Day 15

Hey guys. I am really sorry for not writing you in a while.

 I just took a quiz in New Testament that I am fairly certain I got a 75% on. I know that does not mean much to you. Basically though it represents my stability right now as far as classes go. I hate the first few weeks because that is the time period where your main goal is to discover your teacher, their methods of grading, and their methods of testing. So you tend to get some things wrong, and it can become discouraging. To survive this you HAVE to find the positive. Yes, I just flunked that test, but at least I am now prepared on how to study for the next one.

Yesterday was Victoria's birthday! It was so exciting. We started the day by taping a trash bag to her door with balloons stuffed in between the door and the trash bags so that when she opened the door all of the balloons rushed in. Then Victoria and I landed front row seats for chapel. When we walked in I turned to her and asked, "What if I told Paul Conn in Psych this morning that it was your birthday and he may or may not have arranged for the entire congregation to sing Happy Birthday to you...?" She freaked out. Haha. "What?" "Haha, just kidding. I just thought of that idea." So no happy birthday song in chapel. :( But it would have been great. Then we decorated her room with all sorts of things. Then we took her to dinner, in the cafeteria! Very special dinner night. haha. But we sang happy birthday and got the entire cafeteria to do so as well. Then Laura and her roommate brought Victoria brownies. Then we went to Chris and Elyssa's where we made and ate cake. There were these trick candles that not only refused to go out, but were like mini sparklers. It was scary. Then we finished the night off with a video of everyone back home saying happy birthday to Victoria. It was a great day.

Today a lot of our roommates are visiting their homes so we decided to have a family dinner/ movie night. We're making chicken fettuccine alfredo mixed with broccoli, garlic mashed potatoes, and rolls. It should be great! Then we are watching Lean on Me, and the Lorax. I am excited.

Anyways, I should probably get back to my math homework.... Hope ya'll are having a great day! See you next time!

Day Seven

Hey guys, sorry I have not been writing. I just have not found anything interesting enough to tell you. I have my first writing and reading assignments, but they are all pretty easy. I was working with Brenda yesterday on her first paper! She's actually not bad at it. Then we went and did a light one hour, unplanned, work out. We are also going to workout today.

I got a care package yesterday from my parents. It has a lot of food!

Sorry if things seem broken up on here, but I am trying to write in between events so that I do not forget any details.

So far all of my classes are easy, but being in college before, I know that that is only an inception, and my classes will become more difficult. I have not really made many friends quite yet. It does not really bother me though. I have met a few people, my roommate and suite mates, my core friends from home's roommates and suit mates, but that is pretty much it.

Like I said, Brenda and I worked out for our first time yesterday! It was amazing! It felt so great afterwards! Tonight we are going to meet up after her last class for pictures, dinner, homework, and then more working out! I am so excited! To all of you who sent mail or are hoping I am sending you mail, I have written letters it just cost a little bit to send stuff so I have to raise money before I can send you something. Sorry. See you soon!

Fourth Day

Hey guys. Things are getting a little better. This morning I woke up early so I decided to get some things done. I went to the university store but they ended up not having what I needed. So I went to go get my P.O. box number. Turns out that was a great idea because those who went later in the day had to wait almost two hours to get their's. So later when Victoria and Rebekah went to get their's I mailed my first envelope. Also my roommate and Rebekah's roommate Jessie decided to go to Walmart and asked me to join. I did so I could get an expo eraser, what I was looking for earlier.

I ate at the cafeteria and had A TON of food! It is so much better than I thought!

Then we went to hang in my dorm, Rebekah, her roommate Jessie, my roommate Laura, and Victoria. We watched some of FRIENDS season eight. Turns out Jessie and Laura both love FRIENDS! Yeah! It also turns out Laura is also partially lactose intolerant! Now I am chilling in the lounge waiting for my family to skype me. Though it is kicking up a little it is still a little uneventful. Sorry... Talk to you guys later!

I also have like a million bug bites up and down my arms!

Third Day

Okay, so things are starting to get a little rough. I have to say my final goodbye to my Dad and it's going to be really hard. Last night I realized how much I am going to miss him, and how much I actually rely on my parents. I am starting to get these random bursts of emotion and I am not sure how to handle it.

Today we have to go to a required Deke Day event. It's a thing where everyone goes out to serve. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I am excited because I love serving. I am nervous because I have a stomach condition that has been acting up lately and I am afraid that there will be no opportunity to go to the bathroom there if something were to happen.

Some of my friends are going to church this morning. However, I am not because I want to say goodbye to my dad. So once he leaves I was planning on doing a devotion.

We haven't gotten our P.O. box assignments and won't be able to until monday. This frustrating because everyone back home wants me to give it to them.

Lately, I have been reading up on politics. I figure that since this is my first year voting I should know about the candidates. I know, that I am probably a little late, but I think I will be fine.

Anyways, I don't really have much more to say. I will see you guys later. Bye!

Second Night

So this is my second night at Lee. I have to make this quick because it's late and my roommate is asleep. Things were rocky at first with my roommate, but I think it is all going to work out. I have lofted my bed, which saves A TON of space, however I am high up and afraid of falling so I am investing in a railing since I am known for moving in my sleep. Nothing too interesting has happened yet. I will try and post more tomorrow morning. Goodnight! :)
