The first days as a UAB Blazer

My journey began in Nashville, Tn and 3 1/2 hours later I moved in my dorm room at UAB. My Mom, Dad, Brianna, Aunt D, and Shayne helped settle me into my new home. We took a trip to Walmart & then it was goodbye time. I actually took the goodbye a lot better than I intended, well for the most part.
Then the next day I slept in and went out with some of my new friends to Target then went and ate mexican :) When I got back into my dorm I went and bought my school books (which are very expensive by the way...$380). My suitemates and I decided to go get something to eat later that night at the Commons on the Green. They are really sweet :) We also had our floor meeting and discussed all kinds of rules and stuff. I am not really enjoying my sleeping arrangements...the bed absolutely SUCKS!!!! It is too small, squeaky and hard as a rock :( Then to top it all off their are sirens going off all hours of the night and the dang dumpster guys are banging things around early in the morning. Not a big fan of that either!!!
Today I had to get up at 7:00 a.m. to get my computer ready for the UAB wifi network thing and then I crashed again after it was finished. I had a book discussion today for Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder. It wasn't as awful as I thought it was going to be; however, it lasted 4 hours!!! Well I just got back in from eating at the Commons on the Green again and now I'm hanging out in my room watching Family Guy :)
There are a couple things I have learned just from being here a couple days:
1.) Walking shoes are important when you have to walk a lot.
2.) I'm not doing enough to help out this world & really want to fix that.
3.) I need to get involved in more activities but I'm scared I'm going to get involved in the wrong crowd.
4.) When I don't have a job, I'M BROKE!!!
5.) Immaturity will ALWAYS conquer & there is no avoiding drama.

Well I should be updating this soon to let you know how my classes go. I have 4 this Wednesday!!! I'm kinda excited about my nursing class :)
