One year later...
On this day exactly one year ago I was moved into my dorm at school. Today however, I am sitting at home packing. No freshman orientation for me this year. Still though, I'm almost as nervous as I was last year. Things will be different this year, obviously. I'm not living with the same people, Katie is all the way across the highway, life will be different. I'm hoping that everything will be just as grand as it was last year though. Megan said to me this weekend, "I don't think I've ever seen someone love college as much as you!" Hahah...I think that's probably true. I'm the happiest when I'm at JMU! I just cannot wait to go back! Plus, I get my MAC Powerbook on Saturday! AHHHHH! That makes me soooo happy!
Packing is kind of the pits though. I feel like I'm forgetting everything. Oh well...I'm going to miss my family and my house too again. You get used to them when you live with them for a couple months. I forgot what it's like living on my own! I'm sure I'll adjust rather quickly this time though. Of course, I will miss my friends too and my GAPettes! Other than that, Lynchburg doesn't hold much for me.
This summer has been one of the best of my life though. My job was pretty kick ass. My friends and I did soooo much fun stuff! This was the first year where we were actually creative with our activities. Strange, I know! It wasn't just movies and ice cream all the time. My sister's wedding was the most fun/beautiful thing ever! It was just perfect. I love summer!
I am looking forward to school though. Getting back into the grind of things. Getting back to UREC and playing racquetball. SO EXCITED! It's been way too long since I played. Plus, I won't have to answer to anyone but myself. I can do what I want, when I want to do it. I think that's the best part of school, you live by your own agenda. Not that my parents have ever been overly strict or anything, I just like complete freedom!
On a side note...not really a side note, more like a HUGE note...my aunt has been diagnosed with Stage 4 uturian (sp?) cancer. Pretty much the worst case scenario that we could ask for. Really sad...it's incurable, but they are going to try to put it into remission. They aren't talking days or months or anything, the doctors are talking in years right now. It's just so sad because she is only 42 years old. She has such a kind heart and doesn't deserve this. Unfortunately, all of this comes back to her weight. She was too embarassed to go see a gyno because of her weight. Had she gone, they would have caught this a lot sooner and she probably wouldn't be in this situation right now. But we can't talk about "what if's", it is what it is and we just have to deal with it one day at a time.
I guess I don't have much else to update. I've got to go finish putting my life into bags.
