Its been a while....

So I thought that by having a blog I would be able to keep up with things and write on it all the time...but I was wrong. Sorry. But I'll keep trying to post updates of my life as often as I can - because I'm sure you are all interested in my life! : )
So far (since the last blog) classes have started. They are all really great! I love my professors - except my Christian Life, Faith, and Ministry professor is a little intimidating - but we'll see where it goes. I have had a lot of reading so far ( 100 pgs. of psych! ) and I had my first quiz last week. My theatre dance class is interesting, yet fun. We've been working on "body isolation" where we only move certain parts of the body and we have been doing a lot of stretching. I have no rhythm and I definitely can not dance! Lets just say that today while "shimmying" our chest and shoulders, I looked pretty awkward and moving my butt around in a circle didn't look so great either! This will definitely not be something I will demonstrate to all of you back home! But I hope that by the end of the class I will be able to dance in some way! Im also taking a Relationships writing seminar which is really interesting. I was a little worried about the class at first, but now I really like it. (I have an autobiography due on Fri...I still haven't started!)  
So far, I've perfected the act of procrastination but I'm quickly learning that staying up until 3 in the morning, trying to get my reading and work done, isn't such a good idea! Im trying to break this bad habit...so far it's not going too well!
I finished decorating my room! I still want to put more pictures and maybe posters up on the walls because some are kind of bare, but it's good for now! I realized I have a lot of pink and I don't know if my roommate really appreciates my color choice : ) But at least my stuff matches (for the most part)! I'll have to post pictures of my room! I think that no matter what, there will always be room for improvement and it will be a work in progress! It's fun decorating!
This is sort of my life so far. I really can't think of anything else now. I really love it here and miss you all. I'll try to write some more later...maybe...! I hope all is well! Until next time...

No more parents!

Today was my first day without my parents. They actually left yesterday afternoon, but today was the first day when they weren't actually here! In a way it's kind of exciting, but I also miss them a lot. Not having them here has made me think: no more mom doing my laundry, buying things I need, cooking me dinner, helping me make decisions...nope...I must become independent! It's a scary thought now knowing that Im responsible for myself and that Im beginning my life for myself, and not for my parents (if that makes sense...?) Even though it's scary, it's also exciting because Im growing up. It's weird not having them around, wondering where Im at or when Im coming home - but mom still calls to see what Im doing and making sure Im okay (like most mothers who have just sent their kids off to college!) So, as my first day without the 'rents...it went pretty well and I had so much fun socializing and getting to know new people. Until next time...Love you all!
