Sweet Disposition

Hello all,

Well, it's been awhile hasn't it? I apologize for the temporary hiatus, and hope it doesn't have to happen again in the near future! Christmas Break was the longest break in the history of breaks, and I just couldn't wait to get back to campus. It seems like I only moved back to Room 138 yesterday, but in reality I've been back for about three weeks now. A busy schedule and heavy homework load makes time fly by much faster than it should. This semester I'm taking some really fun classes. I have TWO, yes TWO, literature classes, and also a philosophy, biology, and sociology class. Of those, two are Honors courses (British Lit and Ethics). Those two are proving to be quite a bit more work than my other classes, but it's worth it to me. Hard work now will pay off later, hopefully. If you're a potential student interested in the Honors or OXFORDDD Honors Program, I STRONGLY recommend that you check it out. They're amazing programs, and I feel so fortunate to be apart of them.
This semester hasn't just been busy with homework, but with other things on campus too. Rush and recruitment started as soon as break ended. I have many friends who are now Greek, as well as some who are PHA's. A surprising number of my friends, including myself, also stayed independent. Everyone seems to be happy with their new sisters, brothers, and choices. I'm glad that all has went so well :).
Campus seems to be full of potential students taking tours and sitting in on classes. If you're one of those students, I hope you love your first visit to Georgetown as much as I did. It's a great place to be, so you should definitely come here next fall. Where else will you find such amazing professors? That's right, even though you give me more than enough homework for every day of the week, I still think you're amazing Dr. Burch, Hadaway, and Barbaccia. I'm very thankful for you guys. It's because of its staff that Georgetown is the kind of school that it is. This isn't a place where you fade into the background because you have 200 other peers in one class. On this campus, professors actually know you name and talk to you when they see you. They know your handwriting, whether or not you actually read what you were supposed to read for homework, and if you're texting instead of listening to them in class. It's fantastic. Okay, okay, my rant about how much better small campuses are is now over. My apologies.

Last, but not least, I recently saw the movie Sanctum with my two best friends. If you haven't seen it, GO SEE IT! It's amazing.

XOXO, K

P.S.-- Warm weather, please come soon?
