New Year, New School, New Country

I realize I haven't updated this blog in ages. Things got quite hectic at the end of the semester and most of you know about my interesting adventure of getting home. Maybe one day if I have some spare time I'll write it all out and post it, but most likely that won't be happening :)


Anyways, I'm now at the home campus in Syracuse, NY and I'm slowly but surely adjusting to this new life here. The academics are much harder, the weather is much more gloomy, and the excursions to new places are much less, but nonetheless I have continued to make some amazing friends and fill my adventure time doing just as fun and exciting things with them.  The majority of my new-found friends are my brothers and sisters in Campus Crusade here on campus. They have been such an amazing group. From the very first day they have always welcomed me with open arms and now I get sad having to stay in my room and do homework instead of hanging out with whomever from Cru. 


Because I have a rather heavy academic load this semester I can't update this and be as lengthy as I would like, but I will try hard to at least put up some pictures every week and a few bullet points and what not :D


So, for now, here are some of the fun things I've done so far here at SU:
Successfully unpacked and moved into my dorm room!

Orientation Dinner at World-Renown Restaurant, Dinosaur BBQ

Sat on a giant pile of snow!

Cheered on the Orangemen against Cincinnati!  

Prepared for Orientation Late Night at the Gym Games!

Won an inflatable horse race!

Beat Cliff in the inflatable race by a toe!


Bundled up for -20 degree weather! 

Enjoyed delicious cafeteria comfort food, making my way to the F15!
Enjoyed my first Bubble Tea at the Unique Tea House!

Rode the South Campus bus at 1am singing and playing songs with these guys! (Hopefully a video will soon be posted.. So far, the funnest night I've had here!)

Rearranged the extra-wide open double after the roomie moved out!
