AAAAHHHH!!! To much to do... to much information!! (In a good way!)

The last couple weeks before I left for Chicago and the magnificent IIT I was a chicken with its head cut off. I was excited, sad, and driving every one crazy!! My party was the best because I saw how many people care for me not just in Ellensburg, but from across the state. I loved chatting with everyone and having one final shindig in e-burg. Thank you to every one who came you were soooo much fun!
The journey to Chicago was super long. My mom, dad, joy and I left Ellensburg at about 3am...I don't think I have been going that early in forever. The plane ride to Chicago was also long but nice because I slept most of the way. When i was not sleeping I chatted with the women next to me who was coming to Chicago to take her international dentistry test. She was very wonderful to talk to with lots of fun things to say about Engineering and life in general! I hope she did well on her test. That same day was check in and registration...we went through these and i met my roommate Sydney Wiilliams!! We have had so much fun getting to know each other and the families that come with each!! Go Lewis 311 moms!!!! I am so glad my mom came!! She and Lexie made so much happen!! (Lexie is Sydneys mom!) Thanks!!
The first day of Freshman Orientation here at IIT was just like sitting in on the first days of High School.You don't do anything other than listen to the different speakers talk. However, we had a little more fun because we were meeting people from all over the world. I am so glad that I did the International Orientation session because there are so many awesome individuals coming to IIT. I met people form Dubai, Israel, Cameroon, and many other places, each with their own stories. But above all the BOG was the best with the ping pong and the bowling!!!
The Ambassador training was more of the same but a lot more fun cuz it was funny but serious!! I cant wait to start!!
The last couple of days I have remembered a lot of things Chicago reminds me of. The biggest is what a big world this is and how much friends and family matter. I am excited for school but cant help remeber some of the things i learned from EHS!!! But as the Day Ends here I must stop to pray for another day and stop typing!! Have a wonderful time in all your doings!!
Love and Blessings
