Every day I tell myself that there's a bigger world out there, in every sense.

Last night was the first night

it hit me

I leave for Purdue in 11 days.

Gone will be the close comforts of home, friends, and family. I'll be alone with a few aquaintances in a rather large college campus. I move in Saturday morning, my roomate Sunday morning. A week of meeting hundreds of new people (never my strong suit), and then we're back into school. Calculus, physics..... stuff I'm nervous about remembering. I actually couldn't sleep for a bit, because I stayed up thinking about everything.

But I made some small steps today. Working on a pre-order form so that all my required class books are waiting for me at my dorm. I think I'm gonna go buy my computer tomorrow (maybe David can help?). Went shopping with mom and bought some of my stuff I need for my dorm (including a small fridge, towels, snacks, and some other misc. stuff). Saw Andy at Wall-Mart and was told by the saleswoman at Dillard's that I look too young to be going to college in less than two weeks. How young? She told me I look 15. *sigh*

I guess I'm just anxious that I'm finally going to college, that's all.
