Happy Friday! Wow, it's been way too long since I've posted. My life has been so busy for the past few months (years?) that I barely have time to do anything. I finally finished the never-ending summer of nannying and working at my school's summer program, I moved into my dorm at KU with my roommate (and best friend from high school), I went through formal recruitment and pledged Sigma Kappa, and I just finished my first week of classes!
Lots of crazy stuff going on that, a couple of months ago, felt ages away. Rush was super hot, stressful, and gross. I have never sweat so much in my life, thanks to the fact that I had to walk to 12 different houses in 100-degree weather. There were some tears involved because I was released from my mom's sorority after the second day, but I'm so happy to be a Sigma Kappa!
I loved going to all my classes this week. I'm taking English, Math, Philosophy, Psychology, and Anthropology. I've already had quite a bit of homework, but thankfully I have enough free time to get it done. Once I find a job, however, I'm afraid that's going to change. My favorite class so far has been Anthropology, which is a lecture (with 300 students) I have twice a week, and I go to a discussion once a week, which only has about 10 students. I love learning about different cultures and why people act differently!
My dad is coming to pick me up this evening to take me home for Labor Day weekend. Honestly, the hardest part about being away from home has been how much I miss my dogs. I love them so stinkin' much and I just hope they don't forget about me! I'll definitely need to take them to the dog park this weekend. I also just can't wait to be with my family, sleep in my own bed, eat my mom's food, and not have to wear shoes in the shower! Ah, the luxuries of home...
Carpe Diem,
Brooke
