Well, after waiting and waiting and waiting to start college, while all my other friends began school in August, I finally got my chance. And it’s been absolutely GREAT!!! My mom and I actually came up here two days early to tour the city and I completely fell in Love with Boston. It’s a beautiful city with gorgeous buildings. And the people were so t.v. like. It’s my own little fairytale. I think the best thing though was getting to take a cruise in the Boston Harbor. That was really nice. Anyways, so Sunday morning came and it was time to move in and start my life as a college student, First of all, let me say that move in went really smoothly due to all the upperclassmen who helped us with all of our things and transporting them to our room. (Thanks) That was a really big help because I had eight bags total. Three large suitcases, three regular size suitcases, and two bookbags full of clothes and other neccessities. Then it was time to meet my roommates (and all of their family who were helping them move in and unpack.) They are both really great girls. Residence did a really good job with pairing us. Later, I said goodbye to my mom. I thought it was going to be an emotional goodbye but it wasn’t at all. It was good though, I guess because we had spent so much “quality time” together during those first two days in Boston. Moving on, orientation has been really fun. They’ve had some really fun and exciting things planned for us. Last night we watched Fever Pitch out on the Quad and today they had this group called NWC come in a do a two hour show which was REALLY GOOD. So far, I’m really enjoying it. I’m meeting a lot of great people. So, the next thing I have to conquer is the first day of class. I’m a little nervous about it, but I’ll definitely let you know how it goes.
