Missing Home

So in my last post I said something about not living in a place like Blue Springs, but that doesn't mean I don't miss it and don't want to visit. I can't wait to go home for a weekend and see my hometown. Blue Springs will always be home to me. I'm missing home more now than I have been lately. I know that I'll be home soon enough and not want to come back to Chicago, but I know that this is where I'm ment to be and where I'll learn major life lessons. I can't wait to see my family and friends when I go home. I want to see Roscoe and baby Zoey.

School has been alright. Mid-terms this week, I think its crazy I've been here for over a month, it feels like not that long ago school started up. I've made some good friends up here that help me get through my boring nights and weekends. Right at this moment I'm trying to decide whats for dinner its taking forever to decide what we want. Hard choices at college right here. I think I'm going to study until I make up my mind.

WOW! Its been a month

I can't believe thats its been a month since I moved here. This weekend was a blast, Ryan got his blue pass for this weekend so he got to spend the night. On Friday we went to go see ZombieLand, which is amazing by the way, and then just talked for a bit before we went to the movie. Yesterday we walked around the city a little bit and got lost last night. We went to Reckless Records, which is like a Half Price books without the books, and found Willow and almost bought it but instead I got Blood and Chocolate because Ryan wanted to see it. Then we had an early night because I'm missing out on a lot of sleep. This morning I made buscuits and gravy, which wasn't the best but was good enough to remember home, and then he left and I worked on homework and one of my papers thats due in a couple weeks, its about Tarragon, oh so exciting. All in all this wasn't an exciting weekend, but I did put up some more pictures in my room to make it more homey. Thats about it. No pictures this week sorry.

Peace and Love

Week Two

So week two was so much easier than week one. Last night was an adventure. We tried to go to Buffalo Wild Wings and guess what? A pipe burst yesterday afternoon and so it was shut down. We walked aroung the north side for 30 minutes at 10 pm to find a place that was serving food and would let people under 21 in because it was all sports bars. It was crazy but is a crazy story to tell. I also got the package from my mom yesterday so I can finally use my camera. So I'll be putting more pictures up from last night and the building project that we took on a while ago. It feels like I've been here forever but I love it here. I don't think that I would be able to live in a place like Blue Springs ever again. I've already lost some weight because my pants all fit differently. I've made a bunch of food here. I made cakes with my cousin, Ryan, last saturday. They were so good. I used the red cups that my sister bought me. I loved how cute they were. I think I just found a trade mark! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been busy. I've made a ton of new friends and our apartment is the hang out place for a bunch of people. Its so weird, but cool at the same time. I've been every friendly to a bunch of people, my friend, Tim, told me he was going to make a list of everyone I say Hi to in the halls. Its a lot of people but I know it makes people happy when someone says Hi to them when they are having a rough day. Caryn and I are now rooming together. She and I get along really well so it was a good change. Well now I have to leave to go get my darn phone fixed because I'm having issues. So I'll leave you with some pictures.
