Get To Know Me?

Hello My Readers,

Starting fresh at college id like to start blogging and keeping track of some of the crazy things that occur here. Im not too far from home but far enough. It feels good to meet new people and just branch off away from the enclosed doors of high school. My schedule is pretty simple and keeps me on my toes. I pretty much walk everywhere and my car barely ever leaves the parking lot..saves on gas eh?

Im on the sixth floor of my dorm and had the goal of taking the stairs everyday...fail. Elevator was just toooooo tempting. The girls on my floor are amazing. There are quite a few housing halls around campus and even tho mine is the low ghetto our floors are a nice size where its easy to get to know everyone. Others are huge and might have up to 100+ guy/girls on each floor so to get to know each other and participate in group activities together is kind of difficult for them. Here if you wanna go get something to eat you just shout it out in the lounge and 2-3 people are always more then willing to go.

My boyfriend of almost a year, Nick, came home this last weekend for 4 days. Nick is an active recon marine, hitting his 1 year mark on August 25, so 3 years left. Those 4 days at home were not long enough but it was so good to see him agian. I now have to wait around 95 days to see him again.. so those of you math do-ers that around december 12ish. And this time its around 3 weeks :] I can not wait and he told me i was meeting his whole family this time. From what i hear thats a boat load of people..a big boat.. Im kind of nervous but excited at the same time. I want to be with him so bad. He means the world to me. Sometimes i dont understand how i can put myself through all of this, but when i remember the times i look into his eyes, i can see his light ocean blue eyes looking back at me. And without words i know hes never going to leave me, hes always going to come home.

My roommate Brooke is another story, i defiantly dont know how i feel about her...she stinks, leaves her junk on the floor, door wide open all the time and she makes such a rucus at night so i can never get any shut eye...KIDDING! Except the smelling part...actually thats a joke too. She smells fine. Shes my bestfriend and i dont know what i would do without her. She really never wants to get me the remote at night which i dont understand, even if she is sooo cuddled up in her own bed.. aha. But really she is great and the other day after nick left she went and got me ice cream so when i got home from the airport i could curl up and eat it. Shes amazing!

Well, thats the first of my many blogs to come i hope. Talk to ya all tomorrow.
