Actually, now that I think about it, the title fits considering I am from California, more specifically a tiny suburb called Maywood which is about 15 minutes from Los Angeles. In actuality, we are still considered the same area. Oceanside, West Coast. How funny that I even spent yesterday at the beach, and today at an aquarium. Music, marine life ----> huge part of my life. Along with dance, which again I may not be perfect but I love it. My heart and soul since childhood!

I know what some of you may be thinking, city girl going to North Carolina? How will she manage without all the hustle and bustle? Quite frankly, I haven't a clue. All I have known is this place until last year when I took a massive road trip starting at NC (yes visiting Davidson!) and ending in New York. And to tell many of you East Coasters: Yes, we live in completely different areas of the US. You guys took me by surprise! The trees, the air...damn California with their palm trees....which I know I will greatly miss.
I suppose that my real answer, (and the answer than some of you might be calling your own as well) I am in need of change, in need of independence, in need of self illumination. Perhaps this entire new experience will further build who I am or destroy me and build a completely different person. Either way I could not be more excited!! Davidson is waiting on the other side of the continent (literally) and it is calling my name. Soon I will answer and go flying towards it.
"But oh, if I could only get you Oceanside, to lay your muscles wide, it'd be heavenly..."
I am terrified of leaving everyone behind, my family and friends. The love I have here will never be replaced. Pero aunque duela, lo haré. [But even though it hurts, I'll do it.] Oh, also something that will be continuously spilling from my mouth is the language of my home and family, Spanish. Davidson, you are gaining a Mexican American student.
More on this later. Night Night for now world..
