Another Semester

Today classes began. I’m one day into the semester and right now everything feels so strange. It doesn’t feel like classes should be starting yet. My classroom should be downstairs, just below my bedroom. When I eat in the “new” Bean I feel as if I’m at a new school. Yet to all but a few of us, this is not so new anymore.

I definitely had culture shock coming back to the States in a way that I didn’t heading to England. Things just feel sort of off. It doesn’t help that I’m rooming with someone from Oxford and I have pictures of my semester strung across my bulletin board. Already I’m finding myself waiting for Erin and Katherine to come back to our room.

I have seen the majority of the people from our group. I am overjoyed every time, and hugs are exchanged all around. When I think about it, this is very interesting. I mean, on a campus of four thousand, what are the chances that I would run into these thirty people.

Anyway, on to something a little different than study abroad. My classes today went fairly well. I think I’m really going to enjoy my Christianity in Culture class. I was, however, surprised to know less than half of the people in there since it’s a major’s section. I figured that I’d at least recognize most of them from last year.

Finally I’m so excited to room with JoAnna this semester. So far it’s been great and I think that we’ll have an awesome four months.


Yep, we're pretty hardcore
