Look! On the horizon...It's...ETSU!

What emotion can I use to describe the onset of college this Thursday? I'm excited, nervous, depressed, relieved, and worried at the same time. Of course my slight depression does come from another reason: all of my friends are either gone or back in school. My best friend Ryan Cury returned to high school last Wednesday for his senior year. We spent so much time togetehr this summer doing the most fun things and now it has come to an end. No more late nights out. AND I'm moving to Johnson City so that eliminates seeing him on a regular basis. All of my otehr high school friends are going away to college too, and so the recent days are spent packing and preparing, so I haven't been able to see them and probably won't for a while, maybe even never again. That might be a good thing though. Totally submerging myself with a new group of people. But there are friendships here I want to keep, and will, like that with Ryan. But some of them I think I need to get rid of for my growth and overall health!
But moving out into my own place will be a fun adventure. I have a private dorm and bought a french press coffee maker. Combined with my P.C. and high speed internet access I'm all set ofr a nice year! But the the classes...ugh! I'm sure it will be much better than I'm giving it credit, but I'm going in blindly at the moment. So we'll see in a few weeks how classes are and if I like them or not. My two fun classes are stagecraft and theatre lab, which is basically just bitch work for the theatre departement. But that's just fine with me 'cause it's what I love to do. I plan on making my dorm wonderful! I got a new T.V. as well, but I'm not sure I'll be watching it that much, except on weekends.
The clock keeps ticking and I'm getting more nervous and excited as the time draws near. So much anticipation mixed with curiosity makes for weird emotions, I think. So we'll see how the future falls into place and what becomes of my freshman year. I look forward to a prosperous time!
