The Clock is Winding Down

Tick... tock... tick... tock... Almost time for school to start! I have two weeks until I leave and the panic attack (I am told everyone has one) still hasn't shown up. I am getting nerves for the nerves, honestly I am not sure how that works. It will probably hit after mom leaves me alone at the apartment by myself. If that is the case, pray for whomever is sharing a room with me because it will not be pretty. I don't cry often, but when I do... well... let's hope everyone is spared my blotchy face melt down.

However, I am having a box crisis. I cannot seem to find any decent sized boxes, all the big ones seem to have vanished. I am pretty sure all the people who are currently moving or have left before I have stole them all. (You know who you are.) Guess what guys! I am moving using shoe boxes! (Or so it feels like anyway. Maybe I will go box hunting tonight.)

Along with leaving for school come all the BYUI jokes. "BYU-I DO! RING BY SPRING!!"
No. Just no. I remember having a conversation with a woman in my ward and telling her the reason behind my choice in going to this school was to get an education. The look of surprise that crossed her face is a look I will never forget.
"When I went to school there the girls went to get their MRS. Degree."
To be honest, I had no idea what to think of that. Personally, the idea of getting married doesn't appeal me one bit (in fact it annoys me). I feel like I have a few major things to do before I even consider the idea. Finding guys I like has nothing to do with it. It just doesn't feel like the right thing for me, yet.

All of my books finally showed up and I wasted no time in cracking them open to see what I was dealing with. Holy massive words! My first order of business was to make flash cards of words I did not understand, it is worse than AP government. But I guess this is what I get for pursuing a medical career. Scientific mumbo jumbo that I have not dealt with since I was a junior (HELP ME FORENSIC SCIENCE!!).

But I am excited! I am excited to see people I haven't seen in years and very excited for this new adventure. :D
