Vacation Comes to an End
well, vacation is all done, but atleast it was awesome. I spent the first few days just cleaning the house and getting ready for Monadnock. Friday came and I literally became sick because I was so stressed about the Gordon/UConn thing. I cried the most insanely strong cry ever. I got to the church parking lot and almost turned back right until we got into the cars. But thanksfully I didn't.
But anyways, so I was on my way. I got to Monadnock and I was feeling a little out of place since it was my first adult's retreat and I was still only 18. I quickly got into Monadnock mode and just enjoyed the weekend so much. I made friends with most of the men from my church and it was just such a good way to spend my birthday weekend. I climbed the mountain for the second time as well, so that was nice and healthy of me. It was great, and yes, I got the entire camp to sing happy birthday to me. :)
I got back and my family came up from Florida, bringing with them the newest member of the family: Tyson. He's so incredibly cute and funny. It was good to see them and I really miss having them around. My brother came home on Wednesday and that was awesome because I miss him a lot more than I think he notices.
Monday, however, was the peak of the week for me. I woke up just so incredibly nervous as we drove towards Gordon. I ended up getting guarenteed housing, an amazing package for financial aid, and then came the big test: the track team. It was a little awkward at first but then we got talking and it was so much fun. I think I will like Gordon no matter what because of the track team. So I went home at least at ease.
Thanksgiving and Black Friday went great, got some shopping done.
Friday night the entire yg got together and went to see Stranger Than Fiction, followed by Friendly's, where Roody broke my nose. lol Saturday was great too, saw all my high school friends for the most part. lol I am so friggin behind in sleep its not funny though. Me and Josh were up till like 5:04 I think talking. Anyways, I feel good about things.
My mission this week: go to all classes and catch up in psych. period.
