Stanford Update!
Well, so far everything has been going along pretty swimmingly in the 650. I have really not been as homesick as I thought I would be, which is not to say that I'm not at all homesick, just not as much I thought I would be. Last night I dreamed that I had gone home for a few days and cried when I had to come back to campus... But then later I dreamed that I was playing with a baby in the Children's Museum. And a few days ago I dreamed that my entire family staged my sister's death as an elaborate practical joke on me. I don't know what that means...My dreams have been on the fritz lately.
Any the who. With one week of classes under my belt, I can now give a pretty accurate depiction of my life here:
- 3 classes this quarter - second-year Russian, acting for non-majors, and an intense combo of humanities and writing known as SLE (Structured Liberal Education). none of these start before noon. Breakfast ends at 10... Some days I don't eat breakfast.
- walking everywhere. EVERYWHERE.
- football games on saturdays. usually leave at halftime.
- looking forward to lunch and dinner and sleep more than anything. much the same as at home.
- pretty hot during the day. gets into the 100s.
- messy dorm room
- reading for SLE...a lot.
- church on Sunday.
- missing my bed and my house and my family and friends. not in that order.
It gets into the 100s? In the Bay Area? I didn't think that happened...
ReplyDeleteYour classes sound fun! What are you reading right now?
I'm glad you're not homesick! LOVE YOU

linds, i love reading your writing! you're awesome! don't worry if college isn't 100% of everything you heard it would be yet. i remember being homesick the first few weeks of college and thinking "this is the best time of my life?" Uhhh. But then i got my groove and the fun really started and now i miss college like crazy some days:) either way, it sounds like you're handling everything like a pro! keep the updates coming!
