Only 2 days left in Minnesota!
September 01, 2005
Well this is my first entry! It feels weird because it makes the fact that I'm actually leaving to go to Boston for college real! It has always been so far away that I didn't think much about the reality of it, but now it's actually only 2 days away and I can't believe it! I'm super excited and can't wait, but I hardly have started packing! I am a big procrastinator sometimes and I probably won't do the major packing until like Friday afternoon and I leave on Saturday morning! And now I'm kind of stressed out because my mom and I are flying out on Northwest, and they are on that big strike right now, so they had to change our flight so that we are leaving 2 hours later and we have a layover in Detroit, so instead of getting there at 1 pm we are not getting there at 5 pm! And that was the only day I had to get some stuff I needed in Boston and get all ready to move in, but now I hardly have any time! So we'll see how that goes. And I'm also just finishing up the summer reading! I wanted to wait until right before school started so that the book would be fresh in my mind, and also I was reading Harry Potter! I read the 4th, 5th and 6th this summer so I was finishing that up!
One of the weirdest things is that right now almost all of my friends have already left for college. I think some of the east coast schools start later then others and so I feel like I'm the only one here! And my sister has already started school! So I feel like I'm not even going to school ever or something. It is weird. And I never could have imagined how hard it would be to say goodbye to your friends. I cried so hard when I sad goodbye to my best friend, and I miss all my friends so much. It is going to be very weird not seeing them everyday, but I just think about all the new friends I'm going to make and that makes me feel a little better!
And I'm getting sooooo excited about Boston! It is one of my favorite cities ever, and everyday I have to remind myself that I'm actually going to be living there next year! I have gone there so much because my grandparents live right outside of it, and my church has gone there a bunch of times too, so I'm somewhat familiar, but there is going to be so much to learn about getting around, and so many new places I'm going to discover! Boston is really the #1 college town, and I can't think of being anywhere else. I just hope the weather isn't too bad! But after being in Minnesota for 18 years I think anything is better than our weather! And Minneapolis, I'm definitely going to miss a lot of Minneapolis, there are a lot of cool places and people here, but I'm so ready for a change. I think going far away to somewhere somewhat new and different for college is the best thing you can do. And if you get homesick, which I'm sure I will at first, you can always call, email, write, or instant message people! I love being in the times of such great technology!
Well I better head off to bed but I will write again soon and talk more about how my packing is going or how I managed to do it in a day or 2! Until then...*Hannah*
