....for Minnesota in an hour. I'm really really nervous...I don't want to grow up...and I'll be on my own in college...so scaaaary... I need hugs. :( Also. My blog landed me a student writer job with the university! :laugh: I have to write features about other students' achievements, and they get sent to the student's hometown's newspaper and community newsletter. And some of my stories will be on community events and will go into my college town's newsletter...maybe I'll get to go to some events for free! ;) Wish me luck....

Dude. Don't scare me like that >_> first off, *hugs* you'll be fine. College is awesome, you'll love it. Second, you'd be surprised (probably) how not-weird it is not living at home. You'll be so busy you won't have time to freak out. Also, YAY! That's super aweseom!

Minnesota? That's where Linkara is!!!

*hugs* You'll do great Sam!! :)

*bearhugs* I know you'll do great... No more worrying!

I'm studying business (though the first two years will be general education courses and I don't do much for my major until my third year). Cody, your hugs always make me feel better. :3 but worrying about what? I'm in Minnesota finally...St. Paul right now, but I'll be in Bemidji tomorrow afternoon. An odd thing happened earlier--I was checking my email while chilling at a rest stop, and I saw one from a guy from Bemidji's town newspaper, requesting an interview. He liked my blog and wanted to know about my trip and my choice to go to school there instead of closer to Baltimore. He wants to do the interview tomorrow. So my mom talked me into dropping my alias and going public as this blogger. The town's buzzing about this new blogger student from Baltimore, so for the first couple of months I'll be getting a bit of attention. No one ever pays me any attention so this will be really new. It may not be much, or it might be a bit, but it's more than I'm used to. Anyway, the hotel Internet is horrendous and it's difficult to use the forums on the road...but I tweet a bunch and I update my blog twice daily via the convenient Wordpress app, so you can talk to me there or just keep updated on my journey. And if you want to text, ask Cody or Jess for my number... Blog link: [url]http://thebeaversquirrel.wordpress.com/[/url] I miss you guys...I'm really nervous...
