So Friday Dad and I traveled to College Station with all my possessions in my little Saturn and in Dad's big blue truck: Babe. We got here safe and sound around 3 p.m. I checked into my apartment and we then began to unload. It took us each 14 trips and about 2 hours; after two trips we would sit in the living room for about 5 minutes to cool off and drink some water. I had forgotten how humid it is here!! We then went out to eat and then after that we said our goodbyes. My Dad has never really showed or said how much he loves us kids- not like you would see on TV. Well when we were saying goodbye my dad hugged me about 4 times and kept kissing my forehead and cheek- he has NEVER done that!! He also kept saying "I love you, have a good week, do well, have fun, I love you..." My Dad is going soft in his old age-he probably doesnt help that Janna is in N. Carolina and that Hal is in Colorado but about to deport for Iraq.....
Today I went and toured campus with some peeps from T-Camp. I feel much better now: I feel like I know the campus a little better, though I am still learning my way around, and also I know that I have a social network here. There are people here who are willing to help me when needed, hang out with, and just be around. I didnt have such at Tarleton and that was a main component for why I was so unhappy there.
I cant believe school starts tomorrow!! I feel like it shouldnt start for at least another month!
I am taking 12 hours majoring in Agricultural Leadership and Development class of 2009 but classified as a junior to deficit hours.
