Beach life

Soooo, I have had a bunch of friends and family tell me it's a good idea to keep a journal or diary when I moved down here since this is my first experience moving away, a lot has changed in the last year of my life, and I'm living at the beach & it'd be neat to remember all the memories! Well, I hate writing on paper and typing is quicker so here we are. Plus, I write things in a diary and get mad at myself later for writing them and rip the page out and then the diary is all ruined and this is just easier. If you read this, be prepared for my scatter brained thoughts and run on sentences and fragments. This is a blog literally about my brain so get ready.

My first night down here was Saturday the 17th. Aunt Jenny & Mom moved me down here and I was dreading the moment for them to leave. I walked into my tiny slummy prison cell of a room and teared up and said I do not want to do this anymore so Mom said alright the option is yours...we can pack up and head home or we can pray and you can do this which I elected for the second option. This is more than a summer living at the beach to me. It's a growing and life changing experience personally for me. I absolutely believe God has perfect timing and has a plan for my life! Ok, enough emotions.

So far, I have worked twice and loved it. I pretty much have to be a walking bartender (Which is obviously expected) but for anyone who knows me, I do not know the first thing about drinks and what goes with what! So, I gotta study up on that. I also joined a beach softball league and our first game is June 2nd! I can't wait for that :-) I also went to Delaware and filled out an application for volunteering under the activities director. The director came out to meet me and said she'd call to set up a date for an interview so fingers crossed for that! I am planning to go to the Presbyterian church Sunday as they are supposed to be one of the most upbeat, contemporary churches down here. So, yeah, joined a softball league, volunteering, church, and work... that's my summer!

I've met a bunch of people and everyone is really friendly so that helps me not be so homesick! However, everyone is a local here and I think they secretly think I act like a tourist... I mean, I don't know for sure..but they look at me like I'm nuts when I say lets go walk on the beach over a party.... guess I'm not the typically 21 year old... I'm still figuring it out. :-) I am going to make a summer bucket list and make the girls here do it with me one way or another! Gotta give to get I suppose. This is such college!

 I feel like I've already been living here a month and not just a week as so much has happened. I am trying to set up mailing, banking, laundry, and pay bills which has been the not so fun parts of t his past week. I am also laying on the beach for roughly 2 hours every day and running at least once a day. I am so barbaric down here and eat food right out of the can. When I do move home, I will never take my personal bathroom or kitchen for granted again. I miss baking & my kitchenaide!

Okay, well I am off to go for a run and work on this bucket list so I can start scratching things off! :-)
