My mom and I left my dads house around 6 a.m..the drive was 156 miles to Canton/Akron and then 74 miles to Mansfield from there. I was on a very tight schedule because I had to be at campus for the work study orientation by 10. I made it though..I brought all of my bed stuff from my dads house plus some new storage and just other little random things I needed..When I had moved in on thursday..I really did not unpack anything..I just kind of set my stuff down and went to Toledo..so once I got back from orientation, I started organizing and getting everything together.
My roomie Jillian came in and I just said.. "look, we need to talk about the bed situation.." and she said "well, can you honestly tell me you hate that bunk THAT much?" and I straight up said yes, and it is for a number of reasons..a lot having to do with convenience because of her schedule..so we switched..woot.
Dropping my mom off was hard. I held back a lot..I knew it was coming so I prepared myself mentally and emotionally..I did cry pretty hardcore in the car once I had dropped her off though..But I just keep thinking..its only a few months and then I am back home for Christmas, you know? It's like an extended summer camp. A year round really long one. haha..
I met all of my other roomies, including the 24 year old grad student..I was VERY wrong about her. She is actually really cool..so I am stoked. The other roomie Amanda is really nice too. One girl did not show up..so we don't know whats going on..if someone else is moving into her room or if she is just coming late..? We'll see.
Okay so here are some photos of my car and how insanely packed it was. (give me some kudos here...those are some extraordinary packing skilllllzzz). haha
My dorm room is now finally all organized for the most part. Me and Jillian might add some curtains and also curtains to the closet..our closet doors are mysteriously missing... (...?). haha..so thats that.
woot woot. Sorry for so many photos!

I don't think I gave you this photo, so here is one from one of the best nights I've had in forever...
PHOTO!
This is a printable version. One of these days, I'll get the rest of the photos from that night to you. Including my favorite funky shot of you with Mirko and My Michael.
I hope you're having fun!
Hey Casey,
I am enjoying reading your blog on the start of college life! You should keep track of it all, you have a talent for writing and you could write a book of funny do's and don'ts at some point. Do spend time missing everyone, you'll see them all again soon and the friends that you make now will become just as important to you (believe me I've moved so much that I am speaking from experience).
Have a good one
Love Joanne
ooops, that should have said DON'T spend time missing everyone, probably should have proof read it huh
Great Pics!!! I don't think you would be able to fit anything else in that car!
