I'll Find My Way Back To You

So it's been over a month since I have posted and I apologize for that. Quick recap on my life:
1. I finished the first semester of my junior year and I think it was pretty successful;
2. I am on leave this semester to participate in Georgetown's Semester in Washington program which I will describe in a little bit;
3. I went home for winter break.

First, I chose to take a semester off because I needed to take a break from going to classes everyday and this program allows me to intern Tuesday through Thursday each week so that I have a change a pace for a little while which will hopefully reinvigorate my desire to learn back at Lehigh in the fall. All of that, and I would really like to have enough classes for a full senior year. The facet that I am over halfway finished with my undergraduate experience is truly terrifying and I am really not happy about this.

I have been a Georgetown student for two days and there are already things that I miss terribly about Lehigh. The first would be Linderman. I guess I unknowingly assumed that most old schools would have old libraries, unfortunately not the case. I miss the beauty and comfort of Linderman, where the modernity of the renovations fit with the restorations of its original essence. I don't know what I am going to do without such a gorgeous place to study for the semester.

I also miss that printing is included in tuition and an abundance of public printers. Seriously amazing perk that I definitely took for granted the last five semesters. I actually had to go buy a printer today and even then, it can't auto double side like the ones at school. I mean, call me a nerd that I really do miss the printers at Lehigh but I do!

On the other hand, I think that personally, I needed to take the semester off to truly appreciate the education that I am getting at Lehigh as well as the experience. I am here and it is going to be a lot of work and a very different kind than I am used to but I guess that's going to be a good thing.

I have wasted sufficient time writing this since I have a ton of reading to do tonight for class tomorrow morning. ;)
