Turning into Fall

The library during the day

My dorm

I can see (and hear!) the trains from my window

took some pictures outside the library

This week has been very hard- I have a serious cold that makes me very tired and is almost impossible to get over!  The work really seems to pile up when you're sick.  Other than that, my classes are going well.  I am having a lot of fun really getting to know the professors.  They absolutely love what they do, which really comes across in their teaching, and is so different than high school.

  I've made a lot of friends, too!  One is a senior, Polly, who everyone says looks like my sister," she's really nice.  She is from Missouri.  Another girl, on my floor, is Elle.  She is from Kansas City, Missouri.  We have a lot of fun together!  Yesterday we went to the laundromat and did one million loads of laundry, since our dorm is attached to another dorm and we only have 2 washers and 2 dryers for both buildings (4 floors of people).  It is IMPOSSIBLE to wash your clothes!!!! So we resorted to going into town.

   I'm having fun, it's weird that I'm getting more comfortable here, since I still think of Bloomington as "home", but I've heard from upperclassmen that eventually campus will feel like home and I won't want to leave.  We will just have to see.

Love,

Kate
