Starting College

Well, I'd have to say that this week has probably been one of the hardest weeks of my life. I don't think I ever realized how much I truly love our family and every person in it. Haha I definitely did not think that leaving would be as hard as it was. I haven't had too much homesickness this week just because I've been pretty busy and also because i think I knew I would see everyone at the Hendrickson Reunion. By the time it was time to say goodbye though, it was pretty difficult. It's hard not to have your mom and dad there for you every second to tell you what to do and to help you and give you hugs when you need them. I'm sitting in my apartment though and I am actually pretty all right. I'm really looking forward to starting classes and getting busy. For some reason I just really like school and learning. The work part isn't that great but the learning is ok haha. I'm just excited to get busy so that I don't have to worry about being homesick. I hate it because whenever I meet new people or I'm in an uncomfortable situation I just clam up. I really can't help it! It doesn't matter how hard I think of something to say, I can't ever think of anything. I'm hoping that the whole college experience will get me out of that. Everyone that I have met so far has been really nice and helpful:) I just need to somehow make the little girl inside of me back off and let me make some friends!! Well, I'll let you know how my first day of classes go and hopefully get some pictures posted of my roommates and stuff.
