Dear Life,

When did you decide to pass by so quickly?

So, freshman year of college. Where do I start? Roommate...bahahahaha. So, I'm an only child, and my roommate happens to be one too. She is most definitely your stereotypical only child if you know what I mean. Whatever, just a few more weeks of her then I get to live with friends.
Boys...well, as was what many expected (and my parents hoped for), the boyfriend and I when college started. So much emotion was wasted on that. Hard times. The break up was messy, which was coupled with moving into the dorms, being on my own, having to make new friends, being in extremely difficult classes, etc. Such an emotional drain. Bouncing back wasn't difficult, however, yay! No boyfriends for me, but definitely living the single life up, and enjoying it. It really had been a long time since I was single--2 years. This is a nice (and necessary) change for me.
College has taught me a lot about myself already, and I'm just a freshman. I've really come to accept so much about myself and I know myself rather well now compared to high school.
Friends. Oh mylanta what would I do without them? They are amazing. My girls! They listen, they advise, they sympathize, they scold, they're like the sisters I never had! They really have made the majority of the positive difference in my school life.
I don't go home often, which actually surprised me, even still. I always thought of myself as such a homebody, but I really have no desire to go back home. I love seeing my parents, but...for short periods of time haha! I feel like that's healthy. I talk with them a lot (text, email...) so it's not like we never speak. The distance has made me appreciate them more also. I like it. I did, however, get homesick first semester...but a phone call fixed that right up.
I miss some of my really close friends, though. But that's to be expected. And at least we all text. I don't really see the majority of them over breaks either, since I'm at private school and a lot of them are at UC's. Bummer. But it is what it is...summer 2011 anyone?
Speaking of summer 2011...I'll have no life....Lab research, work, school, tennis. There it is, isn't it beautiful? :)

Quick update. Good to get it out.

Have been actually quite interesting. Wednesday and Thursday I spent in the BEAUTIFUL city of San Diego, California. They have the most amazing mall I've ever been in down there in downtown. Ugh. I love downtown areas that are kept up nicely. Spent the time with 5 of my friends, and we stayed at a hotel right by the beach. It was amazing.
My boyfriend and I found this lovely pier where we just sat, talked, and cuddled until it got too chilly for our summer-y clothing. It was surreal, and I wish we could have had more time.

So Wednesday and Thursday were FANTASTIC. Oh man, did I mention that traffic was a doll? There was like 1% traffic. It was terrific.

Then today, Friday, has been full of pain and agony. I got my wisdom teeth pulled out. All 4 of them. And I wasn't put under anesthesia. Nope, I got to be awake for all of it. It was absolutely awful. Well, the right side was. The left side was a breeze, comparatively speaking. So now, I'm on pain killers and antibiotics, and a not-so-full tummy because 1) I'm just not hungry, and 2) everything needs to be soft, and I really dont want ice cream and yogurt and all that right now. So I stuck with luke-warm chicken noodle soup; Campbells. Gotta love 'em.
