End of Week One

So I'm sitting here in my room with homework for tomorrow done and I'm watching TV. I got bored and decided that I might as well update my blog again.

The first week of classes is officially done today and the second week begins today so I'm in the middle of something though I'm not sure what it is yet.

The first wek went well. I got through classes pretty easily, even though I had to drop marching band. I'm feeling better about my ability to do well in the classes that I'm stilll taking. I'm happy with how challenging everything is and how different it is from high school.

I'm even making a bunch of new friends. No boys yet but I'm sure that it will get better as the weeks go by. This weekend was fun. I went up town with some of the girls on my floor and we ate lunch in a cafe and bought some cds in an amazingly huge music shop called Finders. It was way cool. I even got to go to Meijer and get some of the things I needed and some things that I didn't need, like  a storage container, Chai Tea, juice, and paper for the printer that is coming soon.

THANKS MOMMY!!

I'm going back to Farwell Friday and picking up Cassi on the way. Can you imagine what us girls are going to be like after a car ride for four hours? I guess if you really want to find out you can give either of us a call on Saturday. I'm hoping that I might get to see some of you friends of mine while I'm up there but who knows? Maybe it will just be Cassi who I get to see.

Leave me a note sometime people! I love hearing from you and I hope that all is well.

Updating my status

Hey guys!

I just figured I would bring everyone up to speed again. I did say that I would try to keep this updated regularly so here's another update after this second week of college.

I moved in August 16 and did band camp for that whole week. It was really hard and I ended up makingthe band. I was really happy about it for awhile too.

Then classes started and I got overloaded. My classes were so crazy that I had to make a huge decision. Whether or not to continue with band. In the end my studies won over because ultimately I'm in college to get an education. Although I wanted to stay in band I'm glad that I made the decision to quit becuase my studies are really taking up my time and even then I am finnding time to do fun stuff like go out tonight.

Tonight I'm going to a party in the loft of my dorm. It's called Club Harshman and I'm really excited though I'm sure it will probably just end up being like a high school dance....(sad face)

To all my friends in college,
I hope you guys are doing okay and if you need me I'm only a message or a call away. I'm thinking about coming home for Labor Day weekend so maybe if I do we can get together and hang out.
I miss you all a ton and a half!

Last Night with my Parents

I'm in the Holiday Inn here in Bowling Green. Tomorrow I move in to my new dorm and my new life.

I don't know if I'm going to have one of those sad nights or if I'm going to be happy to be free. I guess I'll find out when I get there and to that exact moment in time. So until then I'm going just ride the wave that I"m on while I still can.

What emotion runs through you at a pivital moment like this?

I can't describe anything right now. I mean I feel so excited yet I feel as if I might break down in tears at any moment. Zeke already did and I felt like a turd but what was I supposed to do?

Today was pretty much all travel. Not that that's a bad thing. I don't mind travel, in fact I enjoy it but it's that part afterward when you're trying to settle down and you just can't that bugs me. Tonight is like that.
Grandpa Bill and Grandma Skip  met us in BG to have dinner and take Zac home with them. He'll be staying with them for two weeks but that doesn't really mean much for me.

I start band tomorrow and then on the 23rd classes start so I'm going to be busy really busy really fast.
So if I don't write in a while please don't worry. I'll be back as soon as I have a moment or two.

Besistos

I'm back!!!

Okay so I know that I haven't been on in a while but hey school was pretty crazy for a while and then for a while this summer I had two jobs. I was going nonstop with things that needed to be done and not so much things that I wanted to do.

Anyway today is one of my last days in Michigan and I'm gladly awaiting my next adventure. I'm headed off to college on Sunday the 15th and I'm sure that I'm going to have a ton to do.
I have 17 credit hours and I'm going to be on the marching band.

I know... Over achiever syndrom.

Someone should really find a way to fix that.

Anyway, I'm lining stuff up for another possible trip for Spring Semester. I'm hopiong to go somewhere I have yet to be but I will return to Chile in a heart beat if I'm given the option.

I'm going to try to keep this up to date better now that I will have internet in my dorm and all that so maybe I'll drop a note or something before I go to bed. That is if I'm not already walking dead girl from everything I'm going to be doing... like studying and marching...

Hopefully this will help mom with the seperation thing that she's going through but maybe she won't even read it at all. She has to work afterall.

To all my friends: Good luck.
I hope that you make it through life's trials with the greatest of ease but always know that if you need to talk to someone, I'm only a message away.

Besos!

School again School again Jiggidy Jig

So I'm back in Farwell.
I got home Friday after a flight cancelation to Detroit and spending the night in Chicago then finally flying in to Toledo, Ohio. Then I got to Toledo and had no luggage so that was fun and not to mention cold.
I'm still cold.

I'm in school today. Back to everything on the web being blocked for no reason at all. So no facebook or e-mail that isn't the school's. I have all college classes and an independent study class.

I don't know what else to say....

hmm...

So the post of all my blog posts in the school on the bulletin board is kind of creepy. I saw it and like wanted to scream. I would not have wrote half the stuff I did if someone had told me it was being posted. And all of those embarassing pictures....

Wow that was a blast of awkwardness.

I feel really weird today.
I'm cold.
People keep coming up to me to talk to me. Half of them I didn't realize that they knew I was alive. So now I actually have to get back in the groove of things. I feel lazy and everyone keeps going so fast. I am so tired of moving this fast already and I can barely imagine what this week will hold.

We're going to Mt. Pleasant tomorrow (Tuesday). I need new clothes....

Yeah okay so running out of time. I'm going to go get off the computer now.

New Year and all that Jazz

Happy New Year! (Late is better than never)

I've been crazy busy lately. All my friends want to do something with me since I'm going to leave tomorrow night from Chile.

With that has come a bunch of tears but I keep telling myself that it's all going to be okay and that I get to see my family soon too so it will be worth it.

New Year was fun.
They have a bunch of superstitions here. Like eating twelve grapes (one for each month of the coming year) red underwear and a spoonful of bean soup. There are more but I can't think of them all off the top of my head.
After midnight I went out to party with my friends and dance. I was out until about four in the morning and woke the next day to Janet taking pictures of me. they were actually kind of funny some of them because I had been sleeping like a rock before I noticed.

Tonight is my last night in Chile.
Tomorrow I leave with Janet and Cristian for Santiago and I leave Santiago at 10:30 tomorrow night. I'll get to Miami at 4 in the morning and wait there until 9 for a plane to Chicago.... waiting in Chicago until 3 to go to Detroit and FINALLY I'll be with my family after 5 months of being gone.

I'll write some more on here for sure after I get home so don't worry about this being the end of my trip in Chile. I did title this THE LIFE AND TIMES OF BECCA and my life's adventures aren't over yet so neither is this blog.

Cut in Two

Okay so I'm officially really really sad today.

I have a week left and I have most of my stuff packed up. I'm not sure if I'll need another bag or not. I'm a good packer and things are fitting quite nicely. I know what I'm going to wear to fly in already. In fact, I knew when I got the clothes for Christmas that I was going to wear them to fly in because they are sooooooooooooo comfortable.

I cried when I had a dream about waking up in my own bed in my own room in Michigan. It kinda scared me to think about it like that, just suddenly being there with no good byes, no I'll miss you so much. I don't know how I'm going to handle that when the time comes. In a way it's worse than coming here because I'm attached to both ends and stuck in the middle.

Okay so enough with the dramatic sad stuff.

I spent the night at a friends house this past Saturday (the 26th and 27th). We were soooo crazy. It was a ton of fun. We stayed up until like 4 in the morning watching movies and being silly and talking. It was a ton of fun.

The family and I went to La Serena yesterday (monday 28) and hung out on the beach after a lunch in the mall. I couldn't help but think that that was probably the last time I will go there.

For new year I'm getting together with friends. We're thinking about going dancing but no one is for sure yet because it's more expensive to get in and it's going to be packed every where.

Maybe we'll go the day after... just for the fun of it.

I'll try to get at least one more post in before leaving Chile. After New Year I think.
