I realize that it has been one week and two days since I last updated my blog but anyone who is in university right now gets it when I say that I've just been way too busy to update this thing. I guess I should start right where I left off:
September 4th:
I saw my best friends for the last time that day. There was a ton of crying going on but surprisingly I did not contribute to the crying (at least not in front of anyone). There were so many things that I had to do so they had to leave my house early but they promised that they would return later that night. Surprisingly, my besties (minus Renae) came back around 9 and guess what? I suckered them into helping me pack my van. I'm such a nice friend right ;) After the car was packed we just went to my room and just talked. We had one long random conversation for old times sake and Nadia also decided to hi-jack my phone and take some strange pictures with one of those weird features that you can do to phones. Midnight came and went and we all were huddling on my driveway crying (minus me) because it was really hard to understand that it was more like a see you soon than a goood bye. I then watched my friends drive away into the night and I wondered when I'll see them next.
September 5th
Moving day! Ahhhhhh I was so scared but pumped for this day. This was the day that I had been preparing for ever since I figured out that there are other universities out there besides uWindsor (not really but you know). The drive was long but it wasn't at the same time. We left Windsor at 3 am and we got to Ottawa around 10:45 am. When we got to the university there was so much chanting and screaming coming from the overly excited facils. My mom was ready to turn back because she was scared (haha no lie). We got my keys and stuff picked up and pulled into the parking lot near my rez building. I am not kidding when I tell you that it took like MAYBE 30 seconds tops to empty out my car. I almost laughed when I saw this one guy just effortlessly bringing up my mini fridge to my second floor room. Afterwards my mom and I set up my room and unpacked everything along with my brother because he surprisingly stated that he wanted to help set up my rooom. As my famjam helped me with my room, I had to go to some rez floor meeting and everyone on my floor got a bag of m&m's and for every m&m in your bag you had to state something about yourself. I had 15 m&m's ! Do you know how hard it is to state 15 'normal' things about yourself. In the end I was just like yeah I grew up across the river from the most ghetto city in the USA. After the meeting I met my famjam in my room and we all went and ate in the caf. The food was super good but I was too nervous to eat. After dinner, my famjam and I fixed up the room one last time and we went to a motel because they were too tired to drive home and I was too tired to put up with any loud parties on my floor.
September 6th
After spending the night in some cute little motel I was officially ready for whatever university was ready to throw at me. My parents and I went and said hello to my mom's uncle (who lives in Ottawa) and we talked to him for a little while. It was so nice because he told me that if I am ever in trouble I can call him and he will come get me. It was so nice to know that there was someone who had my back in this big city. After we left my mom's uncle's house we came back to CU and I showed my dad my room and then we all went to go eat lunch. It was there that my dad's boss called and told him that he had to drive at midnight that same day so my family had to leave. My mom started to cry in the caf and I tried SO hard to not cry but some tears did escape. I met up with Alisston and we followed her parents to their car and then after they left we found my parents and said bye to them. After they left I was alone. It was a strange feeling but for some reason it felt like they would just show up the next day again. That night I went to the mall, got my Ottawa bus pass, walked around dt Ottawa with Alisston and Alicia and then came back to the campus in time for the pep rally, student fair and 'Old Crows' vs Ravens basketball game. It was intense ! We lost but only by a little. After the game there was a much music video dance but really all I wanted to do was SLEEEEEEP.
so i'm just really tired of writing. i'll finish the rest of my weeek tomorrrrrrow :)
