orientation & such..

So orientation has already happened, but i guess i should fill you in since this is about college happenings...
My mom wasn't feeling well, but she seemed ok enough to come, so both my parents got to come along with me. We drove the four hours to WVU, and crashed at our weirdo hotel. i'm not exactly sure why we stay there, since its really old and completely out of the way.. but oh well. We met up with my roommate, Scarlet, whose name sounds like a spy. So my family, and scarlet the spy met for dinner @ bwws. A little awkward since i'm not that outgoing, but it was ok because Scarlet's mom did all the talking. apparently she is an artisan, and she likes making jewelry. The actual orientation went well, besides my math test. i really hate math. I got to register for classes (spanish, art, public speaking, bio, and sociology) and meet some of my advisors. I got my student id, though that was stolen along with my wallet last week. I am now the proud owner of a wvu lanyard and debit card though haha. I really like it at wvu :)i'm excited and completely nervous. there is still so much i need to do between now and august 20th, but i try not to stress out about it. I'm nervous about leaving all the people i love, and my cozy hometown. i'm a little scared that i won't get along with all my roomates friends, and that i won't find a good church. and that i'll get lost too :) But i am excited to be on my own and learning something that will actually help with my career. It'll be fun meeting new people and being free to do whatever i choose. I just hope forensic science isn't too much for me. I've still got time to prepare.... just about 9 weeks left of my summer. hopefully it'll be a summer like no other :)
