The first week at Kentucky is complete! It started off completely disorganized and a bit stressful because the school is...not the most clear communicating organization I've ever come across. I felt frustrated and discouraged the first few days, and even entertained doubts about returning to school. But two things happened that made me feel excited about being a student.
1. I parked my bike alongside hundreds of others when I went to my first German lesson, and when I came out, every single bike was outfitted with a waterproof seat cover and reflector swatch. This made me feel happy to be a part of everything.
2. I went to my opening 20th century music history lecture, and the professor managed to make a lesson centered on the syllabus captivating. Totally rad. Bingo - ready to learn, student-style.
And of course, everything starts feeling good as you get to know those around you. I went to a bbq last night with cool people and found out that the orchestra is sponsored by Maker's Mark. Now that's when you know you're where you're supposed to be.
These pictures are from around campus. Lots of brick, lots of green :)
