I'm having difficulty believing it's been a whole year, actually a little bit more, since I last posted something. Goes to show how busy college life is. So much has happened in a year that I'm having trouble figuring out what's worth writing about.
Well, first semester was pretty mellow, I drove there, sat through my lectures, drove home, did homework, and then basically watched TV. That was basically my life for the whole first semester.
Now, it changed once second semester happened.
So the inciting incident....was a car crash. So now I was carless, thank the Lord no one was hurt, all I got out of it was a scar on my hip from the seatbelt, and a rug burn on my chin from the airbag.
That was then what started all the job applications, car hunting, and staying with my aunt who lived closer to my school for the last two weeks of the semester.
Needless to say once the semester ended I had an amazing Christmas break that was divvied up between my one set of grandparents in Alabama, my boyfriend and his family in Minnesota, and my other set of grandparents in Canada.
Fun times.
Second semester was different in the fact that I now work at a local Mom and Pop's restaurant. And that led to less time for TV, and homework, but some how I still managed to get on Dean's List, and inducted into an Honors Society for Freshmen. It was all very exciting!
I also turned 19 second semester, (scary number, next year I'll be 20! Talk about weird) and that's when I got inducted to the world of smart phones by a dear friend who gave me one for my birthday. (She's amazing!)
Most of second semester was a large count down clock until the second month of my summer break. My family flew back this summer from Africa to gather up more support for their next term. (And of course to see their missing family member.)
They were here two days before we were headed back to the airport to pick up my boyfriend who was coming down to visit for two weeks. I'm tempted to say those were the best two weeks of my summer, but I also don't want to insult my family. (Love you guys!)
So anyways, lets see....over this summer I have traveled through 8 states, and 1 province. Lots of time was spent in my little Santa Fe car.
But it was fun to be back with my family and to see everyone again. I loved visiting all my extended family members, it was all in all a fantastic summer!
So there's the past year in a nutshell. I hope everyone had one just as good as mine, and that you learned a lot through it. Whether it be through school or real life, I hope you learned something about yourself.
I'll try to post more, and not leave you hanging for another year. (I make no promises though)
