the eagle has landed.

Alright. I'm here.

Yesterday was my first day, and I am starting to already feel homesickness. 

It'll go away soon though I'm sure. 

At least I hope so, I'm not to keen on crying. Like...at all. And, I don't cry.

So many emotions just came at me at once, I didn't really get long enough to say goodbye to my parents and Skyping with Drew was a bust. But hey, it'll all work out in the end I'm sure. Hopefully.

It's just all so different. I come from having everyone I love around me to having no one. My roommate, Shayna is cool and everything, but she has family to fall back on while she is here, and she also has quite a few friends from highschool, so it's a lot easier for her. 

I do not know what I would do without telephones. We are so blessed now. 

But anyway, on to the subject of what I did yesterday.

I'm doing an "Early Start Program" which is basically a seminar you have to attend for 3 days for 3 hours and you get to move in before the hustle and bustle when all of the other freshman move in. I also get a credit. This all for 100 dollars. If you are going to be a future BSU student, I'd look into it. 

You can't get a credit for 100 bucks, so it's worth it. 

So I arrived at the school, unpacked everything from the car, checked into my hall, and brought everything up.

We were here before Shayna so that was good. We got the majority of our stuff out of the way and got my bed lofted. 

After that we went to eat at Pizza King and then to a pointless meeting that lasted about a half hour, then off to the dorm to organize.

We have most of the stuff done, Shayna has a few things to get organized but the majority is finished and I am thanking God. Haha it was hectic.

So all in all, it is an exciting time, but also nerve-racking and sad.

It's weird growing up.
