Starting the University Life.

I have arrived at my destination and I am happily settle in to my dorm. I am really happy here. The ground is gorgeous and harry potter references are being made very regularly. Everybody is soo welcoming and I have classes in a freaking castle. You can't get any better than that. When I saw the castle for the first time I gasped at it's beauty. It's absolutely gorgeous. I couldn't believe my eyes. Just everything about this place is stunning. The wide open spaces. Rolling country hills hoping with wild bunnies. Gardens that smells of lavender and roses. Apple trees and acorn trees flood the grounds. If you feel lonely there are cows near by that enjoy their grass and the sunshine. This place brings a smile to your face. I love it.

I bough my books and man. My art history textbook is so large and heavy my arms are going to fall off at some point. If I didn't forget my camera at my moms place than I would show you a picture. I will post pictures very soon. Anyways, having my books on my shelf is making my form a little more like home. I brought some of my own books like Infinite Jest and the two volumes of Sherlock Holmes. In addition I brought my big wooden R that belonged to my dad, a pencil holder, a small gorilla and Sirius Black figure. I also couldn't forget my Nietzsche mug. My computer, iPhone and iPod nano came for the trip and so did my pillow case and quilt that I made. I feel at home and very comfortable.

I visited an old church that is on the grounds and it was stunning. I couldn't go inside because it was lock but walking around the cemetery was relaxing as weird as that sounds. There was a feeling of quietness and it was peaceful. Seeing the mist and hills in the background, seeing the sunset sink into the horizon and the countless trees made it breathless. (Ha! Funny punn.) At the castle there is a pub called The Headless Drummer and I had my first alcoholic cider. It was delicious. There were people singing Karaoke and it was hilarious. Classes start soon and I can't be more excited to start.

My roommate is lovely and she is very sweet and kind. She is a little shy but I know she will be right as rain when classes start. The feeling of being a university student is rewarding. Knowing that you worked hard to be here and because you did, you earned it. I love it.

I love you guys very much and I will update you guys soon on my adventure.
