Yesterday began the last year of my college career. I'm officially a Senior and it feels so gooood. The week before, I was able to get away from it all in Twin Lake with my whole family. It was my Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Sally and her husband Wayne and son Henry, my Aunt Stephanie and her husband Brian & the boys Ben and Will. Then there of course was me, my mom, John, Tyler and Joey. The house was definitely big enough with 6 bedrooms and bathrooms. We were right on the water and had a great playground for the boys, a fire pit on the beach for us to roast smores, and a volleyball net to play volleyball and badminton. It was seven days of pure relaxation, great conversations while playing games, and getting to spend QT with everyone. We had perfect weather every day and me Sally, and Steph even went to Michigan's Adventure one of the days and went on all the rides and water park rides. Me and Stephanie even did the Rip Cord! 183 feet of soaring fun.
It was scary when we were being brought up slowly to the top, and I volunteered to pull the cord that made us drop. I looked at Steph and said "Are you ready?" and pulled the cord. The second that I pulled it and we started dropping was the scariest part, and then half way down it started being more thrilling than terrifying. Sally got some great pictures of us :)
The day I got back, I packed everything up and moved into my new apartment. On my way to the apartment, I grabbed Dave's pizza and brought it to Danielle for her birthday. Unfortunately, our friend from the Palace had her home burgled so we went over there to inspect the damage and console her. I got there at 10pm and my door was locked! So I ended up having to sleep on the couch, which wasn't that bad. Then I worked Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at the Inn. Yesterday was my first day of school, and it was seriously like the first day of high school with everyone trying to show off with their fashion. The only thing I got new for Fall are tennis shoes, and that's because I destroyed mine at Lollapalooza. Today at the bus station, I saw my friend Sarah, who I met in Florida at Chef Mickeys while we were doing our internships and we got to catch up on the bus on our way home. I love walking on campus and just running into my friends. It's so funny that I can do that with 44,000 people milling about.
My apartment is awesome. Welcome week was crazy with lots of parties going on til 4am, which was a total 180 from Burnt Tree. The people across from us in the courtyard were having a 21st birthday party. I got to show my mom and brother the apartment complex when they dropped some stuff of for me. I have a 24 hour computer lab with free copies, a free 24 hour gym and tanning bed, and a a rec room complete with pool table, flat screen tv and refrigerator to put drinks in while we are at the pool. Speaking of the pool, I got to try it out today with Megan and Lynsey. It felt so good since it was like 90 degrees out today. After showing them everything, my mom dropped me, Megan, Jordan and Brandon (Lynsey's boyfriend) off at the soccer field on campus for Sparticipation which is a welcome event with food, music, free stuff, and exposure to more than 350 organizations. There's even an MSU quidditch team!
I got the e-mail for the campus recruiter at the Disney booth so hopefully I'll be a campus rep soon!
My room is looking really good, and our bathroom is cute too :) I still have to hang up the curtains and my pictures but other than that, my bedroom is complete!
