FRIDAY!!!

I'm so glad it's the weekend...another crazy week is done, but it feels like we've already been at school for at least a month (in a good way).  Here's a list of things I'm especially excited about:
-Atwater breakfast.  Today I had a great combination: plain yogurt, strawberries, grapes, and dark chocolate.  So delicious. 
-Doing the woo drill at crew practice this morning :)
-A lovely (albeit early) week of rowing and sunrises on Lake Dunmore
-Seeing some shooting stars
-The return of some t.v. shows - Glee this week was especially good
I'm sure there are many more things I have forgotten, but that's a solid list for now.  I can't wait for the rest of the semester.  Fall is always my favorite, and I have a feeling this year is going to be great.  Happy weekend!

and so it begins

I'm super sorry for neglecting the sunny side recently...life has been crazy!  One week of classes down and I'm already feeling quite busy, but it's great to be back at Middlebury.  Fall in Vermont is so pretty, and the past few days have been mostly warm and pleasant (though there's a frost warning tonight!).

It's so weird to be a senior.   I love feeling like I know what I'm doing, but I also miss some of the excitement of freshman fall.  Mostly, though, I'm thankful to have such great friends and be able to spend my fourth year here.

my lovely window and plants!
Speaking of why Middlebury is awesome, I got a free plant from the greenhouse this week!  It's called a Purple Heart, and the leaves are supposed to stay purple if it gets enough sun.  It was also Greek night yesterday, and falafel is always a wonderful treat.  It has also been lovely to be rowing on the water again.  Other than today's upcoming 6k, crew is nice :)

That's about all for now, but here's a song I recently discovered and like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjoA4nYBD5U

May the week ahead be happy and successful!
