The San Francisco Treat :)

I apologize to those of you (if any?) that have checked this only to find it empty since I have moved.  Things have been so crazy up here, but soo awesome!!  With that said, I don't even know where to start.  So bare with me if I ramble on, so much has happened in these few days. 

 

So my trip was a blast!  I know that's weird, but I LOVE flying on airplanes.  Even though I hadn't done it since the 2nd grade, I was greatly looking forward to it, and it was everything I could dream of and more.  Basically, the best roller coaster ever!  And then once we got up high enough, the view was absolutely incredible!  Definitely one of the most amazing sights to see!  Especially since I got my desired window seat :)  

Once I got to the Oakland airport, things got a little crazy.  My flight was a few minutes late arriving, so that set everything back.  After I got lost for a few minutes, I proceeded to wait for 20 minutes at the wrong baggage claim.  Once I realized this (after no more bags came out), I wandered for a while, eventually finding my bags with about half an hour to get to SF.  I rolled my bags bigger and heavier than me out to the curb and waited 30 minutes for my shuttle to arrive.  By now I was a bit freaking out because I was supposed to be at my house by now, and we hadn't even left the airport.  I knew I was doomed to having some crack head roommate-my biggest fear of this whole process.  

I finally got onto my shuttle and we were on our way too many minutes later.  And just my luck, the shuttle driver was insane and almost got us in 3 accidents on the way to my house.  I felt terrible for the people still on the shuttle when I left.  Hopefully they are still alive.

I finally arrived an hour and a half late., but at least I was alive.  I was taken to my room with two other girls.  And now where I really thank God, they are awesome!  We have the biggest room in the house (because there are 3 of us) and a beautiful view of Golden Gate Park right out our window.  We are just north of the Panhandle, for those of you that know the area.  I will post pictures hopefully soon, once I can get outside to take pictures without rain.  

Then I unpacked my things, only to realize how much I had forgotten-the top to my toothbrush, sheets that actually fit my twin xl bed, etc.  So I have been trying to get along until today, when hopefully my packages will be coming and I will get the rest of my stuff-except the sheets :(  So until I figure out what to do with my new sheets from xmas, I have been layering and shivering at night.  

Now that I have really realized how much I have rambled, and that you all don't care about THAT many details, I will try to calm it down a tad from here on out.  We have had many orientation-type meetings the past few days, including a way too extensive walk through many districts from the city-totaling about 7 miles and 8 hours.  It was fun to see all the different districts, but I think it's implied that I slept very well that night!  Since then, we have been learning how things work up here and what-have-you.

I had much more after this, but it just got deleted, and I don't have time to rethink it all before my next meeting in a few minutes.  But I will update more later, hopefully with pictures.  

I miss you all very much and can't wait to see you over Easter break!  MUCH LOVEEE
