Just "Dumping" Some Information On You.

I know, I know, I'm soooo "punny".  But if you didn't catch it from my title, the whole thing with Chris suddenly evaporated into thin air because he realized it would be too difficult to say goodbye at the end of the summer.  And yeah, it sucked, and still does to be completely honest.  But I'm a big girl.  Heck; I'm a college kid!  There are worse things in life than inconsiderate males :)


So the other day my mom took me to Target to get some "basic" supplies for college.  And let me tell you, I never realized how many "basic" items I use!  I have an entire laundry basket full of these supplies and have absolutely no idea how I'm going to fit everything in a tiny dorm room.  I'm so used to having so much space to sprawl out and put my stuff...it's going to be a real test to keep my side of the room clean!


By the way, I got my laptop!  This is my first post I'm writing (or typing, I guess) with it.  It's a Toshiba something-or-other, and it certainly gets the job done!  I also got a mouse and some external speakers to plug into it for none other than DANCE PARTIES!!!


Speaking of which...


My roommate, Megan, says she loves dance parties!  This is the first day we've really talked since she just got home from vacation, but she seems sooo nice and friendly, and we actually have quite a bit in common, so I think this is good news. God had a reason for forcing me to get a random roommate!


Tomorrow my grandma is taking me out to pick something out for my dorm room...I'm thinking I want to get this inspirational quote board wall hanging to spruce up the place a little, but I honestly don't know how much wall space I'm going to have with all the stuff I want to hang up!  I'll definitely post some pictures once I move in and everything.  If the quote board doesn't work out, I'll probably get an iron, though I have no idea where that's going to fit in the shoe box of my room...


I'm becoming a pro at Skype!  Jenna and I just did it the other day and Brooke, my best friend who's going to Purdue with me, and I just practiced tonight...even though we live less than half a mile away from each other and will never really have a use for Skyping with each other since we're going to the same school...oh well, it was fun :)


I only have one chapter left in our Common Reading Assignment book, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.  The boy literally built a wind mill out of virtually nothing.  Very commendable, but boy oh boy was there way too much physics in there for it to make any sense to a mathematically and scientifically challenged girl like me!  ...I skimmed through several paragraphs because it went right over my head.  Nothing like slacking on my very first assignment in college!

I Officially Have a Roommate.

I think I'll finally be able to sleep at night.


I no longer have to sit up in bed worrying myself about what psycho I may have to live with in the tiny closet-sized room I'll have to call my home the next year.  I won't have to imagine every possible awful scenario involving a roommate (is she a thief? will she come home at 4 am when I'm trying to sleep? dear goodness, please tell me she won't lock me out of my room so she can spend 'quality' time with her boyfriend...) any longer.  The nameless, faceless girl I will live with for an entire year now has a name.  Oh, and a face.  My roommate definitely has a face.


Her name is Megan, and I just "met" her the other day on Facebook.  Due to my natural curiosity and insatiable desire to creep on people, I instantly scoured her timeline and perused her pictures and was surprised at how...normal she seemed.  Most of her pictures were of her and her friends, which is always a good sign.  Plus, I got to chat with her a little too, and she's majoring in Elementary Education like me!  We already have some things in common!  My anxiety has been quelled, and my excitement for college is growing.  Having a great roommate will make it that much easier to leave behind everyone here.


Speaking of leaving everyone behind...okay, it won't be as easy as I just mentioned.


I'm not quite sure how much information I should reveal on here, but heck.  If you really want to know, I guess I'll spill.


So there's this guy. (Isn't there always?) His name is Chris, and I've known him for a little while now since we've gone to school together and everything.  But we really just started talking this summer, and I've loved getting to know him and his friends.  


Enter emotions.


Suddenly, both of us like each other, and each day I get closer and closer to leaving.  We decided that we can't officially be together because I don't want a boyfriend when I go to school.  But it really sucks.  A lot.  We've been taking YOLO and Carpe Diem to heart though, and even though we both know that we're gonna be screwed at the end of the summer, we're trying to make the most of it and enjoy each others' company while we can.  I'll keep you updated.


Enough of the teenage girl rant and onto the boring stuff.


I bought some things for college the other day!  This included:

• My bedding (we ordered it online...it's pink and black and white floral print!)
• A bedside shelf to put things on since I'm lofting my bed
• A lap desk to put my laptop or papers on when I'm studying in bed
• A drying rack for the clothes that I don't want to put in the dryer
• An umbrella for those drizzly Indiana days
• Rainboots for my treks across campus in the snow and rain

There is a tonnnn more stuff to get, but I'll worry about that later.
