Social Butterfly

Second day of classes were good... my nose is sunburned. My Tuesday/Thursday schedules are pretty busy. I ended up dropping Latin. So much for sticking with it... Honestly, there has to be at least one each semester that I end up hating. So, I added another English class... it should be fun... and I think I'll still have plenty of work to keep me busy. I still have Geography, Core Humanities (which assigned about 8 huge books to be read), Creative Writing which has 4 books to be read and lots of writing to be done. Then my newest English class, which is a 304 level class, American Literature. Which.. being a lit class, will no doubt have lots of reading as well. And then we can't forget Wilderness survival! Thus, it should be fun fun fun! Otherwise, I have never been busier! I don't feel like I've ever been more social. I say hello to everyone and people are always visiting me... its fun! I feel like a social butterfly... That used to get me in trouble back in Kindergarden, now its the thing to be. I'm pretty tired though... still trying to get over my sickness... my voice is still barely there... I have Crusade in about 40 minutes, but I think I'll lay down until its time to go. Yay for... everything!

I <3 the fair

Yesterday was fun! I had church , which was so nice... and then Matthew and I went to the Crusade BBQ.... which also was nice. Cru just kind of kicked it and laid in the grass and sang worship songs.. very happy. Then I went to pick up Jason and Adam and the three of us went to the fair! Yay!! I just love the fair. we rode the farris wheel and the Kamakaze and ate funnel cake and carmel apples... I love the fair. That was yesterday!

Today I went to Latin... should be a rough class, but I want to stick with it.. even though I aready have homework. Then I sat with Crusade at the booth and just let people know we were on campus and to come to our meetings... from there I hung out a while with Drew, we had smoothies... and then Anna and I started to remodel our room, and D tried to help.. but nothing worked, so we just pushed our beds together and left for dinner. Tonight we have a room meeting which I called... I hope it goes well. I think before the meeting, Karen and I are going to go get some Starbucks... we'll see... in any case... Yay!

I love Reno.

've said it before, but I'll say it again: I love Reno. I love my friends here in Reno. I love life and I love being alive.

Life's been great in everyway. My room mates and I bonded a lot today, and it was great! We decorated our common room with a kind of Hawaiian theme... in any case, it makes things cozier and as soon as we finished decorating people showed up and it was fun!

It was a really relaxing day, in any case. Jason and Adam visited me this morning. Then Karen (a suite mate) and I went to Starbucks for my unofficial interview... it went well. It was fun hanging out with her and hearing her story... she loves Jesus too and its way fun! Karen and I have a lot in common. So, then we got back from my "interview" and Andrew and Suzanne brought me soup and cough drops because I'm still dying... I was told I sound "like a poor dying sheepy." its kind of funny. Then shortly after is when we decorated and then Matthew dropped by for a short while and then Adam and Jason came by again... then D came by and so did Kevin (who lives down on the first floor). The boys and my room mates and their boyfriends and I all hung out and it was happy! Then, tonight was the block party for all student. It was alright... Matthew and I kicked it for a little while afterward, and it was nice.

Now I'm here... just really happy and content... but coughing a lot. If it weren't for the coughing, I think I'd be so happy about life that I'd burst. Everything is just wonderful... nothing in particular... just everything. Tomorrow is church, of course, and I look forward to my little cute church! As for the moment, I took some NyQuill asbout 20 minutes ago and its now beginning to kick in.... so yep! Today was lovely... life is lovely... This year will be pleasant.

I hate small talk

Once again, I am safely in Reno. I love Reno! The weather is perfect and they have trees and green things growing everywhere. However, I am sick. Figures, huh? The last 3 days have been long and very busy. In fact, other than two brief ten minutes in the last 3 days, this is my first time alone. I love being with people... as anyone who knows me knows... but goodness! I'm also an origial only-child, so I got to have some alone time... and this will do. :-) My first night in the dorms I hung out with Tristan and his 5 other room mates until 4:30... good times. Honestly, its like yesterday had me shuffled from one friend group to the other.

My dorm is nice. (White Pine 306A, come hook it up with me!) Its small-ish, but cozy. My room mate's name is Anna. She's 17, and grew up on a farm. She's fun. Then in room B, we have an adorable Japanesse exchange student named Naomi. I haven't talked to her too much yet, but she's sweet. Naomi's room mate is Karen... I haven't actually seen her yet, but she moved in and just never came back. Then in room C we have Kayla, I like her, she's friendly. And her room mate Hannah, who's really cute. Room C seems like it should be a lot of fun. Room D has two girls, Shannon and Faun who are the best of friends so other than the first day of moving in, I haven't seen them much. So that's basically my room mate situation... I think it'll be fun. It will be a busy year... but lots of fun!

Today I'm going to make a walmart run, go back to Starbucks and speak with the manager, get my ID card activated for the semester and buy my books. I'm thinking that I'll wait to buy my books until later today because I'm told the book store isn't very busy around dinner time. I'm really looking forward to school starting... YAY!

Just Stuff

So... I made it safely to Reno. (I got here just after 1pm) I'm staying the first night at some friends house. Tomorrow I move into the dorms... Sometimes I wish I could really post exactly how I feel about things and what I think. But assuming eventually someone will read it and take offence, I will refrain. Just sometimes I wonder about people who assume the worst... or just assume in general. I look forward to meeting my room mates... I really look forward to seeing them grow this year... I look forward to seeing myself grow too... but I look forward to seeing the intense growth that takes place in the life of the youngers girls I will be living with. I will be anywhere from a few months to 4 years older than my 7 other room mates. I'm excited about tomorrow... not nervous, but aprehensive.
A lot is going to change. I had a long time to think on the 7 hour drive this morning. Should be good as far as I am concerned... others may not see it as such.
