Hello School

Unfortunately, I'm not going to Carolina just to hang out with my friends- I'm actually here to learn. (How awesome would that be though!) Classes began this week and, although I'm really excited about what I'm taking and think that this semester is going to be really great, I'm already a little bogged down with reading and work haha. So, I decided to take a study break and blog a little bit.

Monday

Our last day before classes started. I spent Monday hanging out with more great friends and finishing up decorating my room. (I have just a few final touches and then I'll have lots of pictures!) That night, my friends and I went to the Sunset Serenade, where all the different acapella groups come and sing a couple of songs to showcase their group. One great thing about Carolina is all the different musical groups that there are on campus to go see and this is such a fun way to see all of them at once.

I tried to take a picture of the Lorelais (the all-girl group) but we were sitting too far away and my camera couldn't focus haha. The whole of the lower quad in front of Wilson Library was jam packed with students. 

Tuesday

Classes started Tuesday and like the good Carolina student that I am, I went and got a drink from the Old Well before heading to Drama 115 in hopes that it will help me make A's this semester. Didn't do so bad last year, so maybe it does help. Guess we'll see. 

Wednesday

This is for you K!

Krispy Kreme has come to Franklin St. and with it the average weight of the Carolina student has increased by several pounds. However, I only took a picture of it for my sister haha, I didn't actually eat there. Maybe I'll weight till K returns in November and we can go together. Maybe. I love you, K!

Thursday

Today, I went back to Durham to be with my family while my dad had surgery. Thanks to all of you who were praying, everything went well and he's doing well. I didn't have a very exciting day- I thought I was going to have to use a picture from Local Yogurt (I'm telling you, I'm addicted- its bad), but instead I have this...

My very sweet boyfriend came to pick me up and bring me back to Chapel Hill and had bought me flowers for our 5 month anniversary. We're both pretty busy with studying (especially him with organic chem and all sorts of crazy classes) so we weren't able to do anything else tonight, but I really appreciated the flowers. They are the same ones he got for me for our 1 month. Oh, and I'm a college student without a vase in my dorm room, so, yes, that is a travel coffee mug that the flowers are in haha. I thinks its kinda cute- and totally me, I'm like addicted to coffee so why not use the mugs in cute decorating? Anyway, thanks so much, Chris! They add a lot to my tiny Morrison dorm room.

I should have some fun pictures for you guys next week. Saturday I'm going to the beach with a group of international students here at UNC. It should be so much fun! 3 hour bus rides always are!!
