The Adult Life

I arrived in Rexburg, Idaho on Thursday, September 12th, 2013 and I flew all by myself from Baltimore to Idaho Falls. It was somewhat scary but it was a little exciting at the same time. The first flight was from Baltimore to Salt Lake City and was a four hour flight, can I say long? On that flight I felt sick to my stomach and was super tired due to waking up at 3:30 am and not eating that much before leaving. When I first arrived into Utah, I was thinking it was super brown and dry with millions of mountains that remind me of sand. Honestly, I think Idaho looks better than Utah since it is sort of greener, however Idaho is less greener than Maryland.
Friday started "Get Connected" for freshman and all we did was meet a group of people that was called an I-Team. We then somewhat talked, went to a talent show and played some games. The talent show was amazing with really, really amazing talents. I really loved two acts which was: break dancing and magic. There was this one performance with this really, really, really good looking guy. Every girl in the audience screamed and all the guys were like, "Oh brother."
Saturday, we did more "Get Connected" stuff. Later that night the real fun stuff started which was I-Night. We all met with our I-Team and we did laser tag when we got there. While waiting in line me and this other guy did a Cake walk, well it really was a brownie walk , but anyway back to the point we only did the cake walk while the others waited in the super long line for laser tag. I won a brownie by the way. After that the others went down to do speed dating (they actually didn't do it) and I went with this girl and two guys to do rolling skating. Each of the guys had to teach us how to skate. I fell about seven times but I lived. :) That's a really good thing. After that we got some free ice cream, saw one of the guys go onto a mechanical bull and then we went to the dance. Now that dance was fun and had huge mosh pits and was just yeah. :)
Soon some of the guys from our I-Team are coming over (and maybe some girls from the I-Team?) later in the day.
College and the adult life has been an adventure so far and currently I like it. Hopefully I will feel the same about this in the next weeks to come. Tomorrow classes start and I can start my degree for communication/public relations.

New Chapter

My childhood is over. That actually sounds really depressing, but it's true and it has been over since I walked across the stage back in June to receive my high school diploma. Now, my life is really beginning. This Thursday, it actually begins with a journey out west. Am I looking forward to this journey? No, I am not. I step into a magic portal and be transported in mere seconds rather than take a really, really long flight. 

This Thursday I'm going to be a wreck and probably bawling my eyes out, super nervous and sleep deprived. You see, I have to catch my flight at 7:30 am EST and probably be up around 3:30 or 4:00 am to get ready, eat and get to the airport. Once I'm on the plane I may fall the sleep, but knowing me I will be looking out the window or reading (currently reading the Infernal Devices Trilogy and it's amazing). 

To be honest, I am so nervous about flying! The last time I have flown on airplane I was about 7 or 8 years old so it has been around 10 or 11 years. Plus, I am flying all by myself this time (um, can we say fun?). Right now my biggest fear is my luggage will be lost and that would be no bueno. 

Overall, I am excited for my new chapter in my life and I don't know where I'll end up, but I do know I am entering into the adult world quickly. I'm really looking forward to being in Idaho on Thursday and attending college out there. Meeting new people will be amazing and actually studying communications for public relations makes really excited to embark on this new journey that I am taking. One thing I am not looking forward to is unpacking (blah). 

Hopefully I can remember to update more on my adventures out in Idaho since this blog is titled "The Adventures of Kayla."
