College!

I moved in last night into my dorm room at UNF.
And everything pretty much went like this picture looks..chaotic.

It was a long drive..

..with two car loads FULL of stuff..



But my room mate is great and we are going to get along just fine!

Being away is going to be a big change.. I love you all and hope to see you soon!

"I Am"

As I was packing the few last minute items of my room this morning I found my anthology project from my English class four years ago. It was basically a huge scrapbook I had to put together about my life. In the mess of it all, I found this poem. Written on January 1,2004:

"I Am"

I am a woman who wants to grow old in happiness
I wonder why there is an age limit on love
I hear myself screaming on the inside to come out
I see people throw their lives away everyday
I am a woman who wants to grow old in happiness

I pretend I don't know things I do
I feel the people who hurt you the most are the ones you love
I touch the clouds as I reach for the stars
I worry about the people who are not usually thought about
I cry in an attempt to release an unknown emotion
I am a woman who wants to grow old in happiness

I understand more than I should
I say what I think and believe
I dream of finding the person that matters most
I try to accomplish more than what is humanly possible
I hope to beat the odds and live my life as God wants me to
I am a woman who wants to grow old in happiness
