Much.

 

The view from this window is of the cemetary.

 

And trees.

 

And rain.

 

Finally.

 

Quiet.

 

A luxury at John Brown University.

 

I'm in college.

 

It's a lot to take in.

 

But it's incredibly eye-opening.

 

Everyone here is finding their way, too.

 

That's good to remember.

 

I've been listening to violin music.

 

Reading this blog. I adore her semi-erratic writing style.

 

And being with people.

 

Many, many people.

 

Friends are made so quickly here.

 

I'm definitely not used to that.

 

I suppose you kind of have to bond, just to have someone.

 

It's just so much.

 

My mind is trying to catch up with all the names and faces and history and places and tips and lessons and advice.

 

So much.

 

But not too much.

 

Not yet.

 

 

I Saw...

...the cutest cement truck I've ever seen (it had polka-dots)...

...a black and green tuxedo (by Stephen Sprouse)...

...evidence of elephants (but no elephant)...

...Chihuly glass (it was the ceiling)...

...a thousand people holding me up (they really were)...

...lots of House Hunters and Say Yes to the Dress (and Toddlers and Tiaras)...

...and people who talk a lot when they get nervous (not applicable to myself in any way).
