College Life

Okay, so I've been here a week now... I came early for a program called Late Summer Honors and took the class Molecular Biotechnology. Okay, I definitely realized just how good of an education I got at Westwood. We had done the exact same labs in AP Bio just without all the expensive stuff. The weirdest part about the whole thing was throwing everything away. I felt so wasteful. Back at Westwood we had to wash every little test tube out and sterilize stuff with fire. Excellent. It was fun although very demanding/ stressful. I did homework every single minute that I could and still couldn't finish all the assignments. It was a good learning experience though and I'm glad I did it 'cause it got me on campus earlier so I know my way around and I got into the whole "school" mode.

Ashley and I moved into the dorm on Saturday night.

Okay to clarify: Ashley, Michelle and Erin are my second cousins. Our grandma's are sisters. Suzanne is my Dad's sister on the other side of the family.

So Ashley and I were suppossed to be roomates, but then we found out that they didn't do that and we're just apartment-mates. Her reaction: she was happy/ didn't really care. That was a huge slap in the face. When the people that you're living with don't really want to live with you. That hurts.

Anyhow, Saturday night Jessica (Suzanne's daughter making us cousins) came a rescued me because I had nothing. No bedding, no pillow, no nothing 'cause all my stuff was at Suzannes and she couldn't bring it to me until Sunday. So, Jessica rescued me which was a pleasant suprise and I spent the night in her apartment. The next day Suzanne and Janae brought me all my stuff and I moved in for good. I love them so much!

Wednesday Lauren who is Michelle's friend moved in along with Michelle. Lauren is my direct roommate. She seems really nice and cool although she is extreemely beautiful. I don't feel like I belong though 'cause they all have their friends and they're cousins so they're pretty close. And they're just about the direct opposite of me. They're really outgoing and talkative so I kinda tend to get forgotten. And I feel like I can't be myself around them. I'm just kinda there and they don't really want me living with them.

I finished my Late Summer Honors program on Wednesday; we didn't have a final which was EXCELLENT. My paper wasn't very good though... oh well. Thursday new student orientation started so I've been doing that. I miss my LSH class... all of the stupid boys and the crazy labs. I was crowned the "pharoh" of transformations. Excellent.

Classes start Monday, and I realized today that I'm signed up for a class that I haven't taken the prerequisite for. I'm screwed. So yes, life's crazy. I miss everyone like crazy. I miss the laughter, the smiles, the memories. Yesterday I cried myself to sleep while reading my yearbook. Thank you for everyone who understood me! I love and miss everyone!
