Slusher Hall Happenings

It began with an invitation from Erin and Shannon across the hall.  They yelled into my room "Chelsea, come here!" They then asked if I had seen The Notebook and I replied that I had.  They then asked if any girl would watch The Notebook with a guy.  I laughed and replied that they probably would.  They then yelled "See, I told you so!" to Matt, a friend visiting from their old high school.  They then introduced me and my room mate Samantha to Matt and Ethan from Powhatan High School.  They were sitting on the bench that is located at the end of Slusher Hall.  Samantha and I decided to come out and join them sitting on the floor.  We started off discussing the excitement of the first game and made observations of the turkey gobble and the drunken girl who was stumbling on the stairs.  Ethan was sort of quiet with a smirk on his face, while Matt was very outgoing and involved in the conversation.  They discussed how they go to Bluefield College in Virginia for baseball.  Hannah, my room mates best friend from high school that was visiting, opened our door and walked out when she finished changing.  She introduced herself and chimed into the conversation.  She discussed how she goes to Belmont Abby in North Carolina, which is a school that was founded by monks.  The conversation jumped back and forth between Matt and Ethan joking about their rules to Hannah discussing the strange people at her school.  Matt and Ethan told us about a rule that they have at Bluefield that when girls come in to visit guys or vis versa, they each must have one foot on the floor at all times.  Hannah then told us that she sees monks walking around her school and they only have buildings two floors high because that's all the monks could do.  Melanie and Lily's door then opened and Mel walked out and said hey.  She sat down and asked what we were doing, when someone responded that we were just chilling.  She was introduced to the non- VT students at this time.  She then sat and talked about her room mate and how she hates college and wrote "1-2-3 breathe" on her personal white board.  Matt and Ethan then got up and took a marker to write on their board.  They wrote "Hey nice meeting you, be happy!"  About two minutes later Lily walked down the hall coming from work.  She saw the board, looked around at us, scratched the writing off and slammed the door.  Everyone was sort of shocked and felt bad.  We then looked at the time and realized it was 830, and no one had eaten dinner.  Samantha, Hannah and I were going to their friend Jay's apartment, so we did not have time.  We decided to leave and go get ready to go out instead.  We all said our goodbyes and then we went our seperate ways.
