Welcome Home

So I am in my new apartment now and it is beautiful.  I am so happy.  I apparently did a terrible job packing, but with the help of my wonderful friends, we got it all moved out in two hours.  Jealous? haha I kid, but we actually did.  My family came today to help me put up pictures and see the place, which was really nice.  I love them so much.  I always have and always will.  I feel so spoiled, and not because they support me with skating and school and my living arrangements.  I feel that way, because they are literally the best family I could ever ask for.  I'm still young, but when you're a kid...you never realize those things.  I always hid my problems, but now I can tell them anything.  It's the way it should be.  Obviously no family is perfect...but believe me...we (mostly my brother and I)..laugh at our imperfections.  So I was like obsessed with daschunds or "weenie dogs" for the longest time.  My parents housewarming gift was a stuffed weenie dog...I named him Frank.  Get it? haha. Well anyway...he's like my new best friend...he's chillin' next to me right now.  He's actually a valentine's day stuffed animal, so he has like a heart on his butt.  Valentine's day...for the record...is a joke.  I just don't understand it.  One day designated to your loved one...defined by the gift you give them.  Stupid.  I never want to and never will celebrate Valentine's Day, but I will write all about that later.  On another note...school starts on Monday?!  This semester is going to be so strange.  I am taking five classes...none of them being science, which is a first! I'm excited, but a little skeptical.  I am taking Introduction to Political Science, International Relations, Italian Baroque Art, Computers Ethics and Society, and Studies in Jewish Literature.  I feel like I should win a prize for the most random classes ever.  I'm not buying my books till I experience each of these classes...just in case ;).  Well I need to get back in school mode like asap.  I'm still a little wound up from coming back from nationals and moving...I totally forgot that I have to be smart again.  Welcome back to reality.  It's time for college and training. Here we go...
