College Part 2

What’s new with me? Let’s try just about everything!! I’ve been having kind of a crummy week. But I’ll tell you about what’s new with me. I moved into the Townhouse a while ago, it’s the LDS girl housing I’ve been talking about for awhile and it’s rather old but I absolutely LOVE my roommates!! Like there’s not a single one who annoys me or that I don’t get along with or that I can’t talk to. We’re already bosom friends!! (Anne of Green Gables, anyone?)

I’m doing okay in most of my classes, except that I just picked up a new history class so, I’m 3 days behind in class and the teacher moves VERY fast. I’m supposed to have read to page 81 in the textbook that I don’t have yet. Yeah. I feel swamped!!

I’m on the Ballroom Dance Team here, and SOMEHOW I’ve become Co-President… I already have to plan dances, retreats, student lessons, and tours… all on top of taking 18 credit hours. So I’m already feeling a lot of pressure and stress. I’m really thankful that I have a Co-President who when I can’t do something can pick up the slack and vice versa.

I auditioned for Arsenic and Old Lace and made callbacks, which is kinda a big deal… there were 40-ish girls auditioning for 3 parts. In the end it basically came down to me and this other girl and she got the part. I’m kind of thankful for that (of course I’m still sorta disappointed) because now I have time to get homework done and settle into college a bit before I’m 2x as busy.

Also something sad is I found out that a good friend from last year died in a motorcycling accident right before school started… he was only 22… it seems so unreal for people my age to pass away. It just doesn’t seem fair or real. He was a great guy, I remember one time I was at his apartment and I made the comment that I’d have to go home soon because I was pretty hungry and I needed to eat. Well Wes was making himself some food at the time. When he finished cooking he gave the entire meal to me, then he ran off to his class without eating. He was so funny and could always get anyone to laugh!! It just feels so unreal that sometimes I have a hard time believing it, but if I think about it for awhile, I get pretty sad about the whole thing.

Anyways… sadly that’s about it of my college experience thus far, although I will say that I went to a dance once with my laptop to use the internet, because I’m THAT awesome!!
