i mean we’re talking i had my purse in one hand and my backpack on and everything. it should have been a scene in a movie i’m telling you! it was the sweetest moment. as i was trying my hardest to get to the baggage claim, all i could think about was i hope he’s some where where i can see him. i’m riding down the escalters, looking from left to right trying to find him, and there he stands! it was one of the happiest moments i’ve ever had! i dropped my bags and just jumped into his arms! i didn’t want to let go, and we’re in the middle of the baggage claim. lets just say my trip had a happy ending the mintue i saw him! and some of these northern people just aren’t the nicest people i’ve ever met…to say the least. i think they are just jealous because we talk cuter than they do lol! oh well…and did you know they didn’t charge tax up here! i know right. there is a target like a few blocks away, and they so didn’t charge tax on the stuff i forgot to pack lol. the only places that do charge though are the places to eat. but i mean, if that’s the only places, by all means lol. and there are a TON of starbucks up here. it’s like every where you look you see one. as much fun as i’m having though, i miss zack 
. and bless his heart, he misses me too! lol some of the people from our group went and saw the play “rents.” i wasn’t too keen in going, but they seemed to have enjoyed themselves. one guy that’s with us, Devin, is like a theater guru lol. so you know he had a ball there! oh and 3 of us mustanges won the scholarship skd gives away. i was so proud of them! they got it presented to them at our luncheon. oh, and i over heard some like people who actually live here, and one was saying how it was supposed to be warm. it’s only 40 degrees up here if that and this man is talking about getting out his shorts! i was like wow….i mean when we say it’s going to be warm that’s one thing because we’re running around in sun dresses not thinking anything about it being in the 70s, but when snow flurries are in the atmosphere and you say that’s warm, that’s another thing lol. oh well….you know i’m bundled up! i look like an eskimo for crying out loud lol, but at least i’m warm. oh well….it’s times like these that naps were invented. i’ll be sure to let you know how it goes! you know we’re going to look FABULOUS! any who…i must go! i’ll blog ya later! on the way to the airport (zack took me by the way) i started crying i was so upset because i was going to be gone from him for like 5 days! i mean i know it sounds silly, but i hated it. it’s the longest we have ever been apart. now let me just tell you…the first plane we took was SO small! i thought i was going to flip! i mean it olny seated like 50 people. and to top it all off it was raining, so you know that made a plane that small hit even more bumps than usual. i got so scared on the plane i startes scaring the man sitting next to me lol. it’s not like i meant to, but i have never felt so scared on a plane. (and you’re talking about a girl who used to fly quite a bit) the next plane we got on wasn’t too bad. it was bigger and you know what they say in texas “the bigger the better!” i got to sit next to our sponsor (also my teacher) mrs. reeves. we chatted the whole way like it was nothing lol. i loved it. plus she taught me how to play hearts the right way on the plane lol. when we got to our destination, i was so relieved. cold, but still happy to be on land lol. our hotel is so nice! and we got great rooms. mrs. reeves’s is even better though. i’m talking this place it fancy! i can’t wait to explore the city in between sessions . well….you do know the mall of america is up here lol! a girl just can’t resist her shopping. but right now though, i just want to relax…it’s been a long day. i’ll be keeping you updated while i’m here though. i just have to read over it a few times before i read it in front of people i don’t know! ahh! jk you know i like to be the center of attention! ). I had good plans for over the break too, but you know plans are always meant to be changed…and of course mine did. You see, I was going to be a good student and do all my work and maybe even get ahead and get so much of it out of the way…..lol let me just tell you, I didn’t do a thing over the break! Trust me, I’m paying for that now, but at least I had good intentions lol. . . and trust me, i’m so not enjoying this. i would love to be at the beach right now where some of the nacc herd is, or even in atlanta with my family, but it doesn’t seem like i’m going to be doing much. bummer! i’m hoping this week might turn around (considering that it’s only monday). cross your fingers. the only great thing so far is that i get to sleep in! i’m telling you, going to school 5 days a week and having 8 am classes everyday is killing me! well, it’s wearing me down anyways. i know y’all think all i do is gripe, but there is a difference between having a schedule, and then a busy life! all i can do is bare through this and i know it will be all worth it some day. maybe not any day soon lol but it’s coming…..i hope y’all have a great week! try and relax…..maybe i should take my own advice lol!
