2009 and a New Semester

[Macky Auditorium]

Happy new year everyone! Kicking off 2009 was wonderful, despite the last week or so being incredibly busy for me. Everyone is back in town for about two weeks- my siblings and any friends who went to other colleges all need to be seen and new lives need to be heard about at a rate of five or six people a day. : P

Needless to say, I've now gotten past the biggest part of my break and have spent today sleeping in and not driving all over the front range or to the airport. Awesome!

Seeing bunches of people from high school was so strange- even though it was easy to fall back into my old friendships, it was weird to hear about new cities, classes, and majors. The wide variety of experiences and schedules, roommates and romances was fun to hear about- and it shocked me how different each school's experience was even though we are all doing basically the same things. Some schools' lowest level of math was calculus, and some kids would never have to take it again after fufilling basic requirements. That's part of what I like about CU- because the student body is so big and has a wide variety of interests, there are about a thousand different things to do on any given day!

After hearing about all the new activities my friends were getting into in college, I have a new year's resolution- to try out something totally out of the blue for me next semester on campus. Wish me luck! :-)
