real update, omgz!
i haven't written a real entry in awhileeeee...
but i have time and motivation to do so tonight, yay!
tomorrow classes start at shen! i can't help but think how happy i am to NOT have to go back there again. honestly though. its a feeling of unimaginable relief. i don't even know why. it just got so repetitive and stifling after awhile, i guess. i was talking to my friends that are going to be seniors and i felt really horrible for them. i wished them luck and told them senior year was fun and when they said "really?" and i said "no :( "...but that maybe it will be better for them than it was for me because i was stupid last year, haha. buuuut anyway, that's all in the past. i e-mailed my math teacher from last year to say hi and remind her that her crazy per 2 class will be visiting her before xmas break and that she better not forget us. i told her about my ridiculously easy college math class & how she would laugh if she saw my homework. i hope she writes back, we all miss herrrr. i have a picture that we took last year in class and its in my dorm now..i love it.
so i haven't really sat down to write about school. i guess i'll do that. i feel like i should write a 12 page letter thanking my parents for paying for me to be here. everyday i wake up and even on my worst days i can't help but smile because i feel like i'm in paradise. the whole experience has been kind of surreal in a sense that everything kind of happened so fast. i fell into a great group of friends almost instantly, and they've made me feel really comfortable. the worst part about leaving was the anticipation/anxiety about finding friends and being away- and then when i got here, since that feeling was practically nonexistent for me, it seems like my transition was ridiculously smooth. not complaining though, just sayin. having fun people around makes life a lot easier because i don't feel alone...and i guess that's why i don't have any desire to come home. i thought i would be really really homesick, but i'm not in the least. it's kind of weird. like, i love my family & all that, and my friends of course, but i'm content with being away. i didn't really expect that, but its good. and its a lot better than hating life. plus this place is just amazing. south florida is my favorite location in the world already, and the fact that i get to live here is incrrrredible!!. UM itself is amazing too because its everything i could want in a school- its not too big, but not too small, the school spirit is crazy, its surrounded by amazing things to do, and the academics aren't too shabby either. i love it.
i'm also ridiculously lucky because i have the best roommate ever. we get along so well and i love living with her. manda rocks my worlddd and we have so so much fun....and we get to laugh when everyone talks about how awful their roommates are cuz we have each other!... and then i get to tossle her 'fro and we take ridiculous pictures and dance to lame old school music. :D but seriouslyyy, she's amazing and i get happy just thinking about her wonderfulness. yay.
so yeah, that's that. its late now and i have the longest day ever tomorrow...and hopefully it stops raining bc its been going nonstop lately. if the sun does start shining, i'll have my first lax practice with the club team tomorrow! yayyy. should be fun..and a whole lot different from frevola's army. haha, woo, i'm excited. but yeah, not sure when i'm going to write again, so until next time...!
take it easy!
