getting adjusted

I am starting this post at 11:30 p.m. the night of move-in day... most unorganized day of my life.

Not to scare anyone off if you are younger but if you have experienced dorm life you know exactly what I am talking about when I say dorm is 'dingy'.

I am not really sure what I expected my dorm to be like. I mean I knew it wasn't going to be pretty or HGTV worthy (I will make my room super cute! I've been waiting for this for like EVER), but man is it UGLY! The walls were once painted blue and then painted over it with cream and plastered in many areas incorrectly. Like okay, okay not too shabby. But wait there's more! My school decided not to inform me that my dorms closets no longer include doors so there goes half my decor out the window, ugh. That part really bummed me out, OH and did I mention I am on the 12th floor of a 12 story building... that was built in like the 70's??? Either way do you catch my drift here?

Hahah, God has got a funny way of pushing my buttons and you would think this isn't bad at all but to me this is ALL new. I've never shared a room before, let alone a bathroom with more than just my brother. 

I really thought about it and talked to God and through all of this I am learning gratefulness. I mean I truly am! I am thanking God everyday I have a bed, running water available to me and a decent means of living! I ashamed to think I deserve more. Because I don't. 

Getting adjusted will be difficult I know this and I knew this months ago, but thats just the easy part of all of this. 

I've cried at least 10 times today.

I laughed my butt off with my mom trying to decorate my room.

I said many goodbyes.

I bonded with my family.

I survived my first shower in a community bathroom, it wasn't bad at all; plus the girl next to be played some good tunes in the bathroom!!

God you have provided and I am thankful.

My friends and family mean the world to me.

I had at least 5 people FaceTime me asking if I was getting adjusting well and praying over me, I am beyond blessed to say the least.

I can't wait to post the final product of my room! And meet my roommate next week!!

with love, Celine
