Bellingham, Northfield, Anchorage

What an insane week. I've been to Bellingham, back for two days, and then off to Northfield Minnesota for 5 days. Yay for traveling, but nay for bad planes and red eye flights. I really should have taken pictures in Northfield. St. Olaf's campus is gorgeous. Makes me maybe begin to slightly fathom paying near $40,000 a year tuition. Almost. It reminds me of a little village on a hill. Which is basically what it is. Since everyone is required to live on campus, the residence life has a much different feel to it. The older kids get segreated off in nicer dorms where supervision is low-key (aka non-existent). They have cute cafes and restaurants and nothing ever feels crowded.

It was my best friend Carrie's birthday. 21 years old! I got to see Carrie for five days which was amazing. I got to go to a bar, which was neat. And I played some amazing intoxicated scrabble which was also neat. I don't remember any of the words I put down. But I think it may be for the best.

I got to go to Carrie's private vocal lesson which was extremely cool. I'm so proud of what she has accomplished in music. Her friends were all very sweet and I got the feeling that I could fit in there.

Exciting news-excting news-I've basically been accepted into the NW Cadiz study abroad program! Woot!!!!! Within the next week or so I will know the final word. And then....only three months until I am off to Espana! Which means in about a month or so I'm off to San Fransico to apply for my student visa. The traveling will not stop! But now--it is time for shower, homework, dinner and sleep. What a whirl of a week. But I'm glad to be cozy at home.
