11 days until I am in Tuscaloosa, living it up at the University of Alabama. WOOHOO!!!
I cannot wait to go to school. Living away from home will be challenging at times, and I will miss my family, but I am SO ready to be my own person. I can't wait!!! Learning to cook, being my own planner/alarm clock...it's going to be a great experience. I also can't wait to kick my workouts and diet into high gear to get into the shape I was in during swim season---and better. There's going to be so much to do and experience. I want to take full advantage of all of the outdoors activities--rock climbing, camping, fishing, hiking, kayaking--I'm doing it all. And don't even get me started on meeting new people! I already have two roommates and all of their friends to meet right when I arrive. I can't wait to meet sooo many other people from different backgrounds.
I can't lie. I am a nerd, and I am also extremely excited for my classes and the learning. I think college is going to be perfect for my kind of learning--independent and involved. I was pretty set on my major being Public Relations, but now I'm also considering International Relations and Political Science. I read Sunrise Over Fallujah and loved the type of work the characters did in Iraq. I am really interested in doing Civil Affairs work with other countries. The Middle East really interests me--crazy right? I could learn Arabic and study abroad at an embassy in Europe or something. Who knows? I'm known to change my mind quite often. SO many doors are open for me, and I will probably look around into all of them twice before I decide. I can't wait to write about it and watch my growth over the year.
