Hmmm...I just read Lara's entry and I know exactly how she feels....a few months ago I couldn't wait to go to college...but now that I'm leaving in 12 days...I'm not as enthusiastic as I once was...I guess part of the enthusiasism a few months ago was due to the fact that I couldn't wait to get out of Baldwin High School...to leave all the high school drama behind...and the schoolwork...and all that crap...but now....when I think about how in a few weeks...I will have all of this work to do again...and all of this other stuff to deal with...it really scares me...I mean....besides going to travel camp and being away from home for a few days at a time...I've never been away for an extended period of time before...and I have to admit...I don't do anything for myself...I am spoiled in many ways although I hate to admit that....I make my bed occasionally....otherwise my mom does it....my mom does my laundry...I have never ever done it before...I don't really do anything for myself...which is why now I wish I was more self-sufficient...and I know little things like this will be a big adjustment for me....and then there is the whole issue of meeting new people...I love meeting new people...I really do...and I met some really cool people at orientation that I talk to all the time online...but I still wonder if I will ever be able to have the kind of relationship with them that I have with my friends now...I love my friends...I can laugh hysterically with them for hours over absolutely nothing...over little inside jokes that no one else would get...."Excuse me deary...let an old woman through!!"...lol..."Give me my bacon bitch!!"....I wonder if I will ever have jokes like these with the people I'm gonna meet in college....at the same time...I am excited to be on my own....the curfews my parents instill...my mom's consistant nagging about everything...I won't miss that...but I will miss my family....I just have very mixed feelings about everything....I just received this whole Welcome Week event schedule for the first week of school...and there are a lot of cool events that they have planned which seem like fun....I guess I'm just nervous....that's all...but I think everything will end up turning out good...
Today I picked up some little things that I needed for school...I went to National Liquidators with my mom...lol...got two picture albums...make-up applicator pads...and hair clips...I saw Al Jax...she heard me talking from a few aisles away...haha...my voice does project....I still can't find that long picture frame that I want with like 20 picture slots...all of the ones I've seen only have like 5...and the space to put the pic in is too small....then I went with my mom to look for a new dishwasher...because the new one has to be removed because it's leaking and doesn't work properly....I went to my cousin's house to go visit her...cause she just got a nose job...she's not too badly swollen...which is good...and you can already see an improvement in her profile...then I went to Sunrise Mall...Macy's...where I got a really nice Fossil messanger bag for school..and a beaded necklace.....
OOOO...I forgot to mention how much I love the keychain that Lara got me from her trip with my name on it....she got one for all the Hollereras....so sweet!!!
