Proud to be a Bronco!!

So, I am terribly sorry I haven't updated my blog recently. A lot has happened since my last post. I enjoyed my last week at home by packing, riding the horses, and hanging out with friends. And finally the time had come to leave for SCU!! My mom and I started the epic journey at 7:00 AM Monday and made it all the way to Redding, CA that day. The next day we drove into San Francisco. I met up with some USF friends that night and we spent some time with Lauren. The next day, we drove down to our next destination, Santa Clara! Yesterday was move in day which was simple and painless. Transfers get to move in early so our hall was very quiet when I moved in. My roommate is very nice and I think we will have a fun year! There are only four people on the floor thus far so it is kind of lonely. Last night was my first night in the dorms, and today I had orientation. I slept OK, hopefully tonight will be better. I am EXHAUSTED. It was a long, hot day full of information. We were all so tired by the end of the 90 degree day. But I got my schedule: Italian 1, Religion: Jesuits and Franciscans, World Cultures: European Art History, and Painting! I am excited and can't wait for school to start on Monday. I also went to a SCU legacy BBQ tonight, which was held in one of the many beautiful courtyards here on campus, which was fun too. I met some alumni and great people. It has been a full couple of days. Tomorrow morning I head back to SF to help Lauren move into her apartment and then, in the afternoon, orientation activities continue!! Just when I thought it was over, Welcome Weekend starts tomorrow. Should be fun though. I have started to meet a few people. The action on campus is starting to pick up. I already encountered a few drunks outside my dorm tonight. Oh dear. Well, peace out Santa Clara!
