So, a lot has happened since I have arrived. Where to start?

Lets start with Accelerate! I will be a bit vague with this, only telling the basic info, so bare with me.

This is my Accelerate group. We did a lot of adventures and had lots of fun getting to know each other. It was nice getting a head start on meeting new people. The variety of people here was amazing as well. No one was alike. It was a great group lead by an awesome leader (Zach Shelley, front row white shirt). I would recommend this program to everyone going off to college!

(our accelerate group hanging out. Zach found an unused wheelchair and was driving around in it!)


While at Accelerate, we met several inspirational speakers. one of which was a quadriplegic named Kyle Maynard. He was the author of the book "No Excuses," with the story of him growing up in his condition. He later went on to became the first man to crawl on his own to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro. After an awesome talk, I got a pic with him!

After Accelerate, I went to Walmart to buy some things I still needed and was greeted by Wally-world in an awesome way!

And after a fun time of playing capture the flag- nerf style, I went and splashed my feet in frog baby's pond, which is a tradition!

Thanks to my brother, Jake, I found myself a church called Revolution. The service was amazing and I enjoyed their lessons. Afterwords, we had a picnic and I got into a small group.

Now I am in classes. The first day was easy in finding my classes, but today (day two) did not go as smoothly trying to find the classes. I would suggest everyone finding their classes before school starts, that way they don't get lost like I did! 

Overall, I have had an eventful week and a half, and I can't believe how fast it has gone by. I have made many friends, gone to every event I could, found clubs to join, and even got an interview for the job I really wanted, which has a good chance of being mine! I got to say, though, I miss my baby-girl Sandie (my dog). I need my fluffy puppy to cuddle with. 

I am also already getting tired of eating out. I have been craving my parent's home cooking for a few days now (especially Mom's grilled t-bone steaks... Mmmmm....)

Anyway, long update is long...
So until next time, PEACE OUT!!

Thank you for visiting my blog!
Until next time,
