The last day of New Student Orientation was here. The last day mostly dealt with specific majors and the late-comers to BYU. I didn't really need to go to anything that day.
Even though this was only a few days, ago, I honestly don't remember most what I did during the day. In the early afternoon, me and one of my roommates walked over to campus to take a walk-through of where our classes are going to be. It was kind of crazy all day.
In the evening is when things got fun. For the NSO finale, the had Divine Comedy perform. Divine Comedy is what lead to Studio C and all the actors on that show started out at Divine Comedy. Stacy, from Studio C, was sort of like a guest performer. It was really cool to watch it live, with a few hundred other people. It was so crowded down there, me and about 300 others couldn't find a seat in a crowd that rivals the size of stake conference. They were really funny and it was all good and clean humor. They will perform a few more times during the year and I will be there for sure!
Sunday was nice and relaxing day. My floor and the floor right beneath us are in the same ward, with a few floors from one of the boy's buildings. Church was really weird from what I am use to. There was the usual chatter as people got in and sat down. As soon as the bishop stood up, the room went silent. It stayed that way for a good while longer too. No kids or babies making any noise. Later in the evening we had Ward Prayer in the first floor activity room. Never done that before. After Ward Prayer, we had a floor meeting (I'm on the 4th floor). We did a few little get-to-know-you games and just went over some floor business. Then our RA (Resident Assistant) Michelle, told us about this thing called Tunnel Singing. Every Sunday night at 10, people meet under the bridges and sing hymns. Most people do it as loud as they can. There were several hundred people there. It was one of the coolest things I have ever done. Singing hymns in a tunnel with a few hundred other students. After a few hymns we would just stop and kneel in prayer. This place is just amazing.
