Okay, so maybe I lied a little bit. Well, not intentionally. Las Vegas was fantastic. I had tons of fun, got to party with a bunch of nerds, and even got stalked for the majority of the trip. There’s something spendidly tacky about Las Vegas, as we passed by many a drive-thru wedding chapels (and, in turn, drive-thru divorces down the street). I never thought I’d truly know the meaning of “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” and now I can tell you: I totally do. (There are way too many incriminating pictures of me now, let’s just say that.)

College, on the other hand, is fantastic and sucky at the same time. It’s fantastic because I’ve been wanting to go to college since I was thirteen years old, I love being in college and going to classes. It sucks because I’m taking eighteen hours of classes, which is kicking my ass. It’s not excessively hard, nothing that I can’t handle, but it just requires a lot more effort than I originally thought (which was naïve at most).  I still get to see Charles and Hannah on more than one occasion, and I’ve been working out like crazy (two hours, four times a week).

Now that I have a leg up on my peers — I have yet to meet one that is taking nearly as many classes as I am — I can take it easy next semester, maybe only take fourteen hours. It would still be a lot more than my peers, most of the girls in my dorm are only taking about 10 to 12 hours.

Anyway, must get off to my Survey Mass Communication class. I promise I’ll blog about something way more interesting than my life.

2 days until I’m off to Las Vegas, Nevada. This will be my first flight without my parents, so I am a bit nervous on having to do everything myself: drive to the airport, pay for parking, park, get to the plane in time. Oh, and all at 4:00am, since my flight doesn’t leave until 6:00am.

I’m super stoked though. It’s SOE’s Fan Faire, a game convention for their MMOs. So I’m gonna see tons of Storm Troopers, Jedis, and Princess Leias, I’m sure, due to SOE’s Star Wars Galaxies (regardless of how much it sucks now). I’m going to have tons of pictures with me posing.

I have no wiggle room for time, though. Five days after I get back from Vegas, I move into my dorm, and three days after that, I start classes. I am so nervous — mainly that I’m forgetting something, that I’m missing an item from my list of must-haves. I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten everything on my list, including the small, last-minute things like toothpaste and laundry detergent. Any tips on something I should bring to my dorm, something most people don’t think of until they get there? Throw it out there for me!

I’ll be sending my love in Vegas, and much posting will ensue.
