Wow, I have not updated this in a while and have realized that, but school has just started and since this is about college then that would only seem right, but on August 20th, at 5:15am, I left the house and headed up to Colorado State University.
It has been an adventure. I will go though the last few days for you here.

I left for CSU and arrived in under 3 hours and stood in line for over an hour to get signed in. I got my room and my room mate Angela and I headed to the room to start loading things in. Our RA is Kumar and he is quite interesting....he is fun and tries to be serious but it doesn't work. Angela and I got all of our stuff moved in and our parents stayed to help and get things organized. We got things in the closets and the beds made and all of that lovely stuff. We then all headed to lunch and had our last meal together. It was really nice and the food here really isnt' too bad. We did receive one of the dorms that doesn't have the best food, but it wasn't too bad to me. We then walked our parents to the car at which time we said goodbye and gave our last hugs until next time and it was a bitter sweet moment! Later shortly after they left we had our first of many meetings for Key Service (community service thing) and well, that was boring. We had and hour and a half lecture at which point most of us fell asleep! We then got into our groups and talked about our expectations and everything like that. We also played some games like we were 2 years old so that was stupid. We didn't get done with all of that stuff until after 6pm and by the time we got to the room and stuff it was about 7pm and Angela and I were so tired! Angela headed to bed around 8pm so i got on the computer (my life saver) and talked to a few people here at CSU and agreed to meet up with a few that night. We walked around and played "catch phrase" or something like that, and that was nice. I headed back to the room about 9pm and was in bed at about 9:30.

Well today was another busy and early day. We didn't have to be up until about 6:45 but it was still early and it was all just for meetings. So we went to breakfast with our cluster groups and then went to meetings. We then met one of our professors which all of us would be having for our sociology freshman seminar. It is a class of 20 and its seems like it will be exciting. We then walked around and found all of the classes and building so that was a big help. I feel a lot better about that, and am not so worried about trying to find classes the first day.
Later in the day Angela and I headed to the Ram Welcome Ceremony and that was crowded and it really wasn't interesting so we headed back to the room and then later in the night we headed back out after it cooled off. At that point we met up with a girl named Katrina who was an IB student and I have been talking to her since January. We stayed there and walked and talked until about 11:30 or so. We then went back to the dorm and got ready for bed. The sleeping area here isn't bad. We have plenty of room but our own space at the same time. We are on the first floor which isnt' the best but it is still nice not to have to climb stairs every time you have to go somewhere.
There are many different people here and its just different and interesting at the same time. I am ready for this change.

Today was full of........NOTHING!!!! Hehe, today was so relaxing and it was really nice. I was suppose to go to a meeting at like 9am, but they screwed me over and so i did not go. I relaxed until about 12, when Angela came back from her meeting and we walked around for a while and then at 3:30pm i had an exam for english so i went and did that. I am now sitting here writing this. I am so freaking tired, but i need to go to another social gathering at like 8pm, so i will just wait and go to bed later. haha. Its been full of busyness the last few days which has its ups and downs at the same time. I havent' really thought a lot about home which is really nice, but sad at the same time. Well, I will update a little later and possibly just add to this one when i get back to the dorm tonight.
I hope you all are really doing well and I hope to hear from you soon!!!!
Lots of love to everyone!!!
