I made it through an entire week!!!

So I've been here at UAB for a little over a week now. It hasn't been terrible...I'm actually starting to like it :) Things haven't changed much though, I'm still missing everyone and wishing I could have things my way; however, I have just accepted that things are going to be different. I have recently realized that I'm going through a life experience that will help me in the future!!! (yeah I actually learned something). I have always been that type of person who tries to make everyone happy and when someone tells me that all I'm doing is hurting that person rather than helping them...it hurt my feelings. I began to question my decisions and if it really was hurting the situation rather than making it better; however, I learned that sometimes I just have to do what is best for me & our relationship. I know what God has planned and promised me. I have confidence in myself and us. This "situation" will also help me in the future. Ministry is a hard field to be in and everyone is not going to agree with the decisions we will make. I just have to learn that sometimes (not all the time) I have to do what is best for me.

So just to fill you in on my roommates....there is Pearl, Shelby, and Taylor Ann.

Pearl is my actual roomy, she is a complete nut :) She is so nice...but don't be fooled b/c she will cut you (inside thing). Pearl is one of those girls who you know will always have your back. She makes fun of me because she has experienced my "sleep talking." Apparently, I woke up last night and yelled "FIREWORKS" ( don't ask?) and then the other night I said, "Shut up, Brianna." (sorry Nonnie?).

Shelby is one of my suite mates and her giggle box turns on at approximately 7:00 p.m. & when it does it is non-stop laughter. I actually just got finished watching her pop popcorn for almost 30 minutes. Our microwave is kinda broken (already) and she had to keep turning it back on and on and on to get the popcorn to actually pop. Probably the most entertaining thing I have seen all week :)

Taylor Ann calls me her mini-me. We are a lot alike...we even have the same comforter :) She actually broke her foot the other day and is in a boot and crutches now (suckish). She is very outgoing and is always up for anything. She is a cheerleader for UAB and always knows how to make you smile. She is very sweet and I think we will get alone great!!!
