Thursday marked 21 days--or three weeks--since I arrived at UWC. It's really hard to believe that just over a month ago, I was on a family vacation, and UWC couldn't have seemed further away. Three weeks seems like a really short time, but it feels like I've been here a really long time! I guess that's just part of UWC--the experience is so intense that each day seems to last for a week!
Friday marked the end of my first full week of classes! It's been an interesting week--with a lot more free time than I thought (that's going to disappear...). My favorite class right now is definitely history--it's a really cool class! My CAS have been fun so far (though most of them haven't even started yet!). On Thursday, I had theater lighting, which is my smallest CAS, and should be pretty busy! The UWC theater is definitely smaller than the CA one, but it's pretty well equipped, and we're given a lot of responsibility. The fun thing about UWC is that there are productions and such going on all the time, so there's never a quiet moment! All in all, though, the last couple of days have been pretty quiet!
That all changes tonight. Tonight (Friday night) is Buddy Dance. It's a big UWC-USA tradition. Basically, the idea is that a second-year picks a first-year "buddy" to spend the night with. The catch is that the first year has no idea who his/her buddy is. It's pretty nerve-wracking to just be sitting here not knowing who your buddy is!! Anyway...buddy dance calls! It's been the best three weeks of my life so far...and I have only more to come--the end of the beginning!!
