A Fresh Start...

So I am basically thrilled about school. This morning I woke up and thought that next Saturday couldn't come soon enough. I pretty much realized that I really have an exciting time ahead of me. Brittany and I were talking the other day when we were at lunch saying how college is going to be our time. We didn't really have it in high school, maybe second semester of senior year, but we didn't live it up as much as we probably could have, but now we are living it up! And I realized that I am starting with a completely clean slate. No one at school has a previous impression of me, or have heard something about me from someone, or remember me for something dumb I did when I was in 5th grade. No one will know any of the crazy stupid mistakes I have made. Its not that I intend to completely reinvent myself when I go to school like some people do. I intend to become a better version of myself. I am giving myself permission daily, hourly, to begin again because God gives me opportunities, daily and hourly, to begin again, to start fresh. Leaving Ojai the way I am, without as strong of a friend base as I have had in the past is probably the best thing for me, because I really want to make friends. I want to and am ready to be the one who introduces herself first, who leaves her door open, who puts herself out there. (My secret plan is just to be the one with lots of food, then everyone will love me, right? hehe) But seriously, opportunities like this, starting totally fresh, won't come around again very often. I think its something special thats going on. I am ready for whatever God has in store for me, I know that everything, me going to Mt St Mary's, my unknown roommate, not having a car for a while, is all a part of his plan and I cannot wait to see how it all fits into His perfect plan.
