You know how sometimes you just have those days where you just don't say much because there is so much going on in your head that you can't even verbalize it...well today has been one of those days. From the minute I woke up I knew it would be a long day. I have things that need to be done toward the advancement of my apartment (i.e. furniture shopping...YAY!!!!)...which should inevitably be taking up the bulk of my brain power, however I have something else that's weighing not only on my mind but also my heart. I have always had an issue of trying to take on the problems of others as if they were my own, which in turn always puts extra stress on myself. I don't like for others I care about to hurt or to be put in situations they can't handle. And in this case it's all of the above. I'm only human so there's only so much I can do about it...but I do believe in a greater power who I know I can always turn to. So I'm leaving it in his hands...that seems to be the best solution to even the greatest of problems.
***as a side note: any ideas on color schemes for my apartment? I'm totally up for suggestions...

new chapter...
My extended summer vacation is slowly coming to an end...and while I have enjoyed the last 4 years of my life, I am super excited to begin the next chapter in what I like to call the frozen tundra. Beaumont to Houston was not such a huge jump in my initial move to college...i had the luxury of going home whenever I wanted, and my family always welcomed me wi
th open arms. At Rice I've had the opportunity to meet wonderful people, but to also immerse myself in a diverse culture that has opened my eyes to a whole new world. I can honestly say I have the BEST friends in the entire world...to describe each in detail would take a lifetime, and being without them will be the hardest adjustment for me to make in the coming months.
Massachusetts is a long way away from what I have called home for the last 22 years of my life...and while I will forever be a Texan at heart, I'm excited to immerse myself in the New England culture. For the first time in my life I will be able to see 4 distinct seasons (although I am not at all excited about snow storms, blizzards, and not being able to run outside with my typical running attire on). There is different food, different fashion...just a totally different culture from what I have experienced from previous visits to the state.
So here's to the next step...an astonishing 27hr drive to get there...but a new town, school, culture, and most of all my first VERY OWN apartment to welcome me with open arms.
