well, i finally visited ball state...the last of three schools i have considered transfering to
and........i really really like it :)
i love the big-ness of the buildings..and the old brick they are made of just makes it a beautiful campus...it really just felt good to be on campus. i was able to go to a men's volleyball game on friday night with ellen (who really expects men's volleyball to be exciting?) but it was! the crowd was really fun and the "game rituals" were exciting too...i just felt like i was a part of something...IWU games are boring...all of them...i cant wait to go to a BSU football game!
after the game, we hung out with the team (ellen's cousin, ben, is the middle hitter). that was really fun. several of them are involved in crew, which is the campus crusade at bsu...ellen says the crew is really good at bsu...i wish i could have gone to a meeting
i got to see the dorm i will probably live in next year..woodworth..nicknamed "the nunnery" because its the only single-sex dorm on campus.. Its made up of mostly nursing students...so it will be a good place for me to meet girls i might want to get an appt. with next year.
i guess the thing that just got me is how much i felt at home there...just felt good! There is much more that played into my decision but ill spare you the boring details (mom you can call me later)
