Getting Started...

Hello Gang,

I had an abundant amount of people ask me to keep them informed on my daily life here in Thatcher, AZ. Not everybody has Facebook or Twitter, my email or Cell #, so why not start a blog, that way everyone is happy and satisfied. Alright well now that we got that covered let me get you up to date.

I am officially moved in. My parents were kind enough to drive the 14 hour distance to help me start my new adventure. And let me tell ya, I am so happy they didn't make me hitch hike. That would have been interesting... Yes the weather here is hotter than Utah, but for the past couple of days it has rained. Yes rained, like thunder and lightning rain. It's awesome to watch. My parents stopped by my apartment this morning to say their final goodbyes, I walked out sleepily in my snoopy boxers and white tank top. Was I embarrassed? No, not a bit. This is me, get used to it. But anyways...We hugged and said goodbye. I know my parents are going to have a rough time getting used to me being in a different state. They both began to cry, and I almost felt bad because I wasn't. Is that a bad sign? It is going to be different without them around and not seeing any of my siblings as frequently, but I am strong and I am ready to take on this new adventure!

Oh...for those of you who just happened to find this blog or don't have any idea why I am in Arizona, let me briefly explain...tennis scholarship. When I say brief I mean brief. Ha Ha just kidding....I was offered a tennis scholarship to a two year college down here in Thatcher. After long deliberation I decided to accept the offer. So far, I am happy with my choice.

So back to my story... One question that a lot of people asked me before I left was, "What are you most nervous or scared for?" My reply would usually be, "Umm...I'm not really sure...I guess being away from home and not having my parents around." Believe me that is true, but what was really going through my head was, "Who am I going to get to cut my hair?!" Ah you may laugh, but this is a serious matter. I have short hair and I love it. My usual 'do' is a fohawk. (yes I'm a girl, no I'm not gay) When my hair gets long, I don't know what to do with it, it gets all weird. For those of you with long hair, I know what you are thinking, "Your hair is short, easy to do, why do you always get a hair cut, It's short!" How many times have I heard that statement, lets just say to many to count on all my 11 fingers. For those of you with short hair, you know my predicament, so thanks for agreeing with me. I might just have to cut it myself. How hard can it be?

Things are actually going really well for me. I feel at home here. I'm not really nervous or anxious. But that could definitely change. School does start on Monday, but tennis starts soon after, so I'm not too worried as long as I keep myself busy and on the teacher's good sides, I should be fine right? Lets at least hope so.

Is it weird for me to say that I am actually getting cold sitting here in the library? I'll soon walk outside and wish I was back inside. I am sitting at a table in the library, with my laptop and some headphones jammed inside my ears. Little do the people who sit down, walk by or even the ladies at the front desk know...I'm not even listening to anything.

For those of you who are going to be frequent followers, don't worry I will try to keep you up to date and possibly, if you are lucky, post some pictures and videos. Well...I'm sorta getting hungry and my battery is slowly lowering in life. So I'm going to leave you folks in anticipation awaiting for the next adventurous post, and head home to make me up a delicious Cup of Noodles.
