Catching up!

Well it's been forever since my last blog and a lot has happened so this might be a long post. After my move-in weekend I worked in Statesboro and saw Mom and Dad in Cordele for the next week and a half. 

On the 26th Samantha and I headed to Atlanta to stay with our best friend Laura Lyn for a few fun activities.
1st on the list - VIP Kings of Leon tickets!!! It was AMAZING! Samantha and I got the tickets as a last hoo-rah/graduation gift thing to enjoy before splitting up at the end of the summer and it was well worth it! Laura Lyn and our friend Whitley also had tickets so we all got to tailgate together in our VIP parking spot :)

Our view. So much better than trying to see over people!
2nd on the list - Girls night out in Atlanta. This was only mine and Samantha's 2nd time going out and it was just as fun as the first!

:) I found this picture in my phone. Samantha learned a few DJ-ing tricks that night!


That Friday, we all headed to Cordele and that Saturday we hung out with Laura Lyn's brother Robert for his birthday. It was a lot of fun and by the end of the night everyone had put costumes on (the boys were a little more enthusiastic about it lol).

The next week was very chill. I stayed in Cordele with Mom and Dad and I got to hang out with LaPorte, Chad, and Drew a few times. It was so nice to hang out with everyone before leaving for Columbia.


Friday, I met Matthew and his best friend Brandon in Atlanta. We all packed in my car and drove 4 hours to Madison, AL where Matthew's mom lives. I haven't seen her in a year so it was GREAT to catch up and spend time with her. We only got to stay until Sunday so it was a very short vacation. On my way back to Columbia, I stopped in Augusta, GA to see Erica (a best friend that I had every class with at Georgia Southern) and her new place. She started medical school at the Medical College of Georgia (or whatever its new name is) so she's only an hour away from me. It's comforting to know she's close. 


Which brings me to today. I had my chemistry program orientation. I was SUPER nervous to meet everyone and learn what my schedule was going to be but everything went fine. There's around 20 new graduate students and they were all nice. It looks like I'll have class 3 days a week and I'll be teaching too. In the following weeks I'll be picking an adviser/research group to join. 


So that's about it. Sorry this was so long! I'll try and update more often! Until next time :)
