I took a risk and transferred to Temple University in Philadelphia. It's been an interesting experience so far. It hasn't been horrible but it hasn't been great either. Hopefully, within another month or two, I'll be content with my decision to have left Bloomfield. My professors from Bloomfield have been so encouraging and supportive through all of this. It's funny though, for some reason when you're going through a tough time people tell you that you'll grow from the experience in the end. I guess that's supposed to be the silver lining to your cloud - that you'll "grow" from it. I really do have to count my blessings though. I have a great apartment with my own bedroom and bathroom which is basically unheard of for college living and my roommates are really great. My roomies are Erin, Faith, and Cailin. We're all pretty similar as far as study habits, temperaments, cleanliness, and none of us are into drugs. I'm so thankful for that and I definitely don't take my living arrangment for granted. Everything else could be better, but I'm toughing it out and praying. It's just going to take some time.

I stayed in Philly this weekend. Faith and I drove all around the city and we had lunch together. It was great getting to know her more. I am going to go home next weekend though since Chris and I are getting together for lunch on Saturday. I'm looking forward to that.
