So, This year I spent Thanksgiving at Craig's house, and I was pleasantly surprised at how relaxing it was and how much I enjoyed it.

So I'm doing much better than I was when I last posted. I am slowly making friends and Craig came to visit me and that was really nice. I feel confident now that he will still visit me here. Before this visit I wasn't convinced that he would, despite him telling me he would. I think that now though I'm sure he will and its helping a lot. I am ( Read more... )

So I am now at Purdue University, which is great. I love the school, my living arrangements couldn't be better and my professor is awesome. I've been walking everyday around the area trying to learn every nook and cranny. I've been off mountain dew now since my trip to the beach when I had one. I' m feeling healthy, I've been eating really well ( Read more... )

So I graduate from honors tommorrow and Clarkson the day after that, and I can't sleep. I'm somewhere between nervous dread of going home and excitement at my achievements and my future. I really dont know whats going on but I know my stomach has been doing gymnastics all night ( Read more... )
