  • So, now that I've told you how my experience at Bryan has been, do you wanna hear how my trip over was?? Well, even if you don't, I'm going to tell you anyways.

    It's a three hour trip coming over, 3 1/2 if you go a "longer" way that isn't curvy and prevents you from getting sick. So, we went the long way, because, even though I don't get "car sick", I'll get some pretty nasty headaches going around those curves. BUT---there's always a but---it took us closer to 4 hours, I think, and here's the reason why:

    My car, although pretty, is pretty junky, when it comes right down to it. :-/ Before I left Franklin, I was having problems with it just dying---I lost all power, had to pull over the side of the road, turn off the car before it completely died, and restarted it. Well, we took it into the repair shop, and the guy found a frayed wire and fixed it. Or so we thought.

    My car died about 10 times coming over here!!! It was absolutely awful! Every time it happened, all the power would basically shut down---I couldn't use the gas---and I would have to pull over to the side of the road. For almost 30 minutes it seemed, I had to do that. I would lose power every 2 to 5 minutes. No joke, no exaggeration!

    So, I guess, I'm gonna have to take it into the shop here somewhere to get it fixed. :-p Not looking forward to that, but I really can't go on "long" trips with that car; it would be nice to have it repaired before I went home sometime!

  • Ok, so, guess what?!! Right now I am at Bryan College...my "new home" as my mommy likes to put it. I've been here about 2 days, give or take a little. I've already made some pretty awesome friends, and they really are friends, I can tell. They won't abandon me when things get too hard or sticky, like people have in the past. So, yah, basically, I'm pretty excited about that. Heeheehee.

    I have two roommates, Jandi and Megan. They're both really awesome! We are all alike in personalities, so we get along together really well. I will have to take a picture of my room and roomies and muah, and post the pics on here so you guys can get a picture of my new home.

    It's really nice. Everyone is so much different...if anything, I think when you graduate high school, you should get out of your town, if it's only for a year. It will make a huge difference in your thinking, and way you live, and everything! I mean, I've only been here 2 days and I can already see how different [in a GOOD way] the people are from the people of Franklin; they genuinely care about you and how you're doing. They're not like, "How are you doing?" but have that glazed look like they could care less. LOL.

    When I first got here on Saturday, we went through everything, registration and check in and whatnot. And then we pulled my car around to my dorm to unload everything. The only problem was that I was on the 3rd floor. So, Daddy grabbed my fridge, Brian my microwave, and Mama and I both loaded up our arms; I left the doors and trunk open, cause I knew we'd be right back down, and I really couldn't shut any of it. So, we come back down, and 9 or 10 sophomores, juniors, and seniors had converged on my car, grabbed everything up from it, and proceeded to take it up to my room! I was so shocked; it was so sweet, and I mean it was like 100 degrees----no joke! It was nasty! But I just never expected that, especially after my experiences in Franklin. So, my one piece of advice is:

    Get out of Franklin for a year!!!!
    [even if you don't go to college----GET OUT!]

  • You wanna hear something shocking?? In less than four days, I will be headed towards a new adventure called college. Scary, huh?? I'm pretty nervous. But excited, too.

    I've made alot of new friends on facebook, and that has really helped. We are all nervous about what is coming up, how this big event will affect our lives. This group has been such an encouragement. We've been able to talk to each other, how we are feeling, what we are going through, pray for each other...it has really helped to ease some of the burden of going blindly into college without knowing anyone. Or so it seems to so far. We shall see on Saturday.

    I personally am pretty much everywhere emotionally. I'm realllly ready to be leaving this town, and all these bad emotions, and to be moving on...to a place where I am finally accepted, where I can start over, and where there are people who will encourage me and push me in God's direction! But oh my gosh am I scared!!! I will be leaving everything I've known for the past 10 years, everything that's familiar, and be going somewhere totally foreign, where I haven't really met anyone!!!! Yeah, I guess I am freaking out a little, but I'm allowed!

    I know I'll make it though; I think Saturday is going to be one of the hardest, but Sunday definitely the hardest---because then my parents will be gone, and I will be all alone. Well, not really alone, but alone. I know you guys know what I mean. But I'm ready. And I'm not. So we'll see what happens.

  • Ahhhh!!! I am so frustrated!! life can be so crappy.....why?!?! I understand the logic, the reason as to why life is crappy, but it's just so.....FRUSTRATING!!!

    I mean, when something goes wrong, ok. But when things keep happening, one after the other.....it's depressing and frustrating, and upsetting. What do you do when it seems that Satan is bound and determined to smash you and your family into the ground?? When things go wrong one after the other, over and over again, and you can't draw a single breath---to take a moment and analyze what is going on.

    I don't know, life is just so drepressing and confusing right now.

  • Ok, so, basically, in about 4 1/2 hrs I'm gonna be headed off to Panama City Beach, Florida, baby!!!!!!! Woo hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! I'm pretty much excited, though not looking forward to getting up at 2:00 in the morning. But oh well. As long as I can lay on the beach and look at cute guys, then the little sacrifice of sleep is fine by me. LOL.

    Ok, so, I'm gonna go. Love you all.
