sunshine_queenHiiiiii, Livejournal.
I always forget what it's like here, seeing people. It's so weird staying here without my grandmother and all her pets- at first it was just my mother, my sister, my dog and me, and it was super weird. The next day we visited Gramma at the home (which is pretty nice, considering) and went to Mare Mare's to see her and Carolyn and the babies. Chloe (6) and Christine (3) are so ridiculously big, and it makes me feel old. I'm eighteen. That's just not right. Then when we went home, Julie and Katie came over, and Katie spent the night.
Today we visited Gramma again, and went to Mary's and saw Care and the babies, and then we went to Julie's house and saw Larry and Caroline. Amy and David are going away this week, so we haven't seen them, and Jeannie is with her fiancé at his lake house in New Hampshire, and I still haven't seen Little Amy or Briana. I am realizing now that I have many relatives.
The one thing I never forget is how much fun I have when Katie's around. She fits in so well with me and Mom and Mel, and we miss her so keenly when we leave.
Ficathon is due in two days (gulp) and I still haven't gotten my room assignment at UF, dammit. Carol did. Ollie? Have you heard anything?

Date: 2006-07-18 03:59 am (UTC)That sucks about not hearing about housing yet. I'm sure you'll get something. It could be that an unexpectedly high number of upperclassmen applied for on-campus housing and/or they let in an unusually big frosh class. My friends at UMD got super-shafted in terms of housing because of all the upperclassmen that went for it. As much as it screwed me over last year (as in, it was the reason they couldn't accept me...) I think all universities should develop a "all frosh must live on campus"-rule [unless you're a non-typical (read: older than most students) student]. Not only is it great for meeting new people/learning your way around the school, but it's so helpful to know that housing won't be among the 58940353 problems with which you'll have to deal in the college process.

I just want my damn assignment already, and to learn about my roommate!
