This past weekend, I visited Abilene Christian University with my mom and sister. And I have to admit, it was pretty great. I hadn't been to Abilene in the longest time and this time, I actually paid attention to the drive. The four hours in the car really weren't that bad and I got to drive.
Overall though, it was good. Mom, Lauren, and I toured campus Friday morning, and excluding our obnoxious tour guide (Myles was a talker), it was fantastic. The campus is beautiful and my aunt and uncle don't live too far away. The dorm rooms were really big and I felt comfortable on campus. The food was good and the Communication Sciences and Disorders advisor pleasant. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I even bought a sweatshirt. Now, I have an NYU shirt, a Texas State shirt, and about SEVEN Baylor shirts, but never have I bought a SWEATSHIRT! So I now officially have an ACU sweatshirt and it makes me happy.
Basically, I think I'm going to Abilene! Currently, ACU is the way to go!
Another reason I'm really excited to go to Abilene is that some of my family lives there. My mom's sister and all of her kids. All three of her kids are married and two of them have kids, so I can't wait to be around them. My cousin Erin actually started jumping up and down when she found out that I'll probably end up in Abilene; I love them all so much, I can't wait to live near them so I can see them all the time.
Oh! and I loved seeing my sister again. Recently, we've been seeing so much of her and it's fantastic! This weekend, she met me and mom in Abilene on Thursday night and spent one night before heading back to Fort Worth. We had a blast; Lauren and I slept in this little double bed together and let mom have the big queen sized all to herself and we talked a lot before going to sleep. It felt like having a sleep over with my older sister. I like having her around as both my sister and my friend. I like reaching this age when people actually enjoy me, i.e. becoming friends with my sister and cousins (all of whom are older than me).
In conclusion, ACU was amazing.
I bought the sweatshirt, therefore I'm basically obligated to go now.

Haha! The age when people "enjoy" you!? I had a great time with you at our sleepover and the tour; I was so glad that I got to come and see you guys, even if it was just for a day! And I definitely do "enjoy" your company, except when you say "lahk" instead of "like" and "mah!" :-) Love and hugs!
