love/not so much

Here is what I love about college:

• A really relaxed schedule. Three classes a day, max. The ability to choose whether I attend or not, no one forces me to do anything. Professors who don't mind when you show up late or leave early.
• Having to exercise all the time. Walk, walk, walk. Biking back up campus is brutal and wonderful.
  
• MEETING PEOPLE!!! I've been having these random conversations with strangers all over. While eating breakfast, at the bus stop, in the elevator on the bridge, everywhere. Really cool people.
• Being exposed to all kinds of new. New faces and names, new cultures, new music, new ideas. Reading an essay about one student's love of writing as an art, a thing of absolute and eternal beauty.
• Being scared. Because I know it means I am evolving.

Here is what I don't like so much about college:

• TRAX cars that smell really bad. Enough said.
• Not knowing where to find stuff. Haha. But I'm actually figuring it out pretty well, which is a feat for me. I usually have no sense of direction at all.
• Having homework again. Sick. But predictable. Not even busy work.
• Not knowing people. But this is two sided, because it's alternately this opportunity to meet lots and lots of people that are different from me and amazing.
• Not being around people from Heber anymore. I miss you guys a whole freaking lot.

I will be home this weekend; give me a call!

Love, Jennifer
