The latest adventures...

My first week of college is over. I am still alive and ready to start a new week. I haven't had some new revelation so I'll just fill you in the latest adventures of Salima's life:

• We had a carnival during orientation and it was quite fun. Over and over, I was reminded how you can never be too old to enjoy playing like a kid
• Hartford is an interesting town! It's got a history that I am excited to learn next semester though I may just learn more than I want to
• Monday, I tried stepping and quickly learned that it may not be the thing for me. This was also the night where I signed up for too many clubs at the activities fair
• My classes are going great! I have such a great schedule. I don't have to wake up before 9:00 am and I am done by 2:30 at the latest.
• The chapel here reminds me of home. I met another Lutheran, who went to the youth gathering in 2009, had the same bag that I got and knew the Lutheran songs
• I got to sing sanctuary and it reminded me of TVLYFE
• It rained like crazy for the three days straight
• I made an awesome tie dyed shirt
• I interviewed for a job and got it. I'll be a teacher associate for 10 hours a week
• We had a welcome back dance and it was great to see how we're all connected through music.
• I got to see how funny drunk people are, what a frat party looks like and the time called 2 o'clock in the morning
• I learned that I can sleep through loud music if I am really tired
• I learned what a great time volunteering can be... especially at Juniper's House. I may have to go back
• Finally, I learned that Hartford is a sketchy town, where you'll wake up to fire trucks and other loud noises

I must get back to my homework/sleeping but I wanted to update you all on what I am doing. College is fun! It's interesting! It makes you find yourself as you are left with so many choices!
