Hello! I feel like I should re-introduce myself, I havent written in such a long time! Well, a lot has happened since the last time I wrote. For one, I have been living alone, without my parents for almost a month now. I have been doing really good! I was a little depressed the first week, but now I am so happy! I am loving my classes, and my roommate. I have also met a lot of new people, which is always fun. The reasoning for my lack of writing, is because I have so much homework! All of the time! Its ridiculous!! But, I am really loving life right now :)
As I type, it is raining outside, and the sun is shining through black clouds and hitting the red, yellow, and orange trees. Its quite lovely actually. The weather is definitely starting to cool down. A lot. I wore my rain boots today, which was fun! I love that when I walk to class, squirrels dart across the sidewalk ad the trees are changing colors! Its really beautiful!
I have successfully ridden public transportation to the mall! I feel so successful! I would actually feel a lot more successful if I had done it by myself, alone. But, I think that is a little too scary. There are some real creepy people that ride the bus!
I have yet to go to a football game!! :( The ducks are number 1 in the PAC 10! and number 2 in the nation! We are doing really good! It feels so good to finally be a part of a school with a WINNING football team! I was really getting tired of being a part of the losing team! Finally, we are winners :)
I love walking around my campus. It is so pretty. Gorgeous. Stunning. Lovely. Breathtaking. I could honestly go on all day! All of the buildings are made of brick, there is greenery everywhere. Seriously, its everywhere. There are over 400 types of trees on the campus ALONE. I think that is incredible!
I have fallen in love with coffee. I never thought it could be possible. But, there it is! My favorite place is Dutch Brothers, Their coffee is amazing and a half!
I currently have a cold sore on my tongue.....It is really sore, especially when I drink water hahaha
Well, I am thinking that this is all for now.... I have to go off to my Writing class!
(Oh, speaking of writing class, my teacher is really annoying! She has the most annoying high-pitched voice in the world and when she talks to you she's smiling and her voice is "happy" but she is yelling at you at the same time. Its so annoying!! Thank God its already the 5th week of school!!)
Oh, one more thing. I had a Philosophy midterm, and I get the results on Friday! And, I have another midterm on Thursday!!
Wish me luck!
Until.....later?

October 2nd, 2010
The last time I blogged, I was just a bored kid during the summer. Now, I am officially a University of Oregon student! I am writing this from my dorm, and It is currently 70 degrees inside. Outside, Id say its around 55-60 degrees. My roommate, Natalie is at the Blackout game tonight, so Im in my dorm with Megan watching movies. Hamilton has a "mini-blockbuster" where we can rent movies and games for free! So, we rented a bunch to keep us busy until Natalie comes back with Krystal. University of Oregon is playing Stanford tonight, and hopefully they'll win! Thats another thing about Oregon...Everyone is so spirited and the entire city of Eugene is a college city. Which, is so nice! I love that wherever I go around town, theres either a duck, and "O", or the school colors. Its really quite uplifting!
Saying goodbye to my mom was probably the hardest thing ive ever had to do. I did not want my mom to leave because then i would be alone. Even though i would have my roommate and Jenna...I wouldnt have my mom, who is the reason I live. She is what I live for, I love her so much. You could say Im a "mama's girl"...but it wouldnt be insulting, i would only agree :)
Once my mom left, I was a complete wreck. I dont think i was more depressed in my life. It sounds like im exaggerating, or like im a "big baby" because im an adult....but adjusting to life away from home is really hard! And to deal with it, I had to tell a lot of people to get their support. I had my roommate of course, and Megan, and Jenna...But then I also made friends with people in classes and told them too. And then I told my FA. Then I talked to my RA about it for a couple hours, which I found to be the most helpful, and Shes a really good friend now! And lastly, I talked to the lunch-lady. Yes, I did. It sounds weird, but its true! As I was paying for lunch or whatever it is i was eating, She asked how I was. And she was probably expecting, "Fine thanks, how are you?" But no. I replied, "Im homesick" And it wa really helpful! because she made me realize that everyone at college is in the same boat.
Starting my classes was also a huge help to getting over my sadness of being away from home. Once classes started I felt so much busier, and I was. Like, right now i really should be reading my 100's of pages, starting my handful of projects, and writing those essays. I have only been in school for 5 days and already I am swamped with homework. But, it IS college, and supposedly, it is HIGHER education. I guess that means its hard?
So, now it is 1am...me and Natalie just walked in the door. We were over at Carson's, which was amazingly fun. It is freezing cold outside, its like 50 degrees with a windchill. I, like a dumbass, was outside in a T-shirt and slippers. Theres still a party in my hallway, and people yelling outside. We ended up winning the game, which is awesome! The score was 52-31! Everyone is really happy. Really, really happy. Over-the-top happy, its almost unnecessary. But, it does feel really good to finally be a part of a school that wins for once, and is loved by the school!
Well, tomorrow is my homework day...since i waited all weekend to do it, and now is the only day to do since i go back to school on monday...I will try my best to blog everyday, but as you can tell...ive been quite busy! But, I promise you, I will try!
Until whenever I have time!
