Day One.

Wow. Today was the start to my crazy new life here, and it was definitely that - CRAZY! Allow me to elaborate.. The day included: awkward get to know you games, friendship bracelets, saying your name, hometown, and major 100,000,000 times, eating amazing chicken kiev, getting told laniards aren't meant to be worn around your neck, becoming an officially "pinned" Bennie, meeting up with the nuns.. the list could go on. Overall it has been exhausting. However, it's also exciting. Without the feelings of insecurity and craziness I think that I would never expand from where I am now. This gives me a little comfort when I walk around with an invisible sign that says "FRESHMAN" written on my forehead. Wait.. it's not invisible, I have to wear a damn name-tag everywhere I go. Not awkward at all. It can only get better from here! 

Even though I do feel quite all over the place at the moment, there is one thing I know for sure: the goals and expectations of this school are more than amazing. While they are challenging, it sparks an inner fire within me to push myself to a new level - to be a better and more refined me. They do not just ask you to be leaders in this community, they expect you to fill the position. The faculty, RA's, and even the nuns are standing behind me, fully expecting me to become whomever I believe I want to be. I love that! I want to be so much better than the person I am now - academically, spiritually, and emotionally - and they're here to make sure that happens. Cool. With that said, Wednesday's classes should be interesting. I might now have any time to actually write this new blog.. So if you don't hear from me I'm just off conquering the world thru my economics, accounting, theo, and FYS classes. 

Well that's all the deep lingo I've got for tonight.. here's a few pictures of my dorm to suffice. Pictures are worth a thousand words right? Nailed it.




Oh yeah and here's me BEFORE I unhealed a car load of stuff in 90 degrees. Happy move in day!
