happy birthday katherine!
so i truly believe i'm beginning to like it here. maybe it's because i just had a really good day, but i still feel happier than i've felt since i've been up here. i'm not really getting homesick as badly, i mean, i'll probably always be a little, but it's easier to find things to do to get my mind off of it. like today, i went to buy joey a surprise from this sale they were havin at the Union building, and i found the paths from my dorm practically all the way there that ran right next to the Red Cedar. and it was just so pretty and relaxing, i probably sound like a dork because thousands of kids walk by there everyday lol, but honestly it helped me. it reminded me a lot of up north, and everything is just way quieter, it didn't even really seem like i was on a college campus, more like just taking a walk through the woods. i felt a lot calmer after that walk, and the rest of my day has honestly been a little slower paced because of it. and that was exactly what i needed, too. to slow down for my big math exam. i honestly think i did really good on it. i had enough time to re-check it 3 times over, and i found a couple mistakes and fixed them, so i have a pretty good feeling about it. but, being as it's college, that's just one exam down, with another up right after! oh yes, now it's time to go and study for my anthropology test tomorrow! this should be a lot easier though. well i guess that's it for now!
