School. Here I come.

Here I am at School. I have a dorm. A small room with 2 beds. A new roommate and a lack of having a boyfriend close. Plus everyone wants to know what I am up to. So what do you do? You create a blog everyone can laugh at now and years later... IF I am that funny. (I think it's just my face.)

Day 1
Zach picked me up around 9 and we packed, mopped about and finally left around 10. Stopped at Arby's (After Zach saw a Highway Billboard and started thinking Arby's [how ironic]) We finally made it here around 11:30. We began bringing boxes in. My Bishop was there helping us move in, Bishop Harmon thought Zach was my Dad. *Teehe* So I moved in put my signs and pictures up all around and settled in. No roomie...yet. My Mother and sisters came and enjoyed seeing my small dorm room. Yeah. After a very sad parting and many kisses I went and got a free hamburger (Free food is ALL THE RAGE at college. I swear were all starved. Upps just heard my tummy shrink) Then went and watched a dorm saturday movie night of "Tommyboy" Very hilarious. Stake dance afterwards. Mostly standing around. I wanted to meet some new people so I went around introducing myself. I recieved many strange looks. Ended up dancing with a guy named Preston. He wanted to dance a swing, and me having 2 left feet tried to follow and succssesfully got hit in the head with an elbow. I finally climbed in bed at midnight, and was awoken at 6 am but a brilliant sun in my eyes coming through my window. Talk about and enlightening awakenment.
Which would lead us to...

Day 2
Woke up twice before Manda knocked on my door and told me to get up and get ready for church. Church in my mind is the equvillant to the time in my week where I must learn patiences. I really hate sitting in a hard backed chair listening to six speakers. uhwell. it was a stake conference of 2hours. I took a 3 hour nap afterwards. Woke up starving. Ate my mothers delicious granola. Hung with Cassie B. and Manda B. and was hungry again. I ended up at walmart getting food-- cursing myself because I should never shop when I am hungry. I only for ramen, mac and cheese and bread with PB and J. I got home and learned I have a roommate. She seems really nice. Thank goodness not a molly mormon and I believe she is a tongan. She didn't stay the night so I am stuck here with my lap top. It could be enjoyable but I have nothing to do. I am still in my twilight zone. I can't believe I am here. I miss my mom, and my little brothers. I didn't really get to say goodbye. I miss my support Zach. I miss food. Uh well. One day at a time. I love you all.

This is Mara. Heading into tommorrow with a smile. Missing you all. I LOVE YOU ALL.

  1. Sounds like you're surviving. I'm so glad I sent you off with granola so you don't fade away to a grease spot. Do the RAs have a fridge you could use in the office? I think of you always and pray for your health and wellness and wealth! I love you so much!
