Since I've been here, I have met some really nice people, basically just my cross country team. It is hard not really knowing anyone though. I have spent a lot of time by myself, missing home. On Thursday, we had a 3K time trial for cross country. I beat one girl by like one second, but I still felt pretty slow. Friday we left for cross country camp in Bend/Sisters. We went on some dusty, but beautiful runs. Each day we ran at least 60 minutes. I can keep up when we do the long slow runs pretty well. It's been hard to be somewhere that I feel like a complete stranger, and not really very outgoing. I know it will all get better once there are more people to meet! Here are some pictures of my room and camp.
Smith rocks in Bend, OR. It was beautiful! Some of the team hiked, but after a hard run me and four other girls stayed back and talked.
From left: Hannah, Bethany, Mary, me. Bethany and Mary are sisters, and Hannah is a freshman. Bethany is the team captain.
My mom and I got creative with the bulletin board! We got a pad of cool paper, ribbon, and some cool thumb tacks, so now I have pictures of everyone I am missing so much up there!
I got my sheets at IKEA. It was a huge store! Lots of fun stuff.

Monz can you come help me decorate my room?? I'm serious! Yours is so awesome!! I love it!! I miss you...
And btw the scenery is AMAZING! Wow I'd love to run there!
That would be so amazing if I could! I would love to! It was mostly my mom, though...i'll be honest
Hey Monz. We miss you too! I wish I could drive there and keep you company until more people arrive. You are going to do awesome. Today we saw Lauren at the University. Asher gave her a hug and said goodbye. After she walked away Jesse asked him if it made him sad. Asher said, "I'm sad that Monz left. That makes me sad." I tell you that story NOT to make you feel bad but to let you know that you are loved and that you have a big place in my sons heart. For that I am SOOOO grateful. I love you sweet sister.
Thanks Ky. I'm starting to do a little better. Everyone comes tomorrow, which is weird. I wish you could be here too though. I love you!
