3. LT!! and Family Weekend!

So, this week has been amazing! I got into the tribe that I really wanted and I got see my family as well as my best friend. Thursday night we found out which tribe we were going to be in. We were told to get in bed at nine with all the lights out and just wait. My roomate isn't rushing, but she was still so sweet to sit with me durning this nerve racking time. I started to hear banging on the doors down the hall and I was just thinking ahhhh the whole time. Then they came to my room and gave me a sheet of paper and I had to unscramble all the letters.. it was Lat-Web and I was told to go there next. The guy there made a few girls and I sing the Saved by the Bell theme song.. that wasn't bad because I love Save by the Bell. He gave us out pass to the next place.. it took us awhile to unscramble the letters but we finally got it. The guy here made us squel call light you would for a pig.. thank goodness I wasn't the only one there having to do it. After that i was told to go above the cafe and I will find my tribe. I was getting really nervous.. I honestly would be happy in any tribe but there is just something about Laguna. We went finally got above the cafe and heard people singing "aint no party like an NT party because a NT party dont stop".. i was like hold up.. I don't think this is the right place. Finally Alice was like they are messing with us so we opened the door and LT started screaming it was awesome!! They made us feel so welcome! We got two shirts and some notebooks for the future. We meet everyone, had food and drinks, and took a lot of pictures. We were given a kind of overwhelming amount of stuff to do but now its not as bad as I thought and I can't wait to see what the year holds.
My family (mom, dad, sister, and niece) came in on Friday as well as my best friend who lives with us now.. she attends Samford in Birmingham. I was so excited to show them my life over here and what MC has to offer. Friday night we ate at Froghead Grill and just chilled out for awhile. The next morning we were suppose to go to the Mother-Daughter Tea with Laguna but I got the times mixed up because they had changed so instead we went to the Rennisance in Ridgeland and shopped the day awhile. We ate at Sweet Peppers which was really good. I hope they had fun there because i couldnt find anything to do in Clinton haha. My best friend stayed in the dorms with me all week which was excited and she got to meet all my friends. Over all this week was a really fun week!!
