As this semester draws to a close, I realize how much I love living in Ubuntu. I'm probably reiterating a lot of what you've heard already but it doesn't feel like a dorm over here. It feels like a home and a family. It feels so natural. I love that I can sit out in the kitchen to do my homework and I know everyone who comes in and they know me. And when I say I know them, I mean I know more than their name - we know what tests people have coming up and what groups they're involved in. When I came in at the beginning of the year I really only knew one person I was going to be living with, but now we've grown really close which is so exciting! Put a few of us together and we are guarenteed to spend most of the time laughing and joking. Sometimes as I'm walking to dinner with everyone, or chilling in the lobby, or [insert activity] I catch myself feeling like I'm in some movie montage of all the silly good times - you know the ones with the peppy feel-good dance-around-in-your socks music? It's been way better than I ever imagined.
So even though I'm kind of scared for my classes next semester, I've never been more excited about being able to return after a break! I'm excited to continue living with this group of people and for those in our community who weren't here this semester...KELSEY RETURNS!! Woo! I also hope that we can grow from this first semester and realize where we can do a better job, especially in regards to living simply. I know one thing we're working on is buying shower timers (they're like waterproof kitchen timers so no they won't shut the water off on us) so that we can be more aware of how long we're taking and work on setting our own PRs :)
Signing off for finals week. Peace to all this Christmas season!
