Sour Lemonade

I am back! So happy and thrilled to be back at my second home, Sarah Lawrence!
I set out a week ago (time flies by!) on thursday night with my mom, and we stayed at a friends home in western new york, before making the long, long drive to Bronxville/Yonkers. We pulled into the college just before 5, and started unloading my stuff.
I am living in a really nice single in Dudley Lawrence this year. Dudley Lawrence is one of the old dorms ,and it was named after Sarah Lawrence's son, Dudley. I am living in a corner room, which is really lovely, except for the GIANT radiator and the funny wall that juts out so that there is no good place to put the bed.... a fun discovery after a long car trip.... I am sharing my adjoining bathroom with my good friend, and fellow Whovian club co-chair, Josephine. Still trying to unpack and get settled in, but I will post pictures when I am totally finished!!
On saturday I helped out with move in day for the freshman, where I was in charge of telling parents to chill out in the tent with refreshments and information booths so that their students could get registered, which was a really fun job, but I am fairly certain I took the instruction to be excited and peppy to a whole new level......
Registering for classes, interviewing professors, catching up with friends, and babysitting have made this week simply fly by! Yesterday I had a bit of a snag, and I came home from an evening babysitting the cutest little boy to find that my suite mate had made a huge batch of chocolate chip cookies!
I am so glad to be back at the school that stole my heart. Hoping my schedule works out, and just truly looking forward to all the good stuff I am expecting this year to bring.
I didn't have the best summer. But I did learn to stop taking life for granted so much, and to try to be in the moment more. Life is going to throw obstacles in your way, which is pretty much what my summer amounted to, but thats actually okay. Plans change, but all we can do is make lemonade out of sour lemons and hope that it tastes okay, and if it doesn't, just throw some more sugar in!

May your day be filled with joy, and your heart with happiness!
