Back for Round Two

The first week of the second semester is over, and I am completely worn out. I have seven classes this semester, and I'm actually beginning to wonder if I've taken on too much. I am so grateful for the weekend because I get to sleep it off and do homework. Looking forward to all the events this semester, and to Spring Break.

I'm hoping this second semester is going to be so much better than the first. The first was quite interesting, being a new student, and an international one at that, but this term, I'm looking forward to really settling into the swing of things. I'd like to explore Florida more, and I'm going to have a crazy work load (eighteen credits over seven classes)

Christmas was great, but it didn't snow :( That means I have to wait another whole year to see snow. At first I was excited at the prospect of staying here over Christmas and seeing snow, but once I got to Maryland, I immediately regretted it. I had NO IDEA how cold it gets in this country. At home in the cold season, I've never had to wear anything more than a simple sweater or cardigan, now I was wishing for a face mask and a full body suit. Despite my initial excitement, I am sad to say that spent the whole of winter glued to a bowl of hot soup and wishing for the sunny, hot beaches of Nigeria.
