Fall Break! Woohoo...

And by woohoo I mean, "I am still on campus while everyone else is at home because I live too far away to go home and because I'm driving to South Carolina next weekend."  So my fall break is really, really exciting.  So far I've watched five movies, washed all my dishes, painted my nails, and cleaned my entire dorm room including the bathroom.  I'm just having so much fun I don't know what to do with myself.  I think I might go mad if I don't come in contact with some other humans soon!

This is really complainey, and I'm sorry, but I just can't handle myself right now.  I really want to be at home and it's starting to bum me out.  Tonight I do have a Skype date and I really can't wait for that, so I think I'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself right now and maybe make some crafts till then.

You Know, Just Living It Up...College Style

Oh, hey again! So a lot has happened these past couple of months.  I moved to a new town where I knew no one, started my freshman year of college, met some really incredible people and last night, had my first official college meltdown.  To say that life has been a crazy would be an understatement.

To start with, I'm officially a college student! Hooray! It's here!!  And I've got to say, for the most part it's been really excellent!  My roommate is alright, I mean we don't have much in common, but she's nice.  I love the girls on my hall and my RA.  All of them are so sweet and I know that they have my back.  I've made some really good friends on the second floor, and to say that we spend pretty much every waking second together would be quite accurate.

My classes are all going well.  They can be a bit stressful at times--hence last night's melt down--but they are ultimately good.  My favorite would definitely have to be psychology.  I'm really happy here and I feel like this is where God called me to be.  The weather has turned fall-ish and it is beautiful.  I broke out a scarf today, and yesterday I literally spent five hours outside on the quad.  And actually, as I'm typing this, I currently am in a friends hammock soaking in the beautiful outdoors.  It is excellent!  I've found a local church that I really love, and the ministries on campus are really great too.  Really I'm just so happy to be here.

There have been a lot of prospies (prospective students) touring campus lately and they are presh!  It makes me so excited to see them touring and thinking of going here that I nearly can't handle my self.  Also the wildlife on campus is so great! There are tons of squirrels and chipmunks, and as a matter of fact, yesterday I saw a squirrel fall out of a tree!  Literally he was up in some of the high branches of a huge oak tree, and I guess he got in a fight with another squirrel because it sounded like there was a scuffle going on.  Then next thing I know, there is a squirrel falling out of the air!  He landed with a thud and a squeak and then ran right back up the tree.  It was ridiculous!  I wasn't the only one who saw this either.  Two guys were walking by right as it happened and saw the whole thing too! Craziness, this is what I have to live with.

This weekend is fall break, and I may be going home with a friend.  Otherwise I'll just be here enjoying the emptiness of campus.  Next weekend I am planning to go visit some family in South Carolina, and my family is driving up there too, so I'll get to see them for the first time since August 25!  It's crazy how time flies.  It's already October.  I mean what is my life, where did the time go?

Also today the caf served soup...So it's a good day!
