a little update on life;

wow guys. let me just start by saying it has been a crazy/hectic/emotional/chaotic week. i said see you later to a few of my bestest friends in the world and it was one of the hardest things i've ever done. but i know my true friends will always be there when i come home and hopefully write me lots of letters! (:

so saturday morning was move in day! i headed to my dorm around 10am, filled out some paperwork, got my id, got my key and headed up to the 6th floor to check things out. to say the least, i was a bit shocked when i opened the door to my room. it looked NOTHING like the pictures i had. (more like a jail cell!) but after 6 hours of lugging boxes up the stairs, unpacking, and organizing, our little cell turned into a homey little place to live (: (go check out the pics on facebook!)

after getting all settled, we met with our first year leader and had some fun activities planned...

we had a few meetings, a cookout, bingo!, movies, fairs, and last night we got to see a hypnotist!!!! it sounds strange but it was one of the funniest things i've ever seen! ah i loved it.

college life so far is going really well. i'm making new friends everyday and experiencing some independence. also, i finished irresistible revolution and i HIGHLY recommend it to everyone! it was one of the most inspirational books i've ever read. yesterday, i picked up crazy love and i've only read two chapters, but so far i really like it. being "on my own" is a very new, strange experience but i'm definitely learning new stuff about myself and learning to not be so dependent on other people.

well thats all for now friends. hopefully i'll be able to post some more updates at the end of this week. GOD BLESS (:
