wow, it's been about a week since I last wrote... let's change that :)
I got to go home on Friday after class, it was a HUGE relief because I was becoming oh so terribly homesick. Got to hang with (most) all of my family that night watching Camp Rock 2 (don't watch it, it's dumb) and eating to my heart and stomach's content with burritos =DD <-- and yes, my smiley face has double chins
Saturday I slept till noon, twas glorious yes it was, and around 4 I went to the one and only ERIN HATCHER'S house decked out in my only Arkansas Razorback football shirt because apparently there was a game on... psh. I had to fight Erin and Sarah away from my car so I could get out of my car safely but once I was all the way out I was tackled like a football player with hugs, nice fat hugs too. That's one of the many things I miss living down here in Mississippi: I know people and they know me but not to the point of where when they see me I get bombarded with hugs and sayings like, "Oh my word, I missed you! How are you? How has your week been so far?" Like, I mean I do get asked those questions every now and then from my roommates and across-the-hall mates, but not all in one sit down with an added hug.
Sunday I went to my awesome awesome church (Faith Baptist, check it out!) and got to see all my younger friends like Jon and Parker and Kaylor and Dex haha and I also remembered why I never sat between Dex and Kaylor during church... we were talking too much =p BUT one of the greatest highlights of being home was getting to show all my friends a certain picture of a certain someone... um ANYWAY
Another thing I really missed about living in Memphis was, here in MS I'm not really set apart as anybody. Nobody really knows me as Kendall Avery, the one and only Kendall Avery. I'm just a Music Ed freshman who's trying not to fall up the stairs (again) or leave my room key and ID in my dorm, and learn my music and please my teachers. Whereas back home, I'm recognized at church, at home, in friend's houses, and even at Sonic! It's a strange and different thing for me to start my identity out here from nothing... I've never really had to do that before growing up and living in Memphis my whole life.
Mleh.
Sunday afternoon I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and have discovered no one will ever take the places in my heart for Harrison Ford and Sean Connery (the ORIGINAL 007). Went to Leawood under certain persuasions by select people, hear a good message both Sunday services, went and got gas :-p and then went to Erin's house again for Wii bowling, Mac video watching and endless talking about boys.. as usual haha
Monday Erin, Sarah, and Jake came over to see me before I departed again and Jake brought a video he had been working on for forever. I started watching it and it was compiled of a lot of the important people in my life telling about their favorite memory with me; that brought tears to my eyes, but alas, those quickly vanished when I saw the video titled "Eye Candy" they had put on there
THANKS GUYS! sickos
Rode the 4 hours back with my across-the-hall mate Meagan, and it was sooo much better than my ride home. Got me some hefty taco Bell for dinner, stayed up semi late cramming in homework that was due today and yeah bought a phone-charger from Wal-mart cause I left mine at home
-dislike-
Started up classes again today, easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. Got to see all my new friends that I had been missin over the weekend and Rush stuff started up tonight. I'm not feeling called to be in a tribe (that's MC for sorority) but I am gonna Rush for all the fun stuff that comes with it :-) Got to look at my bank account and I almost fainted seeing how little I had left, so Mom and Dad and Mike if ya'll could put that money in there, that would be GREAT!
Tomorrow is my busy day, I'll have a free period from 11 to 12 where I get to switch out my books, practice for voice and Singers, clean up my room and eat lunch. Ohhhhhh how I've missed college life this weekend :-p
(Actually I didn't because I've lost 3 pounds form walking everywhere and up 5 flights of stairs multiple times a day but I gained it all back this weekend at home. So I guess losing weight is the only part about college I like so far? Yep.. that seems about right.)
Thanks for keeping me in your prayers, I'll be trying to update this more often, have great tomorrow!
-Kendall <3
