Belhaven college- BC

So, here I am in good old Mississippi. I'm actually finding myself talking with more of a southern accent than I have ever used in my entire life. Anyways, classes start tomorrow. yay. Not taking too many this semester, mainly dance classes and the world view curriculum that all the freshmen take. I got my phone back. yay. I'd left it at home, but nice Mrs. Gwaltney mailed it to me. My roommate is nice. She's friendly and we get along together. She eats my food, but thats my only complaint and she's offered me several things so, i feel like we're back to even. I havn't taken pictures yet. I need to. But I'm pretty much settled in. Got my local phone, my cell phone, my internet, my books, and I'm working on the transcript that I forgot previously. Yesterday all the freshmen went to Twin Lakes and bowling that night. I'm still horrible at bowling, but I did better than I did in Japan. So I'm sortof maybe kindof improving. I lost the first game, but I beat one person in the second so thats good. THere were so many of us that there weren't enough shoes so we all bowled barefoot or in socks. Always good. Yup, this college is not the kind of christian college with lots of rules. You can pretty much do what you want, but there are more christians around and Christian opportunities. So that's about what I wanted. I wonder who is in my classes.... hmmm....
anyways, I'm going off into the wide blue yonder....
I'll come again another day

of to mississippi

I finished packing!!! I'm so happy. I didn't really pack at all until today so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to pack my life into bags and cart it down stairs. I still havn't seen if it'll fit in the car, but I can make it fit. Tonight is my last night at home. 18 years... thats a long time here. Very familiar and comfortable and generally safe. My beautiful room of two years. Cozy and comfy. decorated as much as a feel like I want to decorate it. Oh, I forgot to bring the bullatin board. Anyways, mom's home so I'm gonna go downstairs... love you all, and the more you comment the more I'll post. hehe. So I'm off to college. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement.

Japan

Sooo.... here I am still in Japan. it:s almost 24:00 according to this computer. I]m having sooo much fun. Nobu is absolutely hilarious. man, i just about died of laughter today. so today we went to a castle from 1600 something. it was awesome. there were gardens and walls and towers and huge buildings with awesome roofs and everything. you have to take off your shoes to go in the buildings. i almost died from lack of liquids though b/c it:s almost as hot and almost as humid as the US and we were walking around all day.

the showers and toilets here are in seperate rooms and the shower is basically this room that you go in and there is a shower head on a hose thing. it actually makes a lot of sense that way and i like it. some places are a lot nicer than others though. anyways, its according to this computer 0:04, so I:m gonna go...
