Did you rip some amazing harmonies and blow them all away? Maybe that would give you some respect as a 'freshman'. Haha. Luckily I'm sort of like a Junior...at a community college....???
I don't know about the watermelon analogy, but we sell an aweful lot of watermelons at Safeway. The personal mini melons are going for 2 for 4.99 right now. Good stuff.
The fact that they even had a can of lighter fluid to use speaks volumes...
Lacey, at around the 4 week mark you'll hit the "Wow, I'm really not going home" sort of feeling. Mentally you're thinking it's that "end of camp and time to pack up and go home" time...but you never actually pack up and go home, and your brain (based on all your past experiences) doesn't get it. You're there for the next 8 months or so. You'll probably start to get into the groove, and then all the regular kids will show up for school in a week or two, and then that will be sort of a new beginning, and then you might go through that "I'm really not packing up and going home" feeling again...which isn't a sad feeling, just sort of strange that this is actually (for all intents and purposes) your home now. It takes a little while for that to sink in.
I don't think the girl with the can of fluid really knew what she was doing. Very ditsy, very "happy" "look at what I can do!" kind of attitude towards the whole flinging fluid on the fire.
My parents are coming on Sunday to help me move into the dorms. I think that after they leave, and I meet my roommate, that I will REALLY feel the affects of it all. But I'm just totally and utterly grateful to God that I haven't been too sad, or that I'm not completely lonely...Thanks for your input, Ron.

Maybe they are just used to having fires start all by themselves all the time...like because it's so hot?

The respect a freshman gets right now is about the size of a watermelon, compared to like, 10 watermelons...Do you see?
