IN PA!
Well well well. Here I am in lovely Pennsylvania. I'm all moved into my dorm, my books are bought and classes start tomorrow. =D
The trip down here was effing Hell. We left my house at 2:30 after I had been cleaning ALL day. I was tired and a little bit pissed but whatev. I go to the campground to say goodbye to my mom and I start getting a little teary-eyed and my mom starts crying as she hugs me. She's all, "I love you and you can come home any time if you don't like it." And I hugged my mom for a while... it kinda sucked seeing my mom like that before I left but I know she was just happy for me and such. So I said good bye to my mom and everyone who was working and they were all GL! ... Yeah.. >.>
So I leave and I start heading towards PA... which is probably like a 6.5 hour trip if you do it right. My dad and I? 8 hours. Neither of us know how to read a freaking map so once we get to New York, we're just absolutely screwed because there's just so damn many roads and shit in New York. We must have hit traffic on EVERY freaking road we were on. The Rolling Stones were playing in Hartford that night and we hit THAT traffic -.- And then the traffic in New York City is unbelievable. I hate New York City, I hate the people, I hate the traffic and it's -so- dirty. Just, gross and disgusting. The George Washington Bridge, however, is pretty. lol. So once we get through NYC, my dad and I get lost in New Jersey and somehow magically end up in a mall. Don't ask, I don't know. Lol. So we pull over and my dad studies the map for like 15 minutes while I call Steven and update him on my progress. Anyway, we get back on the right road and we make it to Pennsylvania at around 11:30 or so. Well when we get to the hotel, I call Steven and I talk to him for a little bit, which was nice because I love talking to him >.> Well anyway, we get up to the room. One bed, smoking. My dad calls down and asks for two beds and non-smoking. So we get re-assigned. Cool. But I'm effing tired and I've had a bad day. But we get to the room and stuff and then my dad goes to get ice, so I follow him and there's a snack machine. I go to put in a dollar bill and get some food and it says, "MACHINE DOES NOT TAKE DOLLAR BILLS" so I'm a little bit pissed. So I get out the $5 in quarters my mom gave me and I start getting food. My dad had said he wanted some potato chips, so I proceed to get him some chips, however, the fucking thing decides to get stuck so I have to buy ANOTHER bag of chips to push that one out. So I go back to the room and I'm calmed down some. I'm tired. I want to eat my Reese's Pieces and Cheez-Its, watch Monk and go to sleeeeeeep. I'm in the bathroom getting water, and I hear, "SHIT!!!" Apparently, my dad was moving something in his shower thingie and a razor took off a couple layers of skin. I was like, "EW GET THAT AWAY!" So dad went and got a band-aid from the front desk and we watched Monk and went to bed. It was -the- most comfortable bed I've slept in. Yey.
So the next day is move-in day. I get some chocolate chip pecan pancakes which are AWESOME and then we head over to school to start moving in. I check in at the Great Hall and proceed up to the room to check it out. It's awesome. We share a bathroom with the room next to us, which isn't too bad. It's semi-private, which is cool. I got the top bunk and everything is all cool and yeah. My mom gave me a little teddy bear so I like, snuggle with that. Last night we didn't have a TV so I had my dad bring us one. It's a small one but that's fine. We have country cable though... we only get like 18 channels but that's fine. We only use it to watch movies or listen to music or stuff like that. I'll probably play a game tomorrow afternoon or something. I like games.
I bought my books today. Freaking $450. The history book is -huge.- Psych book was expensive. French was expensive. English was expensive. Only cheap ones were theology. Argh. My mom is gonna put some money back into my checking account because right now, I have like, $12 or something left. Annoying. Argh. erlghjsgh. The end.
Seeing my dad leave kinda sucked. He was all crying and stuff. It sucked hardcore. I don't like seeing my dad cry.
Food is awesome here. I had stuffed chicken breast for dinner tonight. It rocked. But yeah. Food is pretty good, and I'm happy.
I've been calling my parents but I'm only calling them to like check in with them and let them know I'm okay. I called Steven a lot this weekend. I'm gonna call him every night because I need to hear his voice before I go to sleep and such... so I'm limited to an hour on weeknights and I can call him as many times as I want on weekends.
Well I'm gonna go ahead and wrap this up so I can call Steven and do whatever for about an hour. Classes start tomorrow and I want breakfast and that ends at 9... so I'mma head off in about an hour. Night, kiddies!

P.S. College is awesome, and I've only been here for like, 2 days. I highly recommend it ;)
