One Month Late (more or less) but about a million memories richer

Man, I have been trying to update my blog for a month, seriously, but I refuse to post half-written things and I just was way to busy. So here we go. Finally the time. Okay, so I have a lot of things to reflect on so forgive me if I forget something but I'm going to do the best I can. I'm also going to try to cover both worlds (that would be school and rainbow). Okay so first up is where I left off, Opening Days, I had a pretty amazing group they were the Jump Start colloquium so I had to share them with Marla but that was totally okay because they were 8 of the coolest kids I have ever met and I was so happy to get to know them and to help them start their college experience. It always makes me smile when I get to see them which is not often enough and I'm sad that my schedule is too ridiculous to actually get to go to the reunion that Blake is planning. The thing that has actually stuck with me the most out of the entire Opening Days experience was Reality Check. Not necessarily being in the production itself although that did impact me as well, but actually getting to the roots of feelings, emotions, past experiences during the Reality Check Cast Debrief. It was just the perfect group of people in the right setting and it just was amazing.

Then the beginning of school. I actually got into all the classes that I wanted which was one of my biggest stresses about the beginning of this semester, I also got the good news that my half credit Stage Makeup class does not start until the half semester point which in this specific case will be Oct. 18th. So I got just into my rhythm this being that I finally figured out all my classes, Mariah and I got our room set up and everything was going good.

Phase 2, I went to a COB event at Delta Gamma, the Glee event, I was super excited because not only am I in love with Glee but I was really interested in DG. That was Wednesday, by the next Monday I was moved into Delta Gamma. It was a crazy couple of days, I remember feeling completely exhausted and overwhelmed and a little bit scared.

Now I'm feeling so much better about it. I honestly think that moving into the DG house was probably the best thing that I could have done at this point in my life. I have 3 solid meals a day. I get my homework done. Almost every day I'm in bed at a reasonable hour. I always get out of bed at the appropriate hour. Its amazing, I just feel so stable here. This probably sounds absolutely ridiculous but my mind is just doing a lot better. I feel so much better, I feel like I have my life under control.

Also, in the middle of all of this was Bid Day which was lots of fun but I felt terrible that I had to leave early but that is part of leading a double life.

I am happy to be back in the swing of doing rainbow things, I like being busy, I like talking to people and socializing and going to events, as much as I complain about it I do like the routine of on the weekends putting up my hair, putting on my make up, getting that dress on and getting things done.
