So. I miss New York. A lot.

This week, like any other week, has had its ups and downs.

Some of the ups? Well, for one, I made a cake today. It's pretty delicious, no lie. It's vanilla cake with strawberry Jell-o poured inside. Pretty good, if you ask me. Another up? I got a comforter for only $15! It's pink with colorful stars, and since our thermostat has a mind of its own, the comforter was definitely necessary Not to mention the fact that it keeps me warm and cozy at night!

Oh yeah. Did I mention that one of my best friends, Deanna, started her program the other day??? I'm very excited to have her here; it hasn't quite sunk in yet. For the past 3 months, I've been texting her, getting updates from home and filling her in on my life. Now, we can walk over to one another's apartment anytime! Well, provided that we're home....

Some of the downs. School has officially started. I miss Cortland SO MUCH. It's more my style; Florida is WAY too hot for me. I've been seeing all sorts of updates from people on Facebook, and I'm itching to go back! Not saying that I'd go home early or anything, it's just a bit hard. I can't wait to be back there in January. Every time a guest asks me if I like Florida, I say "Well, it's ok. I just LOVE the snow. Honestly, the moment I get home, I think I'll jump in the snow!"

Another down? One of my friends decided he no longer wanted to be in the program, so he left. Things are so strange without him. That's the hardest thing about being here, the fact that everyone's in a different place. Some people are on their way in, some are leaving.

I miss being home. Is it too early to start the countdown to Cortland???????
