FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!!!! As of today, I'm legal! The big 1-8! I am finally 18! Yay! XDXDXDXD. I actually thought that today was going to be no different from yesterday or today, except for the fact that it happened to be the anniversary of the day I was born on. How wrong I was. Sure, most of the day was normal. I had classes to go to mixed in with studying and homework. However, as the day continued there were little things that made today special. My RA decorated the door of my dorm room. My roommate decorated my side of the room while I was away at a class. I lost track of the number of people who uttered the phrase, "Happy Birthday!", to me. The kicker was when I came back from synchro practice to find that a few girls from the floor had baked a cake and almost the whole floor had turned out to sing "Happy Birthday" to me. When going to a new place, I always have fears about being accepted and being liked. I often feel like I'm not good enough or that it's too hard to interact with people. College was no different. I spent most of the summer getting anxious about it. Was I going to make friends? Was I going to be accepted? Would I find my niche, the place that I was supposed to be? Today showed me that I am not as lost and confused as I thought I was. I have friends, people who like me. I have begun to carve out a place for me. I am happy and proud to be part of such a close-knit floor. Guys, if you are reading this, thank you so much for everything in the not-quite-two-weeks that we have gone through. I hope the rest of the year will be just as awesome.

 Today was the first synchro practice for the collegiate team. It was so hard, but yet so awesome! We started out with drills, which I couldn't do all of, but that's ok. The second half was spent learning the program. It was definitely harder and faster than any synchro I've done before, but I think I was able to keep up fairly well. I'm gonna get sooooo much stronger this year, I can't wait. Although, it's gonna be really hard. I'm in so much pain right now. I'm sore all over.....

     Classes started today! I had three out of the five I'm taking today. First was Math (Pre-Calculus) which was incredibly boring because I took the same class last year. If you haven't heard the story by now basically what happened is that I signed up for Pre-Calc because I didn't think that what I took last year was Pre-Calc cause it was called something different. Anyways, I'll just take Calc during the winter session (since I gotta be here anyways cause of skating) or during the spring semester.
     My second class, Russian, was actually easier than what I expected. Athough, we learned half the alphabet today. It's definitely gonna get harder. Oh goody. The Russian teacher is awesome though. I didn't have linguistics today because today was when the discussion class was scheduled and, being that it was the first day, there was no discussion to be had. I still had to walk 20 minutes in the hot sun to get over there just to sign my name on a piece of paper saying that I was there. Needless to say, I was not happy...... T_T
     I did most of my homework when I got back and hung around the dorm for the rest of the day. I checked my email like 14 times and was on Facebook like 23 different times...... XD

OMG today was so much better than yesterday. So, we had the freshmen welcoming ceremony today and to get to where we were going to have it they crammed us into a shit-load of buses. On the way back while waiting for the bus I ended up making conversation with this girl. It turns out she likes anime just like me! OMG YAY! We actually ended up spending pretty much the rest of the day together after hooking up with one of her friends. I got my books for my classes (except for the math book. Its a custom edition and it's back-ordered; no one has it yet) and we walked all the way down main street and back (it was like 1.5 or 2 miles, my feet are killing me.) Tonight I went to the Sports Activities Fair to sign up for carpooling for synchro. Today was sooooo much better. ^_^

Well, tonight sure was a roller-coaster. So, there was a movie playing tonight in Central campus (300) that I wanted to go to. I was gonna go with some people after I took a shower. So I get out of the shower and go back to my dorm room. Kelsey was kind enough to force me into some clothes and jewelery that actually looked pretty good. ^_^Anyways, she was getting ready to go out somewhere with a bunch of boys from our floor. They left and I went looking for the girls that I was gonna go to the movie with. They had already left. I was like....... T_T Like, I almost started crying because here I was left behind the only one in the door dressed up with no place to go. I didn't want to walk all the way to the movie by myself at night. After feeling sorry for myself for a while (I'm good at that XD) I ended up calling one of my friends. Amazingly enough, she wasn't at the movie. She was actually in her dorm room because she was feeling slightly sick due to allergies. So I went to visit her. We ate Lucky Charms and talked about stuff for two hours. Eventually I went back to my dorm room and after I called my mom and talked for a while, Kelsey came back. She invited me into one of the rooms where people were hanging out, or maybe I followed her, but I left pretty soon because there was some drinking going on in the room and I was kinda uncomfortable. Kelsey came back to the room after me and we actually ended up talking it out about how I felt about tonight and stuff (I cried in front of her, I'm so embarrassed) and about some of the insecurities I have about college and stuff. (She should seriously consider being a psychologist.) She says she was glad we had this talk. I'm so glad we did too. It definitely helps to strengthen the relationship we're trying to create as room-mates. Anyways, after that the whole floor eventually trickled in and a bunch of us met in one of the rooms. Drunk people are amusing.

    Sooooo...... I'm here........at college..........it's hot. XP Really hot actually. Yesterday was hotter though, which sucked cause it was move-in day. Yay, lets carry heavy boxes full of stuff up 2 flights of stairs in the 100 degree humid weather. Real fun. Anyways, I was like the last one to move in yesterday because I had to drive all the way down from freaking Massachusetts. We left at like 7 AM and didn't get here until 3:30 PM. My roomie had been here since like 9 in the morning. >_< Anyways, as soon as I dumped my stuff it was time to go to dinner with the rest of my floor. I didn't get to unpack or anything. Everyone was.....nice,  I made some friends I guess. After dinner (at like 4:30, who eats dinner at 4:30???) we had a bunch of different meetings, with the whole building, with the floor, etc. Then was this huge welcoming party/fair thing. I went with a couple of other girls to see the comedy and hypnotist shows. They were fun. Went to bed at like 2 AM.
    This morning I went shopping for some stuff with my parents and brother before they took off, then went to a 3 hour seminar with my floor mates on diversity. It was extremely boring and pointless and I already see myself as open-minded, but whatever. Now I'm just sitting here typing. Most of my floor mates went to lunch and the bookstore. I have to go to get my books eventually, but I think I'll do that tomorrow. Right now I just wanna sit..... T_T

The fan feels sooooo nice........

GUESSSSS WHAT?????? I finally finally finally finally finally GOT MY BRACES OFF!!! 6 years of blood, sweat and tears are finally over! Just in time for college too....... >_> And my computer came back from being fixed today. YAY! I missed it soooo much! Blarg, computer withdrawal..... T_T. So yeah, most of today was spent crazily driving from one appointment to another. Most of them were dentist appointments but I also had a contact lens appointment. I'm thinking of getting colored contact lenses for Anime Boston 2008 next year and I need to get prescription ones. I tried out blue ones today but they made my eyes kind of a funky grey color. Sigh, to be cursed with dark eyes...... XD Not much else to say. Still getting ready for college. Only 3 days left...... ^_____________^
