It's about to Begin!!!!

"Life Stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes."                                                                                                                                        ~ Carl Friedrich Gauss 

I am officially moved into my apartment. I have met four of my new roommates and they all seem very nice. I have had a good feeling about my roommates and so that makes me feel comfortable to be in a new situation. I am still nervous though, so don't think that I am not. But everyone is super nice and funny. My room is all set up for school to begin and my room is a lot bigger than my previous semesters. My closet is bigger as well, which means that I have more space for clothes. But I feel like that the kitchen is smaller, which I don't like. The bathroom has great lighting and a lot of mirrors so that you can work at one mirror and someone else can work at another one. When you walk out of the bathroom area there is a full length mirror and sometimes I get surprised to see someone moving towards me and when I look at it, it is myself. I am such a silly goose.

Yesterday, I got to see my friend/former-roommate Lily. It was so good to see her. I have missed her so much. Lily had rented a car and we went to the town that is bigger than where we are at. We went to the theater and watch Cinderella!! I love Cinderella. It is just so clean and when I am finished watching it I feel like a princess and want to dance out of the room. It just makes me happy. It was well done. When the movie was over we went out and ate at Red Robin. Then she dropped me off at home. I had a great time with her.

I finally have a SCOTT STERLING shirt!!! I love it. A roommate from last semester got it for me. I am so excited.

Today, was another good day. I actually finished unpacking today. I have all my pictures and things hanging up that are from my family and friends. Then I went and picked up my books with my new roommates. We walked around campus finding classes for one of my roommates, who has not gone here before. Then she, E, took us out to lunch for showing her around. Which was very nice of E. We went to Jimmy John's. After that we went back to our apartment. We just hung out until 6ish, where we went to Soda Vine and then to the movies where we saw Home. It was a really good movie. I would recommend it to others. Then we came home and did what we needed to. Then to pass the time we watched another movie. During the movie I met the last roommate. I haven't really gotten to talk to her as she left soon after she got here.

Well that is all for now and I hope that this semester is great with these new girls. I have had fun with E and S. I have only met M twice so far, but she seems nice. Ke seems nice as well, but seems to keep to herself, but I think that it will change with her room-roommate back in town now. Then Ka I only met for a couple of minutes before she left as well. So I don't know about the K's or M, because I haven't been around them as much as E and S. But they seem nice.

Wish me the best of luck.

Back to School

So it is another Semester of school. I traveled all the way from home again and am staying with my second Family, until I can start moving into my apartment. Every time I leave my family and dropped off at the airport, I am always in tears. You think that it would be easier every time, but for me its the same, but I don't think that I would have it any other way. I sat by very nice people. Those that I sat by where either traveling with friends or too see friends. Which I thought was awesome.

When I left home it was spring time and starting to get warm and everything was blooming and trees where getting their leaves. As I was flying to DFW airport. It was raining, but warm. Then I get on a plane to SLC airport. Guess what the pilot said. That a cold front had moved in and it would be cold when we landed in Utah. I was not ready for that. I am just glad that I brought my coat and didn't take it out when my luggage was over weight. Waiting for my bus to take me the rest of the way, was cold. I found gloves in my pockets and put them on. I was so pleased with myself and that I was prepared. I slept as much as one can on the bus. At one stop this teenager backed up into the bus. I saw him backing up and was wondering why he didn't drive forward as there was no one in the parking space in front of him. But he didn't and so we had to wait for that to be dealt with and then we were finally on our way. But I didn't sleep the rest of the way, just in case I didn't let my second Family know that I was almost there. I got to my destination an hour later than they said I would. But I made it safely since it was snowing or slushing the whole way. It was so hard to be warm on the bus. My feet were freezing and there was only so much room to curl up under my coat.

But this semester will be a brand new start. I will be living in the same complex, but a different building and room than the last three semester. I will also be rooming with five other girls that I know nothing about and have never met before. I will also me in a new ward with people that I have not had before. So my nervous are acting up. One of my Former Roommate will be in town, but lives in another complex across campus. I will miss coming home to her and being room-roommates. But she needed to do what was best for herself. We do have plans for hanging out between my school and her work schedule. I can't wait to see her again. I will also know a few people from semesters before who will be in town. Maybe we can hang out sometime.

Well, that is pretty much my life changing news for now. Wish me luck on my new semester as I face the unknown or really just the change that comes with growing up. I hope I am brave enough to face it with courage and grace.
