Grrrf!

So the last three days have been hectic almost. It feels like they’ve been hectic. I’ve been going so many places and spending way too much money… After my emotional breakdown on Sunday, I went to a Christian concert and it was great! It was actually kind of short, which I wasn’t expecting. I wish I knew more of the songs they played. I didn’t know most of them. I knew a few words to maybe one song and that was about it. However, I did get all of the band’s CD’s. I think… I have five of I don’t know how many MercyMe CD’s.

Monday was sort of chill. All I can remember doing that day was going over to Karin’s house for some more instructions on taking care of all of her pets. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this already, but she has four cats (three adults, one kitten), a hairless rat with “head-tilt disease,” two quails (Romeo and Juliet), a bunny, a guinea pig, and two dogs (who are quite large). So I’ve got my work cut out for me. Last night was the first night I checked up on the animals and one of the cats, either Salem or Mollie, had an… accident… Let’s just say I had to call a code brown!

I’ve been going swimming a lot, too, since the Clements have been gone (that’s Karin’s family). They have a lovely pool and it’s so nice to go swimming in this crazy heat in the bay area of California. It’s super hot during the day and then it gets rather chilly in the evening and definitely at night.

Yesterday, though, was super amazing. I went with Kim and her family to Fresno so that I could show them my school. They happened to be dropping off their cousin, who lives in Fresno, so they suggested I come with them and check out the school.

Up until yesterday afternoon, I had never seen much of FPU. It’s ironic how I will be attending but I’ve never had a full campus tour. So dorm shopping has been sort of risky because I hadn’t seen what the dorms look like nor was there much information online. Kim’s mom, Marlene, told me to find someone and ask about the dorms. We happened across the student life office and so we started asking some questions and turns out… We got a tour!

I got to go see the freshmen dorms and get some of my questions answered—not to mention our tour guide, Allan, was rather cute. I even got to see the sophomore dorms, too, which are a little different.

So it looks like I’ll be sharing a room with two other ladies and we get our own bathroom. It’s actually really cool! The room is spacious, even with three people in it. Each of us gets a bed, desk, and closet. I’m so excited!

While I’m still sad about just me and my dad going to the send off service on the 19th, I am a little bit lifted up now because my dad recognized how hard I was taking it and he told me he wanted to throw me a going-away party the night before. I feel so much better even though I still really wanted others to be there the next day. My mom still isn’t going to be in town for my going-away party so I’m not sure how I feel about that yet. There’s nothing I can say or do that’s going to change her mind so it’s not really worth thinking about.

I’ve been working on that song, “A Thousand More,” that I posted a long time ago and it’s not working! I’m getting frustrated because I’m struggling to find the right music for the words. I’m so much better at putting music to words than I am at putting words to music. On top of that, my singing isn’t great so that’s throwing me off as well. Grrrf.

I'm going to start adding a new song every week :) i discovered how to do it so I'm going to do it now. lol :) should be fun! This week's is Amber Lynn by Mayday Parade.

Alright I’m signing off now!
