It's time for a welcome back for me, I suppose.  It's definitely been a while since I've lasted posted on here.  I was reading back through some of my stuff from last year, and I was amazed by how much has changed since then.  Yet at the same time, old feelings came flooding back just sifting through the pages of my thoughts. 

I supposed that to try to fill in all of the space between when I last wrote and now would be a daunting task, so I'll just say that college has been pretty good for me so far.  I mean it's had ups and downs, but overalls, there have been a lot more ups then downs. 

Last year, after getting waitlisted at Brown, I thought UNC would still be a good school to go to, but it just wasn't what I had envisioned.  I was excited about UNC, just not like I would have been if I was headed up to Rhode Island.  But I can honestly say that I think things worked out as they were supposed to.  I really like UNC.  I've grown up as a Carolina fan, so it's really great to be a student here.  And, I like that I'm only an hour and a half from home.  That's been a big surprise.  I thought that would bug me, but it's turned out really well.  While I'm here, I feel far enough away, yet when I want to go home for the weekend, it's easy to do. 

I think you learn a lot about yourself, your personality, and your character when you're making new friends.  College has been a learning experience for me thus far.

Well I definitely plan on trying to write here more regularly from now on.  I miss it.  I was reminded of how much I miss it when one of my friends showed me his blog that he'd started last night.  So here I am.
