Countdown Mode
July 25, 2009

As July winds down…I’m pretty much on countdown mode. I’m super excited that college is almost a month away. My family is excited for me too. I have relatives that have gone to colleges far out of state, but I think for some reason, my excitement sparks their excitement. My family has been a good support system.
I recently applied for a campus job. I heard back from the cafeteria staff. A job is a job so I’m excited. Plus, I don’t think it will be as painful as my experiences at Giant Eagle. I look forward to the day when I will never have to drive in that direction ever again! ;P
I’m stoked about all the sports events. At first I was a little sad because upon applying, I didn’t know that MVNU didn’t have a football team. I absolutely love college football (Florida Gators is to whom I pledge my allegiance). But then I saw all those Cougar Crazies pictures and thought, Well there still are plenty of sports to show my Cougar support.
I already have all my things that I’m taking to MVNU packed and stored in boxes. I figured I’d make move-in day a little easier on myself. Plus if I didn’t start early, I knew I’d be stressed out. I went from twelve boxes down to five. I guess at first I was just a tad bit too excited. My dad helped me narrow down my true necessities. I felt like I needed everything in order for my dorm to feel like home.
Since Wal-Mart, or “Wallie World” is such a hot spot in Mount Vernon, I thought I’d get the feel for it and buy all my new dorm stuff from there. I did and found some good, college-budget-friendly stuff. My theme is like Hawaii island colors and flowers. I bought a mini surf board when my friends and I went “thrifting” and it has been my inspiration. Building my room is going to be fun.
Recently, I met my roommate. Thanks to modern technology we were able to communicate. She is going to a different orientation than I did, but it was cool to talk with her and meet a new friend. We have a lot in common already and talked for quite a bit.
With almost a month to go…I can hardly wait. I stare at those stacked boxes in my room, which is completely bare now, and sometimes can’t even believe I’m really going. Time really moves fast, even when you aren’t having fun. So I’m going to value these last days I have as a “kid” and all those extra hours of sleep. In a month’s time, I’ll be out of the nest and ready to fly.
Fellow Classmates: We have 50…40…33! MORE DAYS!!!!! =)
Peace, Faith, Happiness

It is so cool that you r so excited. I still have about 13 months to go, but I feel some of the excitement you do. I hope you have a great year and a great first day. It will most likely be the most crazy but still fun!

I got to see you but not exactly “meet” you at orientation. I’m excited for you to be up on campus in about a month…and I will certainly see you at some sporting events!

I think work in the cafeteria is a blast. If you work in the serving area, you get to see just about everyone on campus in a 2 and a half hour time period, you can’t do that any other way! It’s sweet.
