On Monday it will be officially one month since I moved here to Northwestern. So much has happened in just this one month that it has felt much longer than that! I have seen my mom twice since they dropped me off 🙂 and I’ve seen the rest of my family once. Here are some serious (and some silly) Pros and Cons from the past month!
Some Pros:
- I’ve met more music nerds here than I’ve ever met before! 😀
- I can walk everywhere I need to go! No more driving 20 minutes!
- There is a more even number of guys to girls here than at Schaeffer. 😉
- I have listened to all of Bach’s Goldberg Variations for Counterpoint class.
- By the end of Honors OT, I will have written my own summary book of all of the OT!
- I can earn MONEY helping people with music theory!! 😀
- I now have friends from Wisconsin, Hungary, Colorado, Illinois, more from MN, and lots of other places!
Some Cons:
- I miss sharing a room with Jenna!!
- It can sometimes be hard to find time (or places) to be alone.
- I don’t have a piano in my room (though there is one in my building… otherwise there are ~20 practice rooms in Totino!).
- I do homework ALL weekend and EVERY afternoon/evening… except for last evening! Maybe I’m getting back into the swing of school and getting faster at writing all these papers and reading all of these books and articles. 🙂
- Some of my new friends are struggling with difficult things.
- I am struggling with past things that I never expected would come back up.
- Too much cleaning! I HATE the strong smells of cleaner in our dorm every Saturday morning. 😛 haha
- SO many people go home on the weekends! Good for getting homework done, but sad if you want to hang out or goof off with people who left.
Well, I’d better get back to those papers that I mentioned needing to write… 🙂 Adios for now, my friends!
