Week 8 & 9
Hello everyone, sorry for posting relatively late. It has been a chaotic week with finals here and all my assignments due. I have a final exam on Wednesday, Thursday, and two essays due Friday. I'll be extremely busy this week, but on Saturday I'm flying back home to Columbia to officially start spring break and won't be back in Oregon until March 31st to start the spring term. I can't believe I'm already halfway done! Time has gone by so fast, but I've really been grateful for the experience so far. I have learned a lot about myself and it feels extremely rewarding. The weather today was the first time since I got here that it reached over 45 degrees and it was sunny. Everyone on campus today was in a great mood and the University really felt alive. I met two guys from Idaho and had lunch with them. It was interesting to hear about their experience growing up in Idaho and their perceptions of the South. It seems like everyone from the West only knows South Caro
