...there lived a girl going to school. In fact, she was just returning for her Sophomore year after a glorious summer holiday in a neighboring galaxy with her family.
Well, the move into the FLSR (Foreign Language Student Residence) is over, as is the first day of classes. We found out on our first day that there are only three girls in the German House. Three people in a six person apartment--a six person apartment that is actually big enough to house six people. Alhyaba is my only new roommate and she's quite wonderful. She lives in one room, while Laura and I share another. The third room is being turned into a gym with a stationary bike and everything. The FLSR is pretty much amazing although definitely challenging because of how much I still have to learn about the language. All my fellow German House residence are very patient and helpful. They're also all very interesting, so I'm excited for the term to unfold. The ward is pretty much awesome too.
Classes are somewhat intense, because we're doing an entire semester in 6 weeks, but both PSYCH 111 and ELANG 322 seem very promising and I'm looking forward to how much I'm going to learn!
That's it from this galaxy. To be continued in later installments of the saga.
