I sat in on Matt's engineering mechanics class and understood the first day concepts! Unfortunately, we were half of the females present. Though Matt had another class, we met up with Lauren and Melissa for lunch, with Jeff joining us after his 12:00. A few minutes were spent conversing in Jeff's room with live background music before heading off to Intro to Archeology in an Indiana Jones hat. Getting there early, we elected for pictures with the Nittany Lion. Monday Archeology was only the recitation of 15 people, so we were pretty easily called out as non-natives. Krissy and I 'fessed up our visitor status, and the TA was fine with that. Back in Melissa's room, we watched "My Soul to Take," filmed down the street from Sam in CT. It was pretty alright, and a good way to spend some time. Dinner was exciting for seeing Will S., and afterward we hung out with Jeff's bunch again. Melissa and Krissy left a little before 11, so we watched the Daily Show then went with Matt and Jeff to another buffet. MINI M&Ms! :D I felt a lot better after hanging out with the guys. Night saw fitful sleep, but the morning was nice. It was a sad goodbye to everyone.
