I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack.

Oh yeah. We're back. Rather, I'm finally back. I was supposed to be back a week ago but they had to get new carpeting in Admissions so my days were canceled.

It's already the 4th week of schools so I've got plenty to write about but my fingers just aren't fast enough.

Life is different as an junior. Many of my friends are spread across the country and across the globe. This makes social life interesting. The small group of people I eat meals with is trying to branch out but we feel 1) old and 2) lost with all the new first-years. Seriously, there are 339 of them! That's more than the rest of us averaged out!

(You can also make a stop-motion-gif here)

I'm not complaining, though; they are a superb bunch. Who knew that so many excellent people would show up? Braving the harsh February weather for Presidential Scholarship weekends pays off!

So far, academically, this semester has been a challenge. Two English classes load on the reading PLUS I'm taking a Communication class that has an additional 32958032958 pages every night. But one of the most exciting classes this semester is Buildings as Teachers; it's all about the new Science Center. Holy smokes is that place awesome.

Really, the Science Center is like a new world! The technology is amazing, the bathroom counters are recycled and it's big and open. It is everything Chamberlin was not. I know that we lost some history with Chamberlin but the new place is great. Hopefully I'll get out my camera and show you some pictures of the new SC and the deconstruction of Chamberlin.

I've got so much to tell you but so much reading to do that I will instead appease you with a few other things until I charge my camera.

I've recently been obsessed with this song: I Blame Coco

And every song needs more cowbell...
