Okay so I am officially here for those who do not know.
It was harder than I thought it would be to leave Charleston – my dad gets me every time lol. He gets very sentimental and it makes me cry. every. single. time. It probably did not help that I had 3 fillings earlier in the day which took 2 hrs to do at the dentist’s office.
Not to mention that my mouth is STILL sore. 6-7 shots in my mouth and lots of drilling – needless to say my mouth is not feeling normal yet.
Although all of these things are going on – I am trying to be positive about it. I spent some time with my roommate last night and it was so fun! However, it is discouraging that I have no friends here except for her ( i know…i’ve only been here for a few days, but it is hard when the only thing to do is unpack, etc.)
So thankful that my mom is coming tomorrow. Also, I am sitting in a Starbucks and saw a Bible study group meeting outside – very encouraging 
I am trying to hold on to God’s truths and trust that He has placed me here for a reason (besides the awesomeness of SCAD lol)
Please pray for me to have an optimistic attitude during this time of waiting for classes to start and connections to be made (with people and at a church)
I am not allowing myself to be depressed or sad b/c I am not with my friends and family or in a place that I am familiar with – I am thankful for this opportunity that God has given me and am excited for new things and new friendships!
Helllooo! I’m back!
Yes you are there “for such a time as this” as Mordecai said to Esther =)
believe it.
