One week of college down, how many more to go?!?! It's been a stressful week, let me tell you. I moved in on August 29, what a chaotic day that was! A few long hours later, I was all settled in at last! As soon as everyone left, I took a much-needed nap before I went to a catered reception for the University of Southern Maine's Class of 2013! That first evening, was filled with several dorm and floor meetings. I met two girls who live on the second floor (I'm on the third!) and we planned on doing breakfast on Sunday. And we did just that. In the afternoon, we took a trip to Freeport to do some shopping, but I can honestly say I didn't buy a single thing! I think that's a record for me. Monday, August 31, was the first day of classes. I purchased my books and $751 later, I was on my way to my first class. That first day I learned how mentally and physically exhausting being in Portland all day carrying 5 binders and 7 textbooks was! Tuesday was more laid back since I only had one class in the evening. Wednesday and Thursday I did the same. Since last Wednesday, I have been revamping my schedule, winding up in more classes in Gorham, where I live, than in Portland, a half-hour bus drive away! I went home for the long weekend with my boyfriend, Eric. I mostly just hungout during the past weekend at home in the Harbah. Monday, Labor Day, was my 18th birthday, marking my entry into adulthood. I celebrated with family and friends with a cookout at Mom's. What a fun time that we all had! Tuesday morning, I headed back to USM with Eric and stressed some more about my hectic schedule. And today, I got 75% of things straightened out and now have my schedule set-in-stone so hopefully I can begin to get on a schedule that will calm my anxiety. If you don't know, I'm rather Wednesday, September 9, 2009
And We're Off!

Congratulations again Ashton! :)
I bet you'll be settled into your new and improved schedule very soon. I can somewhat understand how you feel - I'm a tad bit persnickity about planning and scheduling, myself. ;)
Happy belated birthday!

Happy Belated Birthday Ashton! Reading your blog reminded me of my daughter's first days in college. You are going to have so much fun (except for studing) lol!
But, yes, do slow down and don't wish for time to pass quickly, because it already will. Congratulations!
YA ASHY!!! Great blog and great post! I can't wait to read more about your adventures! Oh, and for the record, you did not enter adulthood, you'll always be a little girl to me - sorry!!! <3 Love ya!
It sounds as if you've gotten your year off to a good start and I hope your schedule works for you. You've definitely gotten off to a great start with your blog.
What happened to blogging all the time? You've only posted TWICE! Come on now
Yeah, what Maddie said...
