Term Two

It's funny how much you can change in a little over three weeks. This term was quite an experience, and so different from the one before. When I looked back at this post I did at the end of my first term, I realized how different the two really were. But before I get to that, here's what happened my last few days.

My good friend Marina is taking a year off, so we had a little get together with friends in her room the night before she left. It was such fun to hang out with everyone one last time. I'm bummed she won't be back though.

For commencement this year, Izzy and I were waiters at the dinner. It was challenging, but overall lots of fun! Our speaker was Peter Dinklage, who has been in films such as The Station Agent, Elf and more recently the TV show Game of Thrones. It was really great to see him and serving was quite an experience.

  

Izzy and I flew home on Saturday. The flights were relatively painless and soon enough we were home.

Overall, I have had a really wonderful term. I've been a part of lots of great projects, which while time consuming, were great learning experiences. I had some great classes. And I became better friends with everyone, as well as making many new and wonderful friends. I miss them terribly, and I can't wait to see them in the fall.

Last Week of Classes

I am now officially done with my first year of college. I'm here for a few more days for graduation and then, on Saturday I'll be heading home.

I went on a little picnic in the woods the other day, which was really lovely! The forest is so beautiful!

Over the last few weeks I've been acting in a student film called Harlots From Venus. We finished filming and the screening of the film was on Monday night. It was really fun, but I can't say I love watching myself on film. Here's the trailer:

We've been having the strangest weather, and with it has come some really beautiful and unusual bugs!

Finals, finals, finals. The last few days have been a nightmare in terms of studying and work. I had a bunch of big finals, as did everyone. No matter where you went you'd see people with books and papers, looking tired.

Yesterday was a tornado warning! It was really crazy! During the day we had 89 degree, super humid, weather and then around 5 clouds rolled in, the wind came bursting though the trees and the sky turned green. Then torrential rain arrived and lightning. It was insane! I wish I had gotten pictures!

 Now its time to relax, pack and spend time with friends. I'll be home soon.

Summer Days

The lovely summer weather has infected everyone and everything here. Anywhere you go people are lounging on the grass, reading and doing work outside.

I've been hanging out with friends a lot, since I won't be seeing them for a few months, I'm spending as much time with them now as possible.




Sawtell had a barbeque last Friday evening. We all sat about and ate and had an overall great time! It was lovely.
