College: Summer Camp or Life?
This whole thing doesn’t seem real to me. I feel like I have been on vacation or at some academic summer camp this past month. I don’t know if it’s the abnormal heat or the southern draw that people have here, but somehow this place doesn’t quite feel like home yet. I never thought that I would end up in Texas-actually that is the last place I thought I would be. I feel like I’ve had an extended sleep over with my roommate, and shortly I will return home to my queen size bed. That’s not to say that I am not enjoying myself, in fact I love it, but I feel lost the majority of the time. I think that it’s because I have no sense of direction, and right when I think I know where I am, I am actually on the opposite side of campus. At home I always know that west is where the mountains are, therefore I generally know my way around. Speaking the mountains, that explains the title of my blog, “3-oh-3.” “303” is the area code of my hometown, but this blog is supposed to be anonymous, so I guess I’ll let you figure out where that is.

That is so funny that you feel that way because I feel EXACTLY the same way. It really hasn't hit me yet that this is now a semi-permanent situation. Don't get me wrong, I love it here but it all seems so surreal. I feel as though the professors are counselors, Umphrey Lee is camp food, our dorm and room-mate are just temporary and in about a month it will all be over and we will be back in our homes, eating moms cookies and sleeping in our queen sized beds. I haven't quite reached that point of realizing that I am no longer a high school student, but now a full fledged "collegiate".
Glad to know there is a another happy camper out there :)
