Another new semester!

Wow, sorry I've been a little MIA lately. When I was home over winter break I didn't write much because I was doing so little and didn't have anything to write about, but much of this summer I wasn't writing because I had too much to do!

I don't even know where to begin...

My last few weeks at home were wonderful, but crazy. My last week at home, among other things, I had three doctors appointments, went to the movies and walked around the mall with friends and family twice, had a sleepover with two of my best friends Ashley and Kelly (actually one of the highlights of my entire summer!), spend a day at the Minnesota state fair, hung out with my friend Alyssa (who I never get to see because she is in the Air Force stationed in South Dakota and I go to school near Boston), got together with my family to celebrate all of our birthdays, and packed every single thing I own into boxes or suitcases. (I didn't get much sleep that week.)

And now I am finally back at Wellesley. My first couple days here were actually pretty difficult, trying to figure things out and adjust to being back while trying to get all of my stuff from storage to my new room, unpack, and buy the things I wasn't able to bring with me (like shampoo). After that things quickly got better, though, as I had a couple days before classes started to relax and start seeing my friends again. I love my new room, and I think I've finally just about finished decorating it to my satisfaction.

This semester promises to be a good (and busy!) one. My classes are Linear Algebra, Computer Science (data structures), Art (2-dimensional design), and Latin 101. I think I will enjoy all of them, and art has already pushed me out of my comfort zone! I think mathematically too often, so it'll be good for me. But I really don't know what to expect, I've never taken a studio art class before!

I'm also planning on continuing to be part of the Guild of Carillonneurs, and I'm stepping up my involvement in Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, I'll be co-leading the first-year small group this year. Super excited! I'll probably dabble in some other groups as well, there are so many cool things happening on this campus!

Anyway, it's probably about time to sign off and accomplish something on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. Hopefully I'll have some more thoughts and updates soon.
