Well, here we go...I haven't decided if getting a blog is
A. a sign of maturity
B. like going back to my middle school days of using Xanga....or
C. getting old and boring....
I'm not sure yet, but I'll continue it as long as I have time and as long as I enjoy doing it I guess. First my sisters had blogs and then my brother, then finally my mom...kind of sad that I get one after my mom, but at least I beat my dad. Hmm...that'll be the day.
Well, I'm sitting in Minnesota right now with one day before embarking on the next "chapter" of my life. I've been excited about this day for the last 4 years, and I've been waiting for that wave of dread to come over me, but it hasn't happened yet. Hopefully the optimism continues. We'll see what my posts look like when homework is in full swing and the newness has died down.
Mom and I drove up to Steph's(my sister's) house this afternoon with my car loaded to the top with clothes, a chair, books, backpack, shoes, laundry detergent, and a very traumatized pink beta fish named Willie. I'm generally a pretty optimistic person so the thought of Willie not surviving the trip never crossed my mind until we had got here, sat down to eat dinner, and I realized Willie was still sitting in a crockpot in the warming car. I ran outside and fortunately, he was still alive....swimming like he had gotten extremely seasick on the trip up, but nevertheless, swimming! Thank goodness I didn't have to experience his death... :/
Tomorrow we're going to the state fair where I'm sure I'll get a start on the freshman 15. Jeremy (brother-in-law), has convinced me that I'm going to love chocolate covered bacon, but I guess that's one thing that will have to be tried before I'm going to admit to liking. Sounds disgusting, but we'll see.
Well, I should probably get to sleep and try to get 'rid of these allergies or a cold that I've contracted in the last few days.
