I have just completed my last final of my freshman year of college! I am now going to finish packing up all my many, many belongings (where did I get so much STUFF?) and leave for the open road, and home, by early afternoon. YEA!!!!! I am so ecstatically happy!!! Finals were actually not bad, I'm pretty sure I did well on all of them. Now I just have to get a job . . . ah me!

This first year has been full of new friends. Laughing with them, crying with them, playing, studying, going for jaunts in the car, watching new movies, splashing at the beach, and eating lots of food. Sigh . . . I'm going to miss life in the dorms. I have also (believe it or not) learned a whole new amount of information from my classes. I now can't help myself from recognizing fallacies, I constantly look for circumstances to use my escapes from self-defense, I am starting to think critically, I actually LIKE to sew now, I can function better on the computer, and I might really be understanding math. Might.

I have to go now, I need to finish parceling up all of my memories and material possessions. For those of you waiting at home for me - I'll see you soon!

Hey congrats on making it through your first year!! Now it's time for the sun, beaches, surfing, eating pineapples straight from the tree, bonfires on the beach, listening to Frankie and Annette...

...oh wait, you're leaving L.A. for NorCal...

...well I guess you can still listen to Frankie and Annette in car on the way home!

Have a safe trip - don't forget to say hi on Sunday.
