HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!! :) I am sorry I haven't checked in before now but my Internet has not been working! My apartment isn't even ready until this afternoon. I am e-mailing everyone from the business center at the hotel I am staying at until it's ready! As most of you already know, I have moved to Texas to go to school and I have arrived!
We (my parents and I) got in Friday night....with the U-Haul it took us 14 HOURS to get here!!! AGH! We checked in, and my friend who made the reservation...made it at the wrong hotel! After we got checked in and settled everywhere that was "good" to eat was closed so we just ate Arby's and went to bed! lol Saturday when we woke up we went to see if my apartment was ready and it wasn't as you already know so we went and unloaded my car into the hotel room, went and ate and then had ice cream on the beach and walked around in Galveston and went to Kema. Sunday we went to church and the people were SO friendly and I already knew the pastor from when I was younger and so it was great to re-connect with him and his wife. I think I will like it there....I am just scared because as you will see later on in my e-mail the people can be a little "too friendly" lol. Monday we went shopping for some basic apartment things and got the U-Haul unloaded in a garage at the apartments because we had to take it back to the U-Haul place. This morning my parents left me at like 4 am. Very sad. I bawled and cried myself back to sleep until I had to check out and then came down to e-mail everyone! lol.
Ok, so here are the weird things about Texas so far. I went to go look at an apartment and saw my first cockroach. I said what the honk is that mammal in the corner?!?!? You know those little pet crabs you can buy that they paint the backs and sell them in little kiosks at the mall as pets? You could do that with these roaches! No joke!! Their antenna's could serve as a satellite and you could probably saddle them up and take them for a ride. I am just hoping I don't get carried away or moved out by them!! Just as long as I whip them before they whip me I think I will be ok! lol Ok another thing as I was saying earlier. The people here can be just a little too friendly! I have always thought of myself as a outgoing and friendly....well my friends you have seen nothing yet! lol The people at the church I went to....everyone who came up and introduced themselves to me after they said my name is so and so what's yours? They asked a MILLION and one and a 1/2 questions!!!!!!! Then some would hug me...and not just a little hug....like a big ol' Texas sized hug! lol Some I didn't mind but then some I was like ok....get off! lol :) The humidity is INSANE I think I have sweated more since I have been here in the last week than I have in my whole life! lol
I am SO scared of the hurricane season, I have been warned and there is a list they give you of supplies to get. The first thing anyone will tell you here is NOT to wait, to just LEAVE! lol So you may be seeing me sooner than expected if I wash up there! lol Traffic and drivers here.... can't even go there or I will cuss and loose my sanctification....they are out of their minds crazy!!!! I take as many side roads as possible! One of the things I love is the hair is big here so I loved that!!! lol I fit right in….in that department!! :) I love that I am 20 mins away from the beach and there is TONS of bodies of water here. I do like that the people are friendly but I just have to get used to it. I am just kind of in culture shock here! lol. Well, there is a 10 min limit on this computer so I am going to get off for now. I am sure I didn't get everyone's e-mails before I left so please forward this and let everyone know to keep in touch with me, and I might not have gotten everyone's e-mail right on here, so let me know. I am sorry for all the typo's and grammatical mistakes, I just wanted to touch base! I love you all and I will write again soon!!
XOXO
Elizabeth
