Back in Bama

Well here I am. Beth and I arrived at the dorm at 5:20 yesterday. I drove the entire way... not because Beth didn't want to.. she did offer. I just prefer to drive because it makes the trip go faster and because I wanted to be able to say I did it. Turtle is well... except for the fact that his water bottle dripped everywhere during the trip and his box was ruined. I tried offering him a couple new boxes, but he hasn't like either of them. So instead he goes and sleeps in the opposite corner. I'm a bit worried though, because it is bloody cold in our rooms and I don't want him to die. I need a way to keep him warm. I thought about a space heater of some sort so I can be warm too, or a light over his cage. I would really appreciate some assistance with this as soon as possible because I love my little pokey pet and I don't want to have to bury it anytime soon. In other news, I start classes tomorrow. I'm ready. Track practice also starts tomorrow. I'm going to die. I am rather excited about pole vault though.
I need to finish unpacking today. I did most of it yesterday, but I got tired of it, so I'll finish today.
If I can remember to do this each time, I am going to use a quote from the book Danni gave me "Enduring Words for the Athlete".

I really want to go into the Peace Corps, but right now it looks like I'm going do AmeriCorps instead. Its strictly in the US, and it pays off student loans. I have to look more into the student loans and which branch I would want to go into. I figure that if I like this, then I can do the Peace Corps later. It would be a 2 year commitment like the PC, but I wouldn't leave the country. I have to research more though before I make any decisions.
