It was accepted students day today at UMPI, they've already had a few so there weren't many people there. It was also my first visit to the campus. I'm not sure what made me pick UMPI over Husson, but I think I made the right choice.
My mom and I left the house around 6:30 to drive up north, we made a stop at Dunkin Donuts on our way. It rained most of the way there, but had cleared up by the the time we were in Houlton. The funny story there: we pulled off the highway and the car was making a clunking noise. We pulled into the gas station and the noise stopped. It ended up being a fog light...it had fallen off while we were pulling into the gas station! How funny is that?! My mom picked it up and threw it in the back seat.
We continued the journey to campus and didn't really notice much about the scenery. The campus was a series of brick buildings. It was smaller than I expected, but I loved it!
I met some really nice faculty members and had some nice conversations. They all seemed very interested (they were probably paid to be like that haha). They all thought that I was nice, probably because I wasn't sassy and didn't have my resting bitch face! :)
Sense my mom loves me and spoils me rotten, she bought me a whole new outfit from the bookstore: a pink sweatshirt, gray sweatpants, and a yellow UMPI shirt. I'll stay warm during the winter!
We may have left campus after the yummy lunch, free I might add, and gone to Maddens where she bought me two more shirts.
On the ride up I managed to create a Skype account for our future communication. I guess she's worried about me being up there all by myself.
At the end of the day, I feel like I made the right decision in choosing to go to Presque Isle. I might join the business club, whatever they plan on doing I'm clueless, and maybe even writing for the school newspaper. I think that could be fun.
The longest I've been away from home is a week, and that was only last year when I went to Dirigo Girls State at Husson for a week. I didn't get too homesick or anything, but I did miss home. I think that I can do well next year/semester if I really try.
I may be alone up there with no family around, but I'll always have someone whether it's texting, skyping, emailing, someone on campus, or any other form of communication. I'm looking forward to this next journey up in "potato country."
By the way, it smells like nature up there! I better get used to it. Just saying. :)
