2 weeks down 5 to go

My second week in Southern California has come to an end and I have 5 weeks to go. I hate to say it but it was a little warm today. I really do not want to get acclimated so when I come back to AZ that its to darn hot!!
It is true when you don't have your family and close friends you are forced to venture out. Something that I have been doing almost every day. I have concurred a few fears and gotten some new ones and have made a new list of goals for myself.
The first one is to run up the hill - my nemesis. I will do it one day but I have to master walking up first. The second is to break my plateau and drop another 15 lbs....possible in 5 weeks? I don't know.
Third is to take up a new hobby and write more and to finish up most of my book that I will write. To learn all I can in school and get my masters when I get home to AZ.
We watched a film today- The miracle of Birth....After watching a baby crown out of a ladies goodie bits, and then seeing a doctor man handle a placenta I decided that even though I see myself with a family and want to get married and have babies, that I think I can wait a few years.
I have also really really learned the importance of parents. I have met another girl who lost her mother 3 years ago. She was young too and we bonded a little bit over it- I wonder if she has the same thoughts in her head that I have in mine. I sit in class and realize my mom gave me everything she had. I will always have the guilt of not mending back and becoming friends but literally time ran out.
People keep telling me- wait for your transformation just wait absorb....Well in many ways, I feel like I already have absorbed. I can always learn more but I think I have dealt with a ton of stuff most people my age hasn't or maybe they have but just in a different way.
So I am so pleased to be able to enjoy the weather and the beautiful campus here. I am glad that everyone is very nice and every single man smiles at me...holla hehe- I dont think I will ever get used to the the fact that it takes 10 minutes to travel 2 miles! Or that the freeways are dark and scary but I really enjoy learning and am excited to be back in school!!
