Week One

It's official. I've made it through my first week of DAAP. It was a HUGE workload for one week but I finished everything and even attempted to have a little fun! I have made some friends with  mostly people in DAAP and the people in my section and they are all really cool. There is this one boy in my section whose name is Nick who has to be my one true love. Super cute, Catholic, from California, very nice. And I have all year to make him love me :) haha. There is this other boy named Troy who is in my public speaking class who is also adorable, and older, but he has a girlfriend and commutes so he is never really on campus. Only time will tell.
I have decided that this girl named Laura is my new bff. She is an Architecture major and we are very, very similar in the way we approach school and some things in life. I have a feeling that by the end of this year we are going to be pretty good friends. Her roommates are both really cool and we all hang out together when we can.
My roommate on the other hand is somebody that I am just going to have to learn to deal with. At first I was excited about living with her but the closer it came to mving in, the more clueless she seemed to get about everything and those are the kind of people I just dont have time for. She is messy and not very bright and for the past five nights she hasn't even slept in our room. I don't really care where she is going but it's a little weird to me that she doesn't sleep in her bed whenever she is done doing whatever. She is on the swim team here at UC so you would think that she would like go to bed early and do her homework on the night it is assigned. But no. If I had my way, Laura and I would be roommates but I dont want to rock the boat by asking for a transfer. It's not like I'm ever in our room besides to sleep or do homework so I guess I can't complain too much.
It's only the first week so hopefully everything just gets better. I really hope that is the case.

Here We Go

It's hard to believe that this time last year was the last time I sat down and wrote a blog entry. It's also harder to believe that I leave for college in like 2 weeks. All the things I spent the last two years worrying about don't matter anymore because I did get into UC's Interior Design program and I am going to kick ass at it and I'm going to make all sorts of new friends and experience new things and just live my life the way I want. I wont be trapped by the way too small town of Howard and I will have everything that the big city has to offer me right at my fingertips. I am beyond excited. When I read my last post i was reminded of the anxiety and stress I was facing in the coming year and all of the things i was worried about were not a problem like i thought they would be. Yeah, physics was a little tough but I got through it. The part of senior year that sucked the most was being so busy with work and other things that I'm afraid I let my friendship with Kayla become not as important as it should be. She is still my best friend but i feel like with her being the busy person she is and having a boyfriend we are not as close as we should be with this being our last full year with each other. This fall she is going to be a short hour away at Bellarmine University in Louisville but who knows if we will have time to go see each other. Especially since I am not taking my car. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

After my AMAZING trip to Europe over spring break this year I started working at the gas station close to my house and I had no idea that it would suck up so much of my 2nd to last summer at home. I work 40 hours a week, every week and all I want to do when I come home is go to sleep not see my friends. I have had very few outings with friends (maybe three) and even less time laying out in the sun. I am the palest I have ever been during the summer. I barely had time to buy all of the things I needed for school because of work. I don't hate it because I work with people I like and it is not to demanding physically but after a while it just gets old. Particularly one girl that I spent the majority of my time with until recently when I got moved to mornings instead of nights.

I am making a promise to myself that I will keep this blog more up to date when school gets started. I really have missed just sitting down and letting everything out and having no one even know this blog exists to pester me about it. Unlike Facebook or Twitter which more people are aware of and are more likely to question me about. Blogger, you have been sorely missed and I think will prove to be one of my closest friends once real life kicks in. Your ability to listen and not criticize is greatly appreciated.
