Dear Sarah,
My move in was pretty smooth. I didn't have to carry any of my stuff in which was incredible. Unfortunately, it took a couple of hours to unpack everything which was a pain. However, I believe I have everything I need now. For the past week and a half I've been chewed alive by mosquitos which is really awful. So on Friday night, my friends and I made a Walmart/Walgreens run to get bug spray and anti-itch medicine which I have been using non-stop. It's also been quite boring this weekend so my friend Jackie bought some board games and crafts.
Being at college is awesome and really weird. Sometimes I wake up confused, but then again it feels like I've been here for so long. The people here are so different to the people I knew in high school and my classes and professors are quite different too. I actually have free time now (amazing!) and people don't tell me what to do anymore which is quite nice. The only annoying thing is that people keep calling me Alexandria and they can't pronounce my last name :/ But I suppose over time they will learn. Every day I walk to this gristmill which is about a 10 min walk from campus and I absolutely love it! It's so beautiful and peaceful and not many people know that it's there. My friends and I like to sit by the lake and just relax for a while. Thanks for the advice about the library-It's the ideal place to study and do homework. I also discovered this hallway in one of the buildings with a bunch of private rooms with pianos. I love to go and just sit and play. It's amazing! The only language barrier I'm having is that people around here say "Lay-trobe" instead of making the 'a' short. So I get weird looks when I don't say it 'the correct' way.
I'm not local, so I don't get it.
:)
That's all for now. Good luck continuing your adjustment/moving in period.
Miss you.
