Okay, okay before you all get upset at me for not paying attention to my blog, I have an excellent defense!
...I've been VERY busy. Alright, I know it's rather a lame excuse, but it's true, nonetheless. Just this week, I had a paper and two tests, one of which was a math test. Let me just say, I've been hitting the heck out of my books lately. I'm fairly certain my roommate thinks I'm a total hermit because I've been just sitting in my room with the door shut every night this week, but it's worth it, so I don't mind.
Not much else has been going on, though. I'm still getting the hang of campus and everything. Although, I am virtually a total newbie here, I feel older, like I semi-know what I'm doing. I'm not petrified to go up and talk to my teachers after class with questions and I've even gotten a complete handle on the shuttle system to my apartment from campus (which let me say, was not easy). Since I am still trying to get my ducks in a row, involvement in extra curriculars has been put on the back burner, but not for long. I actually want to get involved, and find myself checking bulletin boards just to see how much I could get away with joining. All of this has been so surreal and slightly overwhelming, but in such a good way, I couldn't be more content with it all.
The weather has been a nice change, however temporary. It's also brings back memories. I'm often finding myself thinking of this time last year, how different everything was. I had gotten the hang of things and realized it was the wrong place for me too late. Of course, I continued on in the hopes of it getting better, and it did, but here it's so different. I was walking in the quad today and found myself swelling with happiness at my situation. I really like this school and feel so much more at home. Something resembling school pride, something I haven't felt since elementary school, was rushing through me and I realized that's how college is supposed to be. So I may not know exactly what's going to happen next year, but for now, I know that I have a lot here and I am sticking to it. For now, I am in a good place, to say the least.
P.S. I hope you share what I'm feeling for everything you're doing, too.
