The saga continues...

After some thought on the matter, I've decided to continue posting here on my blog throughout the coming semester, even though I am no longer abroad (thus the web address is a bit of a misnomer from here on out, sorry!) and my entries will probably be both more sporadic and less adventuresome, since I am, after all, in rural Ohio, not, say, Athens. I will, however, be writing occasional updates on how college life is, on general readjustment-to-America feelings, about my classes, my friends, my writing, my life, and, ya know, growing up!


(Yes, that's me being silly in the back. Oh dear.)

With that disclaimer out of the way...Oberlin's been great so far. I am living in a lovely apartment with three other girls (none of whom I knew prior to last weekend when I moved in) and taking five classes, the majority of which (finally!) are within my major (creative writing):
The Graphic Narrative (yes, comics...and graphic novels...we're reading 20 over the course of the semester, and starting work on one of our own)
300-level Fiction Workshop (with my favorite professor in the department!)
Reading for Writing (I compile a reading list, read all the books on it, and keep a journal of my reactions)
Introduction to Comparative Literature (with one of Oberlin's best professors)
Introduction to Economics (my test run for this crazy idea I have to go to business school later in life)

There's much more to say, but the first week back is always crazy hectic, so it will have to wait a couple more days...soon, though: more words, more images (including ones of my apartment!), etc. Thanks for reading :)
