Some College Resources

It’s been awhile since I updated SK…I’m sorry!  It’s partly due to writer’s block and partly due to business.  Yesterday I got my orientation booklet for college (I leave August 22) and so today I’ve spent some time shopping around for dorm stuff.  It’s fun and exciting but also sad to think of leaving home.  [...]
