First week of college!

What a week!  I mean seriously!  I feel like I have already experienced it all!  Yet, I know that I have more to come.  For starters, this morning, feeling strongly prompted and suddenly confident about the BYU nursing program I dropped my world religions class and signed up for Chemistry.  And let me tell you, I am scared!  However, this whole Crohn's experience has taught me (is teaching me) that I CAN DO HARD THINGS!  So, acting on this prompting,  I am going for the nursing program!  Unless, of course, Heavenly Father reveals a different plan for me.

Secondly, I have experienced sleep deprivation already.  Maybe not completely, but definitely some lack of sleep.  Between roommates, parties, and emotions I have plenty to keep me awake at night :)  Not to mention my new bed.

Thirdly, Boys.  Do I need to say anymore?  Within the first day I already felt my head spinning because of this.  (*sigh)
( If you would ask me on a date, I would say yes :) )  ( I think you know who you are )
Plus, when you asked me yesterday why I wasn't eating lunch and I told a little lie to simplify things saying ( I can't eat bread.)  What did you think?  Did it scare you away?  I hope not!

Fourthly, Homesickness.  My family is already far away from me on the first family vacation without me.  I really miss them.  Especially last night when I was struggling with homesickness, Crohn's sickness, boy drama (already), and pre-college stress.  Including deciding my major ( and changing ) last night.

Fifthly, I am already getting to know myself better and learning how to rely on my Heavenly Father's totally supportive help.  Because I have always gone to my mom for everything ( I have called her in the past 3 days about 6 times ), I am now realizing that I can do the same with my Father in Heaven.


Some friends that I met in my "y" group


Did I mention that I am cooking all of my meals now?


My dorm :)


Watching family videos before I left got me teary eyed.  Again.


Stocking up on my food supply.






My first breakfast.


Classic repeat of a pork salad.  Thanks mom for the leftovers :)



My final car load of stuff
