Wow, today is finally here.
It's moving day.
Even though it is only 1:00am, its still technically the day i'm moving.
I don't know how, but my dad managed to pack all of my boxes plus a t.v. into the back of our explorer.
I honestly thought I would be leaving some stuff home!
I had 6 "good sized" cardboard boxes, an average sized tv, a long under the bed storage container, a mirror, a bedspread, another blanket, 2 big pillows, and some more stuff I can't think of :p
The trunk is so full you can't see the rear window, not even an inch of it.
Even with all the stuff in the back of the suv, I still need to sit my purse, school tote, another tote, AND a printer somewhere in between my brother and I.
Lets just say that tomorrow is going to be a long, long ride...

My mom was really upset tonight, she started crying in bed :(
I went in to try and comfort her, but it was making me sad too!
She is taking it really hard...
I know when she leaves me at the dorm shes going to start crying and then I'm going to start crying too!!!

It seemed like just a few days ago when summer started, and now it's already ending.
School starts monday.
I want to drop one of my classes though.
I have signed up for 17 credits so far, but I think thats going to be too much, so I need to decide which class to drop.
I wanted to drop anthropology, but the system won't let me.
I think I'm going to cut International relations, but I'm not sure yet.
I want to go over my course catalog (which has been packed away in a box for 2 months) before I decide.

Wish me luck! I leave in 8 hours!
Now it's time for some sleep :)

    With college only 2 weeks away, I've started to realize that I really am about to leave home and take a big step toward independence. At the end of Senior year, I was so excited about going to college and living away from home, but now that it is so close I'm starting to get nervous. I've always been very close with my family, and I knew that I would miss them when I leave, but now that I'm about to leave, everything is hitting me like a ton of bricks. Sometimes I think about it and wonder if going to a college 3 hours away is really what I want. I scared to leave my family and not be close to them. I'm scared that I'm not going to like the college. I'm scared that I won't find any friends. I'm scared that I won't get along with my roommate. I'm scared to leave my friends. I'm scared to not have anyone to protect me. I'm scared of being alone. I'm just scared.
    Today I packed up all of my "important" papers into a file organizer. When I looked at everything, I realized that I really am an "adult." This time last year, I rarely got any mail, not even an advertisement. Now, I get junk mail, bank statements, credit card applications, college papers, etc... I piled all of the mail I had kept onto my bed and just stared at it. I'm growing up, and it all happened so fast. Sometimes I wonder if I'm ready to go on my own. I've always been a very independent person, both in school and just life in general. But will I be able to do it at college? I really hope so, but I'm getting so nervous thinking about it, especially at this moment as I'm typing all of this out. I'm ready to go, but I'm not ready to leave.
