Legendary isn't even a strong enough word to get the point across. It was without a doubt the most fun year of my life. So much went on in so little time. The 4 of us all went to high school together. We've all been friends for numerous years, even before we lived together. The fact that we were going to get a place together in housing was the only reason that me and Wayda even came to LTU. I'll never forget sitting at my house on a Saturday morning waiting for everyone to get there so we can all head out together. We had about 7-8 cars heading out here at once. It was like a parade when we pulled into the parking lot. The 4 of us were excited as all hell. We walked in to get the key to our apartment, and headed up to check the room out. Talk about a mood crusher. To start our room didn't even have a number on it. In fact, it didn't till the year was almost over. But once we figured out which room was ours, we walked inside to see a total shithole. There were numerous poorly-patched holes in the wall, holes in the doors, the kitchen looked like shit, the microwave was broke, the stove fan didn't, the carpet was torn up, the sinks and tub drained like 1 gallon of water per hour, and just endless problems. We figured we would go get some food first, the dive into trying to fix the place up. We went over to Kerby's on Evergreen. The food was cold and quite nasty, which just kept adding rain to our day. After we ate, we headed back to the place and started unpacking. All of our parents went home to get some cleaning supplies to try and fix the place up, so we had nothing to do. The first thing we did was tour the campus. Mike and I have only been here for orientation, so we only saw the Cafe and the Quad for the BBQ. It was weird walking through this place for the first time. It seemed huge at first. I know it's not compared to anywhere else, but it seemed big the first time. We went to go play some basketball but the field house was closed. Then I remember hooking up the TV, Playstation, and using Mike's 4-Player adapter he stole from his brother to play some 4-player NHL 2001. Eventually we got up and continued to walk around housing. Mike and Eric wanted to keep following this girl wearing tight pink pants, and neither me or Brian had anything against that, so we followed along. Funny part is, Mike has been going out with that same girl for over a year now. Anyways. All our parents got back to the Apartment around 6~7ish and we started cleaning up the place. We let off several bug-bombs to be safe (the room looked that bad) and we were just going to stay the night back home. This really sucked. Finally moved out of the house, and my first night I had to spend back home. Here are some pictures of when we first moved in:

So we carded a door down the hall and Mike and Brian brought it down to our room. 3) The family member's in a cleaning frenzy trying to fix up the place. 4) Brian and Eric's bedroom door. HA 5) The Fricke's cleaning up Brian and Eric's room 6) Brian dancing in front of his broken door. I don't ask questions. 7) This is the entire building.
