Welcomed Home

   I moved out of my house and into my college dorm yesterday. My dorm is cozy, and honestly not completely horrible. I've got it decorated pretty nicely and the wifi thus far has no complaints. One thing I was super worried about was my roommate, and I did not get to meet her until yesterday evening.

  Her name is Becca and she is from Brazil. She got tuition scholarships, and this is her second time in the US. She is really kind, and brought me some chocolate from her home. I think that we could be pretty good friends, and I do not really see any problems that may arise.

   So really, almost all of my stresses were sated tomorrow because I am completely registered, have my student ID, fitbit, parking pass as well as all of my books. Now, all we have left really is classes and those start on Thursday.

 One thing I have picked up on is that I am not going to be able to work much at all. I have classes during the mornings and on several nights there are mandatory meetings. How do some people manage to work a lot while in college? I want to enjoy myself and make friends and do things but it seems like I'll have classes, and then work and that's about it. If only this place was not so expensive.

  Here is to a good year of growth and learning,

   later.

   Deciding to take a degree in writing was something I did not think I would ever do. I would consider myself pretty realistic as a person, and honestly writing is a horrible degree/ career choice just because it is hard to make a living as an author, (which of course, is what I want to do,).

  Mostly, I am hoping that with this as my starting point I will discover what I've been called to do, because genuinely, I do not have a real goal to strive for. A dream of mine is to publish a book, obviously, but with a lack of creative juice these past several years and a lack of motivation to mostly anything does not add up well.

But, I've always been bad at math so we will see.

  Here is to these next few years opening doors and showing me opportunities I did not even know existed.
