I have been saying my goodbyes to everyone this past week and it has been extremely hard. The airport will be the worst, but I woke up this morning with a positive attitude and for the first time this week I am excited.
Packing was torture!! It was so hard to get my suitcases under 50 lbs with all the school supplies I had to take. (I may have also packed a comforter, 2 pillows, and a mattress pad...sleep is very important to me and I'm not about to sleep a on wooden bed)
I'm going to miss Pam so much. She's with me every second I'm at home so I'm pretty attached.
This is Cadee Chatterton. She's going to be my roommate! I've played soccer with Cadee for years and she's definitely one of my very best friends! When I got an e-mail on black friday saying I could have a friend go with me for free I immediately called her and was thrilled when she decided to come! I don't know how I would be doing this without her. She is the cutest girl ever and adventurous just like me so I know we will have the time of our lives! That photo of us was taken on my senior cruise where we went to Mexico. It was me, Bayleigh, Cadee, and Katie sharing one tiny room so I'm sure our apartment in China with only two girls will be a major upgrade!
I will try to post on the blog at least once a week, but there are no guarantees! I will miss you all but I hope you enjoy seeing what I'm up to!
