Ok I'm finally updating. Whew. Thank goodness for wireless, allowing me to type on the toilet. (I'm so weird.) Oh the glory of living in a suite with 5 other good friends, so they're the only ones who are bound to come in here... that is, unless one of the acappella groups comes back to rehearse.... or if random freshmen come over. Hm.
Anyway, being back as a senior is really interesting. On the one hand, I feel like I never left, but then I'll look around and won't recognize half the campus, and realize that all the graduates are gone... and I'll realize that yep, the class of '07 graduated, and we '08ers are the eldest. Wow.
I think one of the hardest things to adjust to is doing work... actually thinking, and having to read quickly and well... Hm. I spent a good 2.5 hours last night reading 20 pages. Glorious. I also had to type up something for a class today that would normally have taken like 30 min and it took me over an hour. I guess these things take time.
Also, oh my gosh... the HEAT. It was like 60 degrees when we moved in, but now it's super humid and wonderfully sticky and like 90 degrees. ha. Frisbee is great, but I'm really out of shape, so it's frustrating. I'm sure that will come with time, too. We have our first tournament this weekend. Yay!
I think one of the things that's hardest about being back at school is learning to juggle classes, frisbee, homework, and managing to keep up with friends. There are so many people who I see in passing who I want to sit down with and catch up with...some of whom I haven't sat down with in over a year, and others who I was just getting to know before I went abroad, and still others who I'm really good friends with, but who I just haven't gotten a chance to see! ahh. It's been interesting to see how my social life is panning out. I'm living with some wonderful friends, and it's truly awesome, but I do miss seeing random other people who I just never see anymore!! And even the people I live with, I don't see all that much. I guess things will balance out and I'll learn to settle in, and the people that are most important will remain a part of my life.
So, life is crazy but good. I'm melting in the bathroom right now, and I really need a shower.... but I miss whoever is reading this. Hugs to ye!

if i had wireless (which i desperately wish i did), i would use it to go online from my living room. but i guess the bathroom is a good place too, as long as you don't drop your computer in the toilet.
i agree wholeheartedly that being a senior is strange.
i miss you and love you.
