Week One

Well everyone I did it. I've made it past week one! I never thought I'd really every do this move, but here I am. After I got done writing my post for last week I had to take my mom to the airport. That was probably the hardest part of this whole week. Seeing my mom leave & knowing that I wasn't going back home with her. I've been to Reno a few times for a couple of days, but never for good. My mom & I are very close. She's always been there for me even when no one else was. So when I finally dropped her off I was not ready at all. I didn't think I'd cry, but anyone who knows me knows I'm a crybaby. I've been that way since I was a little girl so it will probably never change. As I pulled up to the airport it finally hit me. My mom was really leaving me here by myself. By this time I had to put on my sunglasses so that no one would stare at me crying. We hugged & said our goodbye's & that was the end of that. As I'm leaving the airport I got pulled over by a highway patrol car & was asked if I knew I was going 30 in a 15. I of course told him I was new & didn't know my way around & the guy must have felt bad for me since I was bawling my eyes out that he thankfully let me go. During this week though I have made 1 new friend. Yay for me :) I have a few friends up here, but not near as many as I do back home, but I like being able to go around town & not know anyone. I'm a mystery for now, & I'll keep it that way for a little while. What I can say though is that I miss my dogs like crazy! At least my mom facetimes me so that I can see Lola & Doodle every couple of days. I miss having my dogs :/ Not having to fight for space on my own bed is weird to me. My mom has already tried to get me to fly home for Labor Day, but I figured I'd wait it out until I'm really homesick. I think if my mom had her way she'd fly me home every weekend. I do know so far though that this move was probably the best thing I've ever done. It's nice to be able to spread my wings away from my parents, my family, & everything I know. I think everyone should move out of their hometowns at least once. It's not for everyone, but I think in this moment in my life it's what I need. I need to learn to by myself without anyone else's input. This week I went & checked out my new school, Tmcc. I've been here 2 times before, but I never really got to walk around the school so my new friend Mary & I walked around, found our classes, got books, & hung out. That school is 10 times bigger than good ol Nsc. Which btw Nevada State College pretty much stinks, I've been waiting a month to get my english scores from them & they never get back to me. I've gotten lost a few times this week again, but hey I'll learn. I talk to Corey every single day & I've even facetimed Monyca & Rae bear, which makes me happy. I can't wait until October though because Corey & Monyca will be coming up here for Nevada day :) I can't wait to show them around once I finally know this city like I do good ol Hendo. Today I went & had lunch with one of my guy friends from high school at this place called Great Basin Brewing Co. He just moved up here in March so it's nice having a friend from Las Vegas up here as well to hangout with. The one thing I don't like about Reno is that everything is a 20 minute drive! In Henderson everything I wanted was within 10 minutes of me pretty much. All I know is I'm so happy with the decision I made & I can't wait to see where this adventure takes me. I will be writing again next week just so that I can keep my Aunt J in the loop this time. She facetimed me & made sure I knew that she found out I was moving because of my blog post. Sorry Aunt J! Tomorrow I start school back up & I'm slightly nervous, but hopefully it'll be fun. I will let you all know next week.
