Movin' Out
It's only been one month this time instead of six. Improvement. Anyways, I MOVE OUT IN FOUR DAYS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited, terrified, anxious, nervous, and slightly going crazy all at the same time(it may seem like the negative emotions are winning out here, but they're not, I promise). I have NO idea what life is going to be like for the next few months, and that is definitely an intimidating thing. But I feel like if I look at it as an adventure, and move forward with the Lord on my side (and with a little help from my friends) (yes that was a Beatle's reference), I'll pull through pretty okay.
We've been packing up all my things, and BOY do I have a lot of junk. Not much clothing, very little shoes, but art I did back when I was five? Yeah. I have it all. It's been a pain in the butt finding everything and getting it all collected into one space. Good thing I'm leaving most of it here at home! There is for SURE not enough room for all of my 9th grade homework assignments in my new apartment.
It's starting to hit me that I'm not going to be at home really any more for the rest of my life... My dad and I just had a talk the other night while he was grilling burgers, and we both ended up just giving each other a big hug and crying because I won't be hanging out with my parents after work, going grocery shopping with my mom, or eating dinner every night with my family anymore! I am going to miss it SO MUCH!!! And so will they I think (I hope...). At least the house will be quieter without me :) Hopefully Betty will help make up for the lack of family that I'll be experiencing in my life (did I mention that Betty is going to be my roommate? Well, she is)!
Betty and I are moving in to apartment 3113 in the Hinckley building at Helaman Hall on BYU campus!! I can't wait to live with one of my best friends. I think we'll be good for each other! I told her I'd promise to help her study (she's going to apply for the nursing program) if she promises to help me exercise (heaven knows I need it)!!! I've got a pretty nice class schedule, since I don't have anything before 11:00, and I have absolutely no class on Tuesdays. That should give me plenty of time to keep up with my studies, work, and hopefully make some new friends! (Dates maybe?) The class I'm most excited for? Beginning jazz dance. It'll be great to get some help with my awkward dance moves... The class I'm least excited for? American heritage. I've heard nothing about groans and complaints about it from EVERYONE I've talked to who already goes to the Y. It's alright. At least I'm getting it over with, right? I also have two English classes (I'm thinking that I'll be majoring in English teaching, which I'm really excited for), a voice class, physical science, and Book of Mormon. I think it'll be good! Hopefully not too challenging, since I really just want to get my foot in the door and figure out how the whole living out on my own/fending for myself thing works :) I'll let you know how that goes.
I just bought my books today, and talk about a chunk of change!!! Woo wee! Life is so expensive, it's stupid. Basically I will be paying off student loans for the rest of my life... it's fine. I just hope it'll all be worth it in the end!
I'll let you know how it goes when I officially move out next Wednesday, and if anything exciting happens before then!! Pray for me probably so I don't die at my first week of college!! :) Love you all!
Over and out.

You're pretty neat. Also I live in your hall. So we're basically sisters now? Second cousins?
