Back to School Jitters

Hey everyone, I'm back again! It's been a while, and we need to catch up. I think yes. :)

Well, first off I would like to say that school is starting soon. At first I was not nervous at all, in fact, I was ecstatic for school to start. But now, I'm really getting nervous. I had to go to this orientation thing to get my schedule, and so I did. Well, I found out I couldn't get my schedule until the first day of school. So after having a heart attack I finally decided it was time I go and talk to my counselor. Luckily, we got it all solved and I now have my schedule. Here's what it is (thus far):
1) Tech Theater 1
2) Peer Coaching
3) Student Aide
4)College English 1301/1302
5) College Macroeconomics
6) AP Statistics
7) Entrepreneurship
It is likely to change though since I already have experience in technical theater. So that helped ease some nerves, but I still have no clue where any of my classes are and that's one thing that has me really worried.

Anywho. Little "bumps" have been stacking up on my road of life. Really, they aren't big deals individually, but when you combine them all together, they make life stressful. And I am not at all good at dealing with stress. So if I start ranting about something, don't worry too much. I'm okay, I just need time to process all of these little issues and then actually deal with them, if you get what I'm saying.

My friend count here is up to one. Which is always better than one. My good friend Madison B. knew a kid who lived here and Texas, and gave him my number and stuff, and we've been texting a lot and we've become good friends. We haven't actually met in person, seeing as he lives 3 and a half hours away from me. But still, one friend you haven't met is better than none at all, right?

So life has been going for me. I love it a lot better here than I did in Utah. I mean, sure I don't have anyone to hang out with, but I am confident that I will very quickly and easily make more friends once school starts, and that's part of the reason that I am excited for school to start. Yesterday at the orientation I was really nervous because everyone there had a friend group and friends to hang with and I was just kind of an "outsider." But today when I was getting my parking pass to park my car in the parking lot at school, I met some really nice girls. We talked to each other and stuff and so that helped a bit though it doesn't change the fact that I'm super nervous.

Anyways. That's all I got for today! I'll post again net week, so be ready! ;)

What a Life....

Well, here I am again! I don't think that this post will be nearly as lengthy but we'll just have to see I guess!

So, last Monday, I got all registered for school and I got to put in my schedule request! I was super stoked to get that all put in mainly because I requested to be put into Stage and Tech Crew. That means that I get to go back to working on Sound and Light Boards and building sets! Guys, I don't think you understand how much I missed that; I cried for a few nights because of how much I missed it. Even if I'm stuck starting at Stage Crew level 1, I am just grateful that I get to go back into it. I am certain that I will love it there.

After that not a whole lot happened. I was talked into getting a bikini. I'm not that comfortable with my body so I'm still trying to get used to seeing myself with such a lack of clothing on. Heck, these short shorts that I've been wearing are still something that I'm trying to get used to. But they're a necessity in this 100°+ weather. And even with those and my tank tops, I still sweat like a pig.

Tyler got his phone taken away until he gets a job and that kind of blows. I'm really used to looking down at my phone every minute or so and responding to a text that was typically from him, but there's nothing there. I kind of feel like we're drifting apart. Maybe we aren't, I hope we aren't, but I kind of feel that we are. With our busy schedules, talking to each other is really hard. I don't know, we'll just have to see what happens. I have confidence that we will work something out, but in the meantime I eagerly await his next email!

I received my first package from my mother! Nothing too exciting in it, really. I mean, unless you count perfume, an SAT book, and a picture exciting, then I guess it would be exciting, but that was about it. I miss my parents like crazy, but I'm sure glad to be out of Utah, and I honestly wouldn't have my life any other way. I hated Utah, but I'm so glad that I was able to get out of that state. I'm much happier where I'm at and I wish that I could have discovered this great state earlier.

Well, the last thing I can think of is the fact that today is my Dad's birthday! Happy Birthday Dad! you're quite the father to me, and I miss you like crazy! I hope that your birthday was great! Here's to the greatest dad in the whole world!

Like I said, short update, so I guess that's it! See you all! Have fun with life, I suppose!
