Day 1 at TJC

I got to TJC at around 11 am to spend my first night in my dorm room with my dormmate (Sara). :)) Shortly after my dad, Hope, Mariah && her friend came to see my new way of living. Over summer my dad has been really uneasy about me going to TJC,, so I was determined that I would change his mind if he just came to check out the campus. They got here and the first thing to see was my new home that Mommydoll, Michael, Cody && Kaela helped me decorate. :)) They saw that it was done in Camo && Pink. Then I wanted to show them the actual campus I would be at,, so I walked them around and everyone of them fell in love just as I did the first day I stepped foot here. We came back to my room and then grabbed some dinner at a seafood place; I'm trying new restaurants here because there is TONS I have never heard of. :)) it was great food. We went to wal-mart to grab some last minute things that I needed and then headed back to my house; I love calling it my home. :)) They stayed about 20 minutes to help me get my internet set up and then left. I called my mom shortly after to give her the play by play on them falling in love with my campus. After I got off the phone with her it started sinking in that everything my parents have ever taught me applys...now. I started talking to Sara and trying to get to know her,, she wants to be a nurse. So we are close in majors. :)) (Something in common). I finished setting up my half of my room and my R.A. knocked on or door and asked if we wanted to go downstairs to the ice cream social,, Sara and I talked it over and we decided it would be nice to meet some new faces. There wasn't many people down there, and for the most part everybody was talking to their roomates. So we came back to the room and hung out with our suitemates; Mariya && Red. :)) They are truely amazing people. Moving in the weekend before, we were bored so we started thinking of ideas as to what we could do. We decided to go out before we started classes and all got busy. So four girls shortly turned into five and then before I knew it seven girl wanted to go out. Well a couple of guys wanted to go out too,, so we decided to try out club REO... It was an adventure getting there. bahah. We walked in and turned right back around. All the girls were kind of upset because it's a saturday night and we were stuck going back to the dorms. So we stopped at the gas station,, shell,, and asked what clubs were for college students. The guy told us a couple of others that had just walked out knew of a place to go,, so we talked to them and to my surprise,, they were extremely nice. They told us to follow them so we did. It was amazing,, that place was packed. We got there around eleven and people were still showing up by one. I got asked to dance a couple of times,, but for some reason was being reserved. This guy kept telling me to go over to his side of the dance floor and kept saying "no,, I am okay..." So Mariya got Matt,, our seventeen year old friend from the gas station that looks about twenty,, to make him go away. He immediately got up and told the guy to back off. That guy didn't mess with me the rest of the night. Ha! Then all my friends wanted to dance but I stayed at the table to watch our stuff,, and yet again, another guy walked up and started talking to me...he told me he was going to UT and we started sharing interests. Then there was an awkward silence between us and he broke out with "do you wanna make use of this time",, I replied "hows that",, he asked if I wanted to go make out. HELL NO I don't wanna go make out. I shortly after replied "you met me three minutes ago and are already asking that!!" I am not "that girl". and he walked away; ha typical guy. So I spent the rest of the night with my ladies. :)) We left the club around one,, and then took a trip to mcdonalds. :)) ...were we met more people. *college town much??* :)) but I completely love it. After we came back home and the ladies still wanted to stay up,, but I was pooped by two am. So I stayed in my room and skyped with my sister,, ate ramen,, sent my family pictures and layed down to go to bed.


In conclusion my first night here was absolutely amazing and so eventful. I start school tomorrow and that's when things get a little challanging,, but a challenge?? Bring it, I am completely ready for whatever God decides to bring my way.

Something I learned: guys,, they are ALL the same; but I'm not here for a silly boy...I had more than an amazing time with my girls and that's all I need.

Something I would do different: NOTHING! I applyed everything my parents taught me to last night,, and I couldn't be more happy with myself.

Fun fact: I am already homesick. :(

I love you so much family and miss you like crazy.

*stay tuned for tonights update. :)
