 I FINALLY got my envelope from UAA Housing today, and my college has offered me housing for fall semester!! I'm so happy!! I was irrationally worrying that they would somehow run out of spaces before they got to my application for consideration or something like that. Very silly, but I'm very relieved to know that somewhere, in some room, in some hall, I have a spot. And plus, Chelsea got her letter today, too, so we're gonna be starting our first year living on campus together, just like we wanted. 

This does make me pretty nervous. The more real it starts to feel, the more real leaving my family becomes; it's pretty scary. I just feel down because I feel like everyone has already got this pegged and knows how to deal with it, and I'm playing catch up. :( Better late than never, yeah, but that doesn't help me feel any better. I just hope it's worth it. I hope I love it like I think/hope that I will. And that I get a roommate that's cool, not too much of a neat freak, and doesn't mind me staying up to ungodly hours either for studying or just because. 

Mom and dad had an alarm system installed this week, 2 different days, from around 5-9pm. Needless to say, I didn't see the need to get one, and did not enjoy the people sawing and drilling and hammering holes into and shit into the walls of my house. Plus, one sensor is apparently at the DOOR to the garage. If someone is getting into your garage, chances are you're already in trouble. Why a sensor needs to be there is something I have no idea about. I'm not thrilled, but I didn't pay for it. 

On another note, I have a friend that's being a total bitchface. She, we'll call her G, was in my english 211 class spring semester, and we started talking and made friends on pretty much the first day. We'd do partner work together and everything, and exchanged cell #s to text and everything. We eventually started talking to another girl in our class, R, and we were somewhat of a trio for a while. Eventually, I noticed G siding more and more with R and adopting some sort of cold shoulder bitch attitude toward me (R seemed to have this attitude as well; she would bitch if she didn't get her own way). Now, G doesn't even talk to me at all; I text, facebook wall post, everything (and not constantly, just once and a while), and nothing! :/ I'm just sad; it always sucks to lose a friend to a mean girl. 

We leave for vacation (flying into cincinatti, OH and visiting several cities within the state to see relatives, etc, in case you didn't know) in just about a week! First class~! I have to get cleaning, though; insulation people are coming to spray shit into the attic while we're gone, and the attic entrance just happens to be at the top of my closet.
