Moving back to SMC

Hello everyone!

I'm a little unsure of the future of this blog. It might be time to retire it and transition to something different. But that's talk for another day.

I am getting ready to move back to my uni back in America, Saint Michael's College (as an aside: I know that college is a different level of schooling than university in Britain, but they are used interchangeably in America). I will be living in a set-up slightly similar to my conditions in Talybont North. I will have five other roommates (all girls) and our own kitchen (no longer a slave to meal plan!). On the other hand, my place of residence is a townhouse, not a flat. We have a common area, something I felt that my flat lacked (kitchen notwithstanding). I also have a double room with a roommate (the other girls have single rooms upstairs with a shared bathroom). Our shared room is gigantic and has a bathroom. I feel like I've hit the jackpot. My roomie studied abroad in Dublin this past spring. She is also a rugby fan (supporting Ireland), so we're looking forward to watching a couple matches. Six Nations could get a little crazy though...

I dropped some dishes, bedding, towels and more off at my room yesterday. It was nice to get some stuff all set up before my official move-in this Saturday (tomorrow!!).

I'm not using the Welsh flag as a blanket, I just needed a place to keep it for the time being!

I walked around on campus yesterday. Our new student center is almost finished. I watched it being built last fall, so I am curious about how it's turned out (There is no equivalent to the Taf there. Gutted). I liked being able to cross campus in about 10 minutes with only one crosswalk (my trek to class in Cardiff was around 20 minutes with 2 or 3 crosswalks, depending on the route and traffic). I also liked how the pavement wouldn't shoot water at you if you stepped on a certain corner (Oh, Talybont North). I enjoyed seeing old friends. I soaked up the atmosphere, since my last official day on campus was back in December! I am returning a more confident girl. I have a career goal, a new academic advisor in-the-works, and I'm a senior!! How did that happen?? 

 Overall, I am very excited for this upcoming year.

If anyone wants to send me some mail while I'm at school (my birthday is next month, hint hint), here's my address:

Alright! I have to get back to getting ready/freaking out.

Cheers!
