Disclaimer: This is no ordinary post.

I know this is supposed to be to inform everyone what is new with me, how school is going, and what not, but I need to semi-vent while filling you all in.

I don't even know that anyone is reading this, so I could be talking to myself, here I go anyway.

I move into my dorm in about 9 days. I am really excited, but the road to this new beginning is a long, frustrating, annoying one. I have been trying to get a lap top for months ( I am fine using the family desktop for a few months, but I keep getting my hopes up on a lap top). Financially my family is not doing so well, and I understand it is not their fault, but this is just the perfect time for all of this to be happening. It is stressful. My money for school gets disbursed to the school on the 15th and the remainder will get put in my bank account, hopefully, a few days after that. That gives me really no time to do what I need to with the money (like buy my books, things for my dorm, etc.). And the topper on the cake, all 4 of my absolute best friends are moving away for college by the 22nd. So, I have plans to go out to dinner one last time and it is just a lot to handle. Even though I really have yet to get hit with the reality of it all. I kind of just wish I could fast forward a few months, so I can be settled in and used to my classes, have all I need, and can be moving on. Because, I am really excited about college, I am just having trouble expressing it with all else that is going on.
This is supposed to be, like I said earlier, where you can see how I am doing with school. Not a place for me to sing the blues. So, I must move on. To the positive at least.

I am going to Texas the 4-7th of September to visit my Aunt and Grandma! I am really excited about that. I cannot wait!!!!!! I will be sure to fill you all in on that!

Thank you for those who do read this and I love you all.

Bon Appetit
