Despite my not wanting to go back to Portland after enjoying the comforts and pleasure of home, I made it through my first week back. While I did not have any tests or papers to worry about, I had A LOT of reading. Even though this past week was uneventful, there were still some highlights. On Thursday evening, my friend Caitlin and I went out for sushi. We went to Mio Sushi, an amazing sushi restaurant. They make "sushi pizzas", which is seaweed topped with rice and seafood. When one lives on college food, eating off campus every so often is a necessity. Although I did not do anything big to celebrate Halloween, I did hand out candy to kids who trick or treated through the dorms. Residence Life invites neighborhood kids and their parents to trick-or-treat at UP. The kids have a blast getting candy from different dorms, even though I am not sure their parents are happy to see them get sugar high.
This coming week I get to meet with my amazing advisor to plan my schedule for next semester. Okay, I know it's just an advising appointment, but I actually enjoy meeting with my advisor every semester. He takes the time to talk with me rather than just signing my registration form. I have been an English major for a little over a year now, but I still think about how incredibly lucky I am to have an advisor who cares about me not only as a student, but also as a person. As I write about my upcoming appointment, I cannot believe I am halfway done with the semester and that I only have three more semesters of college left.
Seven more weeks left of the semester--let's see if I can make it through!
