Only a week and a half left of stupid dorm life.

After setting up this account 2 weeks ago, I have finally decided to grace it with my presence. I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to go about this or if some kind of introduction is necessary, but I have a lot of excitement and frustrations I would like to get out of my system tonight.

Basically it all boils down to moving into my new apartment next year! I'm going to be living with the lovely Cease family and honestly could not be happier :] Not only will I be surrounded by amazing people, but I will have my own space! I am a freshman at Blinn College and had to live in the dorms this year... it was a nightmare. I don't know what I was being punished for, but my suite mates and I ended up with the bathroom from hell. It overflowed on numerous occasions, once so badly that they evicted us from our room (without providing an alternative for the night). It was ridiculous. Even tonight I was involved in a war with our shower. I swear I spend twice as much time waiting for warm water and trying to get enough water pressure out to even make a stream than I do in the actual shower process. No, I am definitely not going to miss the bathroom at all.

I am also excited to have my own space. That's not really something I've ever appreciated until this year, where the only place I could carry on a quiet phone conversation was on the back porch of my dorm. I will be so relieved when I can nap or study without worrying about having random people in my room or having to deal with distractions like the tv or my room mate's phone conversations. It will also be nice to go to bed without listening to my suite mates shouting at each other and carrying on conversations about their sexuality (which is wayyyyyy more information than I'd like to know) until 2 in the morning. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against my room mate or suite mates personally. They're nice girls. But I am the kind of person who just needs my own peace and quiet sometimes, and I definitely don't get that here. The day I move out is going to be the best day of my life. Aside from the day I met John Allen Dirba, of course ;]

Even more than the relief I will have at my own space, I am excited to be surrounded by such an awesome family. I am going to become such a better person :] I've felt a difference in my life ever since I was introduced to my church family here in Brenham, and I can't wait to continue to grow in that. Not only am I going to learn helpful things like some possible tips on cooking and ways to quit procrastinating (which I desperately need), but I am going to be encouraged to continue growing in my faith, with plenty of help and guidance along the way. I feel so refreshed just thinking about it :]

So I guess I will close my first official blog entry! How exciting :] Sorry for the randomness and venting, but at least I broke the Blogger ice!
