Packing Lists!

Wade you've got a thing about nudity don't you?
We should post something on the FAQ board. On what occasions are clothes optional?

They are optional in the shower!

LOL wow... nudity..haa

I'm bringing my afgan that I crocheted this winter Quite soft and comforting... as far as like "fun stuff" aren't we supposed to bring like formal wear/ costumes? or whatev?

No offense, dude, but if we end up being roommates, and you end up sleepin naked, we're gonna have some problems. LOL.

Ha ha ha! Don't worry Ace--you're safe from Wade. He's visual arts, which don't get roomed with Humanities students. But drama boys (and Ryan)--watch out!

Ahhhh! Roommates coming so soooon!

hahaha i love the uncomfortable tension in this thread. well as for blankets i was thinking about it yesterday and i sleep with a big comforter and this red fleece blanket i really want to ring both hmmm and just incase people didnt know remember that you need to buy twin long sheets there not regular sized good for us tallish people!

yeah, we only get sent our roomates but by asking around, we can find out our suitemates...well if they use the forum that is..

I thought Humanities and VPA were paired up together? Maybe not?

I will just bring a comforter and maybe an extra light blanket and lots of pillows!!!

Ok so this morning I was all "Gov School YAY" and I realized I really want to bring a bike... If I have room I wonder can I? that would be FUN!

Oh you're actually not allowed to bring bikes sorry :-(. I know, i wanted to bring one too (also no roller blades or skateboards). The pamphlet has a list of what you can't bring.

Bummer. That would have been fun.

Does anyone know if we get access to the gym/rec facilities on campus? Or the library? I know we get computer access...

Yeah we're allowed to use all of the gyms and all of the libraries. My brother went two years ago (it was at Richmond then though) and he used the library a bunch.

Well FREAK that... no waterguns or bikes... I don't LIKE other sports or running.. grumble grumble...

I just thought of tools... (Which if someone says I can't bring those...)every roomate group should have some sort of screwdriver/needlenose plyer(not knife) thing b/c EVERY time we move my sis into college we need and don't have them

well gyms are ok. I gues... LOL I guess I have to get all my biking out in june

There should be stationary bikes in the gym....actually cheap ones hurt your butt really bad, but all in all they are an okay alternative.

yes but the POINT of biking is to GO somewhere. To feel the air against your face... your a cross country runner you understand... but I shant gripe... I'm still to psyched to GO

Well personally I'd take a treadmill vs. actually outdoors running anyday. I'm not sure why but i much prefer the gym to outdoors running and biking

I'm having trouble keeping up with this thread --- lots of questions scattered about and I'll see if I can hit some of them.

Correct on the no bikes, roller blades, etc. Mostly a safety issue - both yours and those around you.

While we will have access to fields and such, CNU's fitness center is 18 or over only. So, out of fairness it is not an option for any Governor's School student. Sorry 'bout that, but it is out of my control.

I don't have personal experience with the A/C at CNU, but previous experience with institutional A/C seems to be feast or famine. I'd suggest packing along a sweatshirt or sweater in case classrooms are chilly.

Library access - totally.

Tools - sure, though please don't take apart the furniture.

And good reminder about the extra long twin sheets.

So no treadmills?
Bummer.
Outside running it is, then.

Dang. No fitness center?
I'm tryin to get in shape this summer. I guess I'll just have to exercise outside, and do good old fashioned push ups and crunches.

No fitness center? Awwww! I completely agree with you Bri, for some reason I just prefer gyms to the outdoors. The great outdoors is lost on me. Last year at a retreat I went to, instead of running outside, I ran laps around the halls of the dorm at 3 in the morning.

Ughhhh, what is this talk of excercise?!
blechhhhhh.
haha
What kind of costumes are you guys bringing?

I'm not really bringing costumes. I am bringing jazz shoes, character shoes, and tap shoes though. I really don't know what I would bring for "costumes".

I meant for the dances, not for classes.

well I'm definitely thinking of getting a mask for the masquerade ball (masks are hott! haha ), and hopefully i can borrow an indian suit from one of my friends for the "around the world" dance (i look GREAT in a kurta....hahahah)
for "through the decades", I'll porbs go with a 50s greaser look...gotta love the happy days! or 80s! hmmmmm....
"all holiday's eve"? i'm guessing that mean whatever holiday?? will just a santa hat do? hahah

Oh geez, Around the World! I don't have anything....I could probably dig up an asian dress from somewhere, but I'm not very authentically Asian at all. OH! I GOT IT! I CAN WEAR A TOGA!

Has anyone got a full blown bunny suit for the holiday one?
