College Town

I am back to school, well college actually.  I am a big boy now…lol.  I arrived yesterday at noon, unloaded, dad and I went uptown to grab lunch and books, and then we came back here for a bit.  We talked, unpacked a little, and then he left and returned home.  I unpacked alllllll afternoon.  But, I got everything put away and organized.  I also cleaned from 7 weeks worth of empty room dirt.  But I got it all done, and all is good.

Then I met up with some friends and reunited after a very long break.  It was terrific.   We exchanged Christmas gifts and then went to dinner.  We later went to a friends apartment and chatted and played games.  We returned to campus about midnight.  It was so awesome to be out that late the night before classes start.  Campus was dead and all…but we were out and it was fun.  I don’t have class till 11am, so it works out fine…and I love it.

I am finally living the college lifestyle:  Earliest class is 11, and I don’t have friday classes.  woot!

But, I am off to meet some people before we walk to class, and then I have a full, busy day of class.  This week should be good, fun, and fast.  I have friends in classes, and I like it.  I am excited and doing MUCH better now that I am back on campus.

I’m not ignoring you…

I have just been really busy with stuff aka getting ready to move back to College.  I had a rather lengthy phone conversation with one of my very best friends from school after I posted my “emotion” blog.  We discussed many things, including our reservations to return to school.  Winter quarter for me last year was a drag, and I am just dreading it this year.  I think I have that seasonal depression disorder thing, because every winter I get sad when all of the plants die and the sun goes away for ever.  But, My phone call helped me out a lot.  It is always great to talk to a friend, especially a good, close one who has lots of advice.  So, thanks…I appreciated it.  It also made me feel a bit better to return to school.  We already set up our Christmas gift exchange of which I am happy about, and there is a Dance or Die next Thursday, which I can barely wait for.

This coming week will be so busy, I don’t know what I am going to do.  I have so many welcome back meetings and such…it is overwhelming.  Classes shouldn’t be too bad, especially on syllabus day (monday).  I decided I am going to move in on Sunday because I don’t need the extra day…and I want to avoid being alone in the empty dorm.  I can move back, unpack, run errands, clean, etc before I go to bed, so I will be fine.  Plus, I will have plenty of opportunities to get stuff done off and on this coming week.  My father is taking me back, which will hopefully help things a little bit.  I will be over saying goodbye to my mom by the time the 3 hour drive is over (i hope).

So, as I had mentioned I have been busy with packing and errands.  I got my hair cut, met my mom for lunch, visited my grandma, went over to my dad’s for dinner last night, etc etc.  Today is a day of heavy duty packing.  I will have most of it done today.  I need to get in gear however.  It is already 11am and I haven’t showered, so I need to step on it.

So, as I close break, leave home, and return to school, keep me in your thoughts and wish me the best.  I will be fine once I get back there and adjusted…I just hate the transition.  Also, don’t expect an update for a few days at least.  I will be uber busy…and time will be hard to come by when I get back to college.  I will post when I can.

The betch is back…

So I am back from Christmas festivities and my dad’s house.  It was a pretty good time.  On Christmas morning I was at my moms house.  We opened gifts ate breakfast, cleaned up, etc, etc etc.  There weren’t many surprises…as well all knew what we were getting.  I was with my mom when she bought all of my presents so it was a real shocker.  lol.  Some of use also got our gifts before xmas…like me and my phone.  However, I got what I wanted, so all was well.  I drove to my dads around 2 and opened my gifts there.  My brother and sister are both young, so we still believe in santa. cute!  So I got ink cartridges there, a few lotto tickets and some money.  I also got a watch…the exact one that I wanted.  However, I only looked online for it and the pics made it seem fab online…however, I know have decided that I dont care for it at much.  More to come on this later.  It has become a debacle. I played with the dog and looked at the kids’ gifts before we headed over to my gpas for xmas day dinner and more gifts.  It was nice to be there…I got to visit both of my uncles and one of their wives.  It is great to see them…they are a lot of fun and make getting together fun.  We opened gifts and then had dinner and snacks and such.   I got some money, gift cards, a hoodie, and cologne.  Woo!

Wednesday was spent sleeping WAYYY in and watching the kids and the dog.  it was actually enjoyable.  I spent the whole day playing with their new toys, games and movies.  They were good for me, and it was nice to spend some quality time with them.  I will be posting pics of my xmas on facebook later.  I spent the whole day there and then came back home late last night.  I had a severe headache, but decided to put away Christmas stuff anyways.   Then I watched the realworld and figured out what i am going to do with my cash.

I put a BUNCH in savings, and then i am going to spend the rest on a few items I would like:

-Digital Photo Frame

-Sweater Vest from American Eagle

-some other misc. Items

-and…and upgrade to my watch…which i thought i like…but I don’t.

Not having a receipt and dealing with Kohls on returns is the devil.  Plus, they don’t have the watch I want…so I am going to the store again tonight to look at some more and hopefully find one and just get it.

I haven’t had a watch since before thanksgiving, and I am in desperate need of getting one, getting it sized correctly, and doing all of that before I leave for school again next sat or sunday.  I haven’t decided which day i am moving back in.  Time will tell.

So, now it is your turn.  I have three questions for you!!!

1) How was your christmas?  What did you get?

2) When are you moving back to school?  Sat or Sun?

3) and…if you have any stories or advice for returning things…oh joy

Until tomorrow…
