life.. and then some.

Since moving into Western, things have been kind of rough. First of all, I was in a relationship that lasted over a year. I put up with a lot because I was scared to let go. When someone threatens your life, it's kind of hard to walk away with your head held high. I was put down everyday and called a whore just because he felt like it. I was grabbed and pushed up against walls only because I was scared and didn't know where to turn. I knew coming up here would be the best thing for me and I would finally be free from him. So, that Friday night, I done it. I told him that I wasn't happy and I didn't want to be with him. He went completely crazy. He drove up here, cussing me the entire way for everything I was worth. I stayed in my room like a recluse because I was terrified to go outside thinking he would be there. Finally after I quit answering his calls, he left me alone. That was a huge weight off of my shoulders. I could finally go out and not be scared of him attacking me. Sounds strange huh? He would do it though.

Now, I am exactly where I want and need to be. I couldn't be happier; I have never been this happy. I am talking to a new guy and he treats me like an angel. I have never been treated like a princess and that is exactly what he does.

Classes are going okay I guess. Just a lot more papers than what I wrote in my entire highschool career, haha. I love it up here though. I can't wait for it to get cold and for it to snow, even if it is just a little bit. I going to learn how to snowboard =]!! How exciting is that!

I hope everyone is settling in okay and I wish everyone the best of luck!!!
