There's No Place I'd Rather Be

So I was sitting in the same library when I started writing this blog about a year ago. I discussed the first big snow of the year and it just so happens, that might be today since it has been snowing for the last few hours. It's weird though since it hasn't been that cold this week which was nice for the last week of classes. But here we are, getting ready for finals, two very odd weeks. There are some really great things that happen during this period of time like my house's traditional Christmas dinner where our chef dresses up as Santa and gives gifts to all of the sisters or the simple fact that we have no school for a month. This year though is very bittersweet for me since I am taking next semester to participate in a different kind of adventure.

I chose to leave Lehigh for next semester knowing that I would miss things like the new pledge class that would enter my sorority, all of the fun things my friends and I would usually do in the spring as well as some of the interesting classes that may not be offered at another feasible time. On the other hand, I also have friends who are going abroad to study in interesting place like Prague and have their own set of interesting adventures and I don't know what Lehigh would be like without my complete set of friends.

It's a little bit scary, the prospect of leaving Lehigh for a short taste of the real world even knowing that I will be back in about six months but since I don't want to think about it anymore, I will think about new things, like the paper I should be writing right now.
