sitting here all by myself just trying to think of something to do

So. I guess I'm like a totally independent college kid now. Mom and dad and Jen left this morning... Hmph. Definitely came home and got in the shower and boo-hooed. I mean I think it's good because now I can really concentrate on like actually LIVING here (it still feels like I'm majorly on vacation)... But still. I miss them already. Counting down the days until Sept 27... I'm tempted to buy my plane tickets already just to comfort me a little bit. Not to make it sound like I'm totally miserable. I'm not. Just... I dunno. Normal I guess, considering that I just moved away from home.

So! Let me tell you about our NASTY ASS suite mates!!!

OOOOOOOOOH
MYYYYYYYYYYY
GOOODDDDDD


So! Yesterday Alyssa and I decided we were gonna clean the shower because it was mildewy and stuff... so we get in there and its like... our bathroom walls grew hair. Those nasty ass girls had hair in the drain, all over the walls, EVERYWHERE!!! We were soooooooooooooooooooooooo grossed out. So we clean the shower like hardcore... SOS pads, Mr. Clean erasers, Scrubbing Bubbles, the works... And it's like sparkling. THEN. I come home this morning (I spent the night at Mom and Dad's hotel last night) and go to take a shower... OH MY GOD. It looks like someone like shaved their head and just threw their hair in our shower. IT IS ALL OVER THE WALLS. I was so grossed out. So we left them a sticky note on their door saying hey lets have a little chat about bathroom stuff, etc... They still haven't come over, but I swear to God I will bust a CAP.

Anyway. I haven't really done much going out... It's just not so much my scene. It will be even easier to resist when classes start tomorrow I'm thinking. I need to get my books... I dunno. We finally went grocery shopping (though I'm not sure why... it's like I think I'm just nervous or whatever, but I'll get like REALLY hungry for about 30 seconds... and then I have like absolutely no appetite. It's obnoxious, but at least I'm not eating everything in sight. Just drinking A LOT of water. It's insane.), so I have like PB&J, crackers, juice... I worked very hard to not just get everything fattening in sight. And I think Zack (my friend from orientation) will be good motivation for going to the gym, because he likes to work out. ALSO, Alyssa, Brittany (another friend from orientation, she and I get along very well), and I want to take this weekly class at the Rec center called Stretch & Tone... We're thinking it's gonna be a cross between yoga and pilates. Could be fun. ALSO, we had a floor meeting and we're talking about taking a self-defense class like as a floor, because apparently the number of rapes of college students here has gone up 4x. No bueno. However, I feel bad for whoever would try to rape me, because Lord knows I would open a can. So... No freshman 15 in sight... yet. I've gone out to eat a lot since mom and dad have been here though... We went to Pascal's Manale and like 3 other places.... that I can't remember the names of. We also went to Hemline, Ah-Ha, and Frock Candy (shops on Magazine St.) and splurged a little bit. I got 2 dresses and a few shirts.

I dunno. It has been hectic but at the same time I have had a lot of free time... and you know what means... soul searching!! I am very much looking forward to classes starting... because, truth be told, it kind of makes me feel like a big loser / lonely when I don't go out... But I just reeeeeeeally don't want to! I am just so determined to keep a good rep and get my shit done and be on top of everything... So I think having classes and having stuff to study for will make that a lot easier. We looked at apartments (just from the street, didn't go in anywhere..) for next year. There is this one building called Octavia... it's cool. The apartments look pretty big, and all the balconies are screened in... which I think is kind of cool you know, you can keep your door open and not worry about bugs or anything. I dunno. Just a thought. Jen and I want to move in together when she graduates... whenever the hell that may be. Anyway. I'll try and summarize the rest of the weekend. We had an opening convocation in the chapel in the front of the campus... BEAUTIFUL church. But boring speeches. We also took our infamous class picture... Zack, Brittany and I are standing in the back totally not paying attention... though the guy probably couldnt see us anyway. It was just soooo hot. Yesterday Zack and I walked around Audubon Park a little bit, then I came home and went out with the family.


Basically, I REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY miss my besties and my family and my puppy... But I think I will be ok. For now, at least. :)

I love my beautiful best friends. And I miss them. A lot. A lot a lot a lot.
