Freshmen status

      I have had a lovely day. Upon arriving home from Hamline at approximately 11:00 I slept. Until 3:30. I NEVER get that much sleep. It was a very nice change to do absolutely nothing today (aside from sleep and read). Anyways, I also have made my status as a freshmen in college official. This morning, (after sleeping over at Hamline for the first part of their orientation program) I registered for classes and got my ID. And I can't say that I'm upset with picture, it only lasts for the next four years. No big deal.

      Part of Piper Preview (the overnight last night at Hamline) was to get students excited for the fall and introduce them to what life changes are to come and all the incredible people they'll get to work with and become friends with and it is an amazing experience. I came home today and it felt like the end of August, as if I should be going to college in a couple weeks as opposed to a couple months. I mean I'm honestly just that excited to start school again! I feel like kindergartener stepping onto a school bus for the first time again, this giant yellow boxy automobile that has only been seen on television. Knowing that it's going to take you to the start of a big portion of your life. Piper Preview was college's first step onto the foreign golden yellow object. I'm overly joyed and thrilled and every optimistic feeling there is for this fall, I have the schedule I was hoping for, I met some amazing people this weekend, and I'm looking forward to writing the next chapter of my life.
