This is life:
Classes are amazing. For the first time, I'm learning about what I WANT to learn about, and learning it from the best. I feel like I'm really getting a legitimate education.
I'm about to become trilingual: So parlare l'italiano :)
In love with the town of Chapel Hill. So many qualities of it remind me of my stay in Spain--which was, hands down, the best month of my life thus far--including the gorgeous architecture, the pedestrian-oriented nature, the tons of international people, the bars that I can buy drinks at; in short, it's BEAUTIFUL.
Granville's alright, I've met a lot of people, but my roommate no es bueno, we're pretty much polar opposites in the worst ways possible.
I spend most of my time at 417 B Yates Motorcourt Alley.. Catherine's house, with all of those girls, and have met some pretty cool people through that group. A little bit of drama, but I love them nonetheless.
I've been at E-haus a lot too, playing tons of poker and having beer pong nights with Curtis and a bunch of really cool guys; we actually formed an intramural soccer team, which is so much fun, as I have missed sports.
I miss all my friends more than I ever thought I would, even the ones who are still in Raleigh. 30 minutes is farther away than it seems, especially when you're poor and can't afford gas. I really miss the ones who are farther away though: Emily, in Colorado; Katherine, in Vermont; MB, in NYC; Steph, in Wilmington; Chris, in Virginia. We have kept in touch so well though, which I also didn't expect.
I really miss Milton's.. the money, but mostly the people. They are my second family, and I love those girls more than I can ever ascribe. And I'm not going to lie, I miss the dank food a lot, too.
There's something about Raleigh that I took for granted before. Despite loving Chapel Hill, it feels so good to be back every time. I guess its just the familiarity, and all the memories and what not. That kind of happens when you live somewhere your entire life, I suppose.
