College Bound

First weekend at college! WoohooO! All went really well- with the exception of a crappy computer no wireless card or way to get online. That was a bit sucky. I’m missing everyone already and will try to get emails out about my new phone number and addy so I can get pretty packages and calls. Because I’ve been lonely as hell. Har I actually called my mom this morning to tell her good morning. Yea I know- pathetic, especially considering I didn't tell her good morning when I lived with her, usually I said something like "Turn off the fucking light" and rolled over to go back to sleep. I walked down a little to early today, I've got about an hour to kill before class, I still don't have any of my books but bah I dunno what I'll do.

Friday Mom and I had Chinese, watched Third Watch and that new Medical Investigation show thingy. I couldn’t sleep most of the night; finally about four I gave it up and got up to finish packing and to check my email. We managed to fit everything in Moms car, but I couldn't for the life of me get a hold of Lesley. I called her like three times this weekend, maybe four. We headed over to the dorms about noon on Saturday. We got everything dropped off at the room, did a room check, then headed to Boise to take my pants back. Once all of that was out of the way, we went to Fashion Bug, they were having a huge sale, and I ended up getting two new shirts and some other stuff for my room.

When I finally got back and set to unpacking everything, I did it without Mom because having her there was just too hard. As bad as it is sometimes, it finally dawned on me; I can’t just run home and hide on my computer. When life gets rough I have to deal with it. That’s a really hard truth to swallow. I left my door open, and Willow who lives down the hall came by, then later a girl named Jennifer, who lives like right above me. After she left not a lot else happened, watched Adult Swim, went to bed, woke up the next morning at like 9, no one was around so I called Mom to see what she was doing, I had to get online at some point and none of the labs over here were opened, so she came to get me, took me to Denny’s for breakfast, then home so I could get the rest of my stuff, cuddle the kittens who we’re calling Swee’Pea and Squeaky Lola, and then to her classroom to get my schedule.

We ran to Albertsons too. In and of itself it’s not all that interesting- but we ran into my step grandmother Maxine. She was with Pattie and Pattie’s grandbaby. When she saw me her eyes just lit up and I thought I might suffocate from the hug she gave me. It felt almost like she didn’t want to let go. She told me she was going to call Katie tonight and brag about who she got to see. It was so cute. I was really worried for the longest time that because of whatever weirdness there was between me and Dad that it would effect the relationship I have with everyone else, but she’s really proven she doesn’t care that its “step” I’m still her granddaughter no matter what.

I was back at the dorm by 4, moved in my last box, chilled listening to music for awhile, tried to call everyone under the sun that I still had numbers for (Except of course Tristin), no one was answering. So I called Trinity, she and Jess came by, dropped me off at Weese- we had a Residency meeting and BBQ last night, at which point I met like one more person. Her name’s Kadie- is that not the cutest way to spell it? Anyway, she’s really sweet, she just graduated, her parents moved her from Southern Cali two months before her senior graduation, and she doesn’t know anyone here. She lives like two doors down from me, and gave me a ride back to the dorms, I helped her move some stuff from her car then she had to run all the way back to Emmett- which is like an hour drive, to get her fan.

I called Mom- I’ve probably talked more to her in three days then I had in two years. >_<, tried to call Aunt Carol- she took Uncle Everett to the Emergency Room for chest pains and trouble breathing last night. She didn’t answer, so I took a shower- which was an interesting experience in and of itself. Then when I got back to the room my phone was ringing, it was Crystal; we talked for like an hour about absolutely nothing. We’re going to meet up some time tonight but I’m not sure when because I have class till 8:30.

xoxo SJ at 7:34 PM.
