My eyelids are drooping right now. I am very tired. So far I have been back at school now for three days, and so far it's been okay. My Spanish class will be really hard though, as our teacher informed us on Wednesday that that class would be the first and the last class that she would say anything in English in for the rest of the semester! We were not to speak English either, at all. Though I understood most of what she was saying, it was still a bit intimidating. Let's just say by the end of the semester, my Spanish should be really good. It had better. Ok, yes, I'm scared.

I really don't have any actual homework persay this first week, which is wonderful. I am seeing more and more familiar faces each day, and still meeting new people. I am really beginning to feel very at home at my new school. The campus is absolutely gorgeous! It's very green, with lots of big leafy trees. The air is clear, and there is a large creek that runs along the back side. As one of my favorite literary characters, Anne Blythe, would say, it provides a large "scope for the imagination." I am happy.

My sister Rebekah is coming home for the weekend this Friday evening. I am excited. I haven't seen her for the last few weeks. Maybe we'll sneak away for a late-night pint of Ben and Jerry's from the Rite Aid down the road. I keep a box of plastic spoons in my glove compartment for that very reason. Being a woman means you never know when that next urge for chocolate will come, so you must always be prepared. Ahh, the complexity of the female psyche! I shall leave you to ponder that.
