First Day

Today was my first day of college. My first class was Microbes at 8 am and then I had a two hour break and got my locker and an CTA Multi Pass. Then my next class was an Excel class. My Excel teacher rocks, she is so funny to listen to during lectures. I got some homework but not huge amounts.

Last night I went to Chilis with one of my RA's, John, Caryn, and my friend Hassani. It was so much fun. Its sad that John is going to be leaving in ten weeks. He is so much fun. He's obessed with Farmville on Facebook, when he came over after dinner he brought his Mac Air to plant new feilds. So funny.

Well time to get to the books!

Gino's

Yesterday was a blast. First I went to the school for orentation and meet a couple new friends, Aarron and Murphy. Then I came back to the dorms to put together some storage shelves for the pantry, aka the coat closet, and did the dishes. I went back to the school later to pick up my uniforms, books, and knife kit. After I got back Caryn and I finished the shelves because at first we didn't have the proper tools for building them so Caryn's mom brought some with her when she came up to buy Caryn's books. Then the RA's planned a dinner at Gino's East. That was so much fun. I meet some people from the dorms. After that a bunch of us ended up in Aaron and Nate's dorm playing spades, Madden, and Rock Band till midnight. I'm Sorry I don't have pics, I can't find the batteries I packed for my camera so you won't see them for a while.

Peace,

My Dorm

My Room

So this is the first look into what my room looks like for the next 3 years.

Three of us moved in today and we are trying to figure out how to store the food because the kitchen has no storage at all!

This is the tiny "kitchen" that we are going to be sharing. Not enough room for anything but we have Caryn's mom who is going to be setting up some storage for us.

 This is one of my roomies, Caryn. Her mom is going to help us out with organizing things in the kitchen

This is the living room we are all going to be sharing. That is my other roommate, Calla. She brought us a ton of food, thank you Calla's mommy. She is the only one of us that isn't in Culinary. She will help us all get in shape.  She wants to be a cop in the future.

Now here is the view from my room.

Well thats all for now. Promise to blog later.

About to leave

Tonight is the last night that I live in Blue Springs, MO. I'm going to be packing up everything in a van and driving up tomorrow. I know this isn't the last time I'll ever be sleeping in my own bed, but I know its the last time for a while. Its a bittersweet goodbye to Blue Springs, I never thought this day would come but it has. I know I'll be crying alot when my parents leave me in Chicago but my roomies already told me that they would be a mess as well so we will have our own pity party on wednesday night. People are telling me that I will be to busy to miss my hometown, but I know I will always think of Blue Springs and what I learned from all the wonderful people in this town. 

Sorry I'm not the best blogger but I hope I will get better. Ironicly I wanted to be writer at one time in my life...but then I realized that I can't write as well as I speak.
