I'm trying to think of all of the things that have happened in the past few weeks....a lot has happened actually. I've been getting more and more plugged in at church and I'm making some great new friends, which is exciting. I'm definitely starting to feel like part of a community now as opposed to an island. I'm also falling more and more in love with the city, which is exciting. There is such a vibrancy and life here that is hard to replicate.
I do miss home a lot though. I miss being able to just take off and drive into the mountains whenever I want to, but it's alright. It's sometimes hard to remember that there is an actual world outside of Manhattan. It has more than enough to keep me occupied, it seems. Though I haven't really had much of an opportunity to explore, which I'm sad for, I have gotten to do some fun things.
I've had some visits from friends that I know from Noah's, which has been cool. It's nice to hang out with people I've known for a while.
It is definitely finally getting colder here, which is good and bad. It's good in the sense that I'm used to cold weather, being from Colorado of course. However, there is the small factor that I hate winter, so oh well. Plus, I'm told that the cold here is brutal, unlike anywhere else. We'll see...
Other than that, not a whole lot to report. I've been trying to keep up with school, so that has taken up most of my time and effort. It has been a bit of challenge at time, but I feel like I've been managing alright. However, today I'm pretty sure that I failed an art history test, which was really bad. I have to get the grade up by the end of the semester in order to keep my scholarship. But I only have a B, so it's not like it's the end of the world.
Yeah...so I'm off to an art history lecture. See you all later...
