I met my room mate a few weeks ago. Thankfully, she is really nice! We have a lot in common and i'm excited to meet her in person. I'm so glad that at least one part of the uncertainty going on is settled.

I left Colorado a few days ago. We had to get up at the insane hour of 3am to make it to the airport. So, when I finally got into Jackson, and drove to our new house, I slept for the rest of the day.
The day after, I went to College Orientation. I met a few people (most of whom live around here). When I told people I moved from Idaho, a few said " Oh, is that where they're having the floods?" (That would be Iowa...) When I registered for classes for the Fall, a lot of them were full. So, I dont have the most desirable schedule. I have a few night classes (ewww). After choosing classes, as I was attempting to find my next destination across campus, I got myself lost about a mile from where I was supposed to be. I finally realized I wasnt on campus any more when I saw residential housing around me. haha So, that was my first experience at my new College. But I think I'm going to like it there. even the dorm rooms will be cute once we get some personal stuff and carpet in there.
But, I actually dont know what to think about the town itself. Its small and the weather is hot and humid. Ive been a little down about all the stress thats going on. I havent left the house more than a few times. I just dont really have a desire to see anything here. I dont really want to be here. I miss home. Its hard to come to terms with the idea that this is my new "home".
Its also been difficult finding friends. I met a few people at orientation, but I wish I could find good friends. The church we tried this morning dosent have a very good young adult group. And I dont know for sure if I want to attend there (though my family seems to like it). I dont really want to go somewhere without my family, but I just dont like that one much.
Maybe its just because I miss home. Maybe its because no where can be exactly like my old life. Its hard to move on, and to be expected to do so very quickly.
Some things I have missed about living in the south have been authentic sweet tea, thunderstorms, big trees, and "ya'll". But the cockroaches, big spiders and humidity...I can live without.
I'm sure when I get settled, when I get a good base here, that i'll like it better. Right now its hard to see the hope in it though.
