Growing Pains: Living the dream...

So i made it through my first week of college.

So many weird things of happened.
I realized I can be anyone i want to be. One time, i met this girl in the lunch line and i told her mine name was heidi...just because i could. i haven't seen her since.
Okay, maybe that's not the best thin to do...i guess that's abusing this new found "power". Or something. i don't know.

I love cal poly so far though...I've made some great friends, enjoyed seeing old ones, and am looking forward to living with 150+ new people this year in the liberal arts dorm.

Last Sunday my girl friends and i took swing dancing lessons. I now want to be a professional swing dancer, just in case you were wondering. It was so much fun. Then this Thursday we're going line dancing at the grad. caaaan't wait! so many new things to try!

Amongst the new things...there are still the old familiar things, such as homework. Yay. I'm only taking 12 units (I know, i know...) but it is a lot of work! Spanish is probably the most work, since i can make speeches up off the top of my head in my public speaking class (yeah...that's right) and my at class, well...its art.
It's a whole new way of studying though, let me tell you! I don't think i ever studied this hard for a quiz ONCE in high school. If i had studied this hard i would have for SURE been a valedictorian.

whatever. I'm glad i didn't stress out in HS. I just got to save it for college. :)

I'm not going to lie...on the first day of class i had my first "Oh Crap" moment. and it wasn't a good one.
I get to my Spanish class and we start going over the material and i can't understand anything the teacher is saying. not ONE thing. I guess i didn't think i was as rusty as i actually was. To make a long story durable though...i didn't think i would be able to switch to a lower level, but there was ONE class available with this really great professor. So God has it under control. Of course. Probably if i hadn't freaked out and trusted Him in the first place i wouldn't have felt as homesick and down and freaked out as i did.

hmmm...lets see, what else have i done since i've been here?
here's a little picture timeline of my time here so far...
