Hello one and all, so sorry for the lack of updates in the last month.

Man a lot has happened since last, it has just been crazy. I guess we will start from the top.

Ok Moving in, I ended up with such an awesome room.

I love it, and here is my building, good ole C!

Orientation week was good but the activities were very subpar. It was pretty much a week to get to know my suite mates.

The Woods around campus are so awesome. I’ve never seen anything like them. There is also this amazing beach through the woods that has bio-luminescent algae, its like something out of a movie. If you run your hand through the water it sparkles. And scattered throughout the woods there are some tree houses.

This past week i’ve been taking a lot of walks through the woods at 2 in the morning. Sometimes without flashlights, its terrifying.

At first I was really nervous for classes to start but now after 2 weeks of them they really aren’t bad at all. I have less homework then i did in high school, by quite a bit. I have been reading a lot but so far all i have to do is a one page reaction about what i read. Right now I’m reading the book Monkey! Gah it is so entertaining, i recommend it to everyone.

Today for class we had a 2 hour lesson on tai-chi. Coolest class ever. and this is the kind of stuff we do regularly. Once a week we watch a chinese film and then have discussion on it. The way these classes are set up is amazing. I learn the most from the seminars i have every week. It is pretty much just open discussion on what we read. It is so interesting to get other peoples insight on what i read.

Last week Caroline came to visit. It was sure good to see a familiar face. She has all the pictures from that day so be sure to check them out.

Some things that I have recently started doing:
Long Boarding
Drinking a ridiculous amount of tea
Free walling (legal place to do graffiti)

I promise, I will update more often. Promise.
