Flippin the script...
Ok, so I went to get me room at college the other day. It was a long, and exhausting process. I stood in lines forever. It seems that everythings going to work out though. I was a little concerned and fearful of the unknown, but my roomate seems really cool, and everything! So I stood in line for a really really long time...which translates to "building character." So I guess you could say I built a lot of character in one day :-P I'm still really stressed out since I have to meet all new people and basically start life over. Moving to a new place is a pain in the ass. Everytime I move I have a bad case of culture shock. Those of you out there who get to stay in one place are very fortunate. Lucily along the way I've always managed to find a friend who understands how I feel because they have had similar life experainces. Everything that I've been through has made me the person that I am...and I'm able to understand when people are different. They may talk different(much like my crazy accent), act different(being raised in a differnt city from the majority), or even look different(being the only black girl in a school that was 99%white). I guess you could say I've seen it all...but now I face another challege in life...college. Not just any college though...the first all black school I've been to in years...or even EVER! Some may wonder why I've made this decision...and sometimes I ask myself the same thing. It was something I had to do, and an experiance I had to have. Damn though...sometimes I wonder what I get myself into. One day I'm going to be able to show my kids pictues and tell them stories about my life and they are going to think I had such a wierd time growing up. I know one things for sure...when I have those kids one day...I'm going to make sure they have a stable environment, to grow up in, and they're going to stay there until they graduate highschool...cause moving all the time sucks! I thank God for getting me through this though, cause sometimes I don't know what the heck I'm doing. So for anyone who reads this be sure to accept people for who they are...cause damn it...all you people out there who judge people just cause they're a little bit different...STOP! It's not cool! It's getting late here, and I'm pretty tired, so I'm going to go head off to bed! Hope everything goes well tomorrow...it's orientation day:-O ...And by the way...check back for some pics coming soon. When I get some free time I'll be posting some!

Anne,
I am so very excited for you to be entering your first year at SOuthern. I think I miss you more already because of this fact. I am really hoping sometime down the line in our college careers we can move closer or even go to the same school! That would make me sooo happy! Anyway, have a GREAT first year I am looking forward to talking to you thru the experiance. And seeing you next summer! Or how's about a thanksgiving visit to Baton Rouge I'll DO IT! Love always
- Allen
