One of the most exciting things for me before coming to school was finding out who my roomate was going to be. For some people this can be extremely stressful, but for others, like myself, it was exciting. I was counting down the days until I would find out who he is, where he is from, whether he was a Red Sox fan, which he is not, and what kind of music he listened to.
When I first talked to Albert, a big sense of relief came over me. He is in the Army ROTC and loves country music just as much as I do. The one thing that I would change about him if I could would be the fact that he is a Yankee fan. But hey, no one is perfect.
Albert gave me, and our friends, one of the most funny moments since we've been here last week. I was in another friends room playing FIFA and all of a sudden we hear this small thud followed by an even larger one. So my friend, Mike, and I take a look out the door and see Albert rolling on the ground holding his head moaning. We take a walk over laughing at the sounds that he is making, and at the same time our RA comes out. He thought that someone was throwing a lacrosse ball against the wall.
In reality what happen was he ran into my neighbor, Will's room, slapped him on the chest, and turned quickly to run away. In the process of turning while being bent over, he slammed his head on the door frame, and fell straight to the ground. Within minutes of hitting his head, he had a welt on the left side of his forehead the twice the size of a catepillar but in that shape. Easily the funniest moment to be had so far.
