WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
“I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.”
--Galileo Galilei
Chello everybody! Hope your week has been swell! Mine has been another full of studying and stressing for upcoming exams. Although it is sad to think that my Freshman year is over, I am eager to wrap those darn tests up and head home for summer. In the mean time, I’m still discovering what it’s like to be on my own in the Real World so without further adieu:
#1: The stars shine brighter inside. After nearly eight months at UNC, I finally made my first visit to the renowned Morehead Planetarium for a star show on the “Carolina Skies”. It was fabulous and although it almost put me to sleep, it was nice to catch a glimpse of what UNC offers to the public. While I went for extra credit for my Astronomy class, I could tell that the bubbly third graders there were thrilled to be experiencing something so cool. So if you get the opportunity, I highly recommend checking out the planetarium cause it was awesome! (And it was inspiration for this week’s quote J)
#2: This week the UNC ballers got schooled. As much as I hate to say it, the basketball players at our school can be a little sassy when it comes to fans; brilliant athletes, but sassy nonetheless. This week however, the players took a moment out of their busy schedules to play ball with one lucky visitor and he gave them a run for their money. What is so impressive about the challenger is that he is just 8! I was very impressed with the boys and their friendliness towards the boy and his dreams of playing basketball. I hope that they can remember to treat every fan like this and that they all continue to make us champs!
#3: Time is dwindling and my collection of stuff is expanding. As this weekend was a fairly deserted one for the hill, I took the opportunity to begin tackling the hoarder’s episode that has become my dorm room. I am trying to get ahead on packing so that I don’t have to worry about it during exam week but boy were my endeavors ambitious! I spent four hours on Friday on the packing project and all I have to show for it are walls void of pictures and a clean desk. More progress to come fingers crossed!
To Brighten Your Week:
And my personal favorite...
Sorry I don’t have more for y’all! UNC tends to get a bit antsy and wild leading up to exams though so I have great hopes that this week will present a plethora of interesting real world experiences. Love ya. Miss ya. Mean it.
