DAY 100! Already?!

Helllloooo sunshine!
I cannot believe I've lived in Missoula 100 days now! But at the same time, day 1 seems like such a long time ago. Lets see...what have I learned so far?
1. The bus system. So not having a car is ok when almost everything is walking distance...almost.
2. It doesn't matter how many people told me that the high school- college transition is hard as far as classes go that was just something i needed to learn myself. It's simply just different.
3. How the meal plan works. So every week you start with like $68 and if you don't use it by saturday you lose it and it goes to the football team. And the country store (only place to use food money for groceries...overpriced groceries) is only open through friday.
4. How to be a decent Jimmy Johns employee.
5. Being shy is easy, comfortable and pretty much just part of my personality. But it's not a lot of fun.
6. It seems to me that "home" has less to do with the actual place, and more to do with who you find there.
7. Missoula was an excellent choice for me. Balance is central to me and I've found it here :)
8. It's critical to eat a good dinner...especially on friday and saturday nights.
9. Good news: The freshman 15 is completely avoidable!
10. Soooo so so much more.

More than anything though, I've learned that I still have so much to learn. 265 more days!





DAY 99: Last work shift!

(well until after break) These lights and the snow made a pretty pleasant walk home.

DAY 98: Home sweet Craig Hall

Even if the sidewalks are scary and icy getting there, this is home.

DAY 97: Skiing yet?

Having my skis and everything all ready to go in my room makes it really hard to study...

DAY 96: white white white

I love when the trees get like this.

DAY 95: snowman!!

Not just any snowman, but a snowman in the middle of the oval with a champagne bottle...haha oh college.

DAY 94: awwww

Kaden and Amos...adorable.

DAY 93: No surprise

"Wheres my dad?" "Sleeping" "Of course..."

DAY 92: Family is love.

I managed to take this before i took a food-coma nap...I love these people.

DAY 91: Pie!

Grandma made these cute little hearts <3
