Homecoming!

Hello again!

Exciting times here at Georgetown College!

Homecoming week is upon us and everyone is getting ready for the festivities. The benches in front of each dorm are being painted, there are Songfest practices going on every night, and the whole school is getting ready for the big game on Saturday. As an incoming freshman you are told how fun and exciting this week is but I can’t wait to experience it for myself!

Fall break has just ended and it’s back to class tomorrow. I had a great weekend at home with my parents and even got to see some of my best friends. I went to a concert, went shopping, went to Keeneland, and of course went to cheer on the cats! It was also a great time of resting and I finally caught up on my sleep! After being on my own here at school for a couple months, going home makes me realize how independent I am becoming.

There are so many things coming up here at Georgetown like Halloween and Fall retreat, it just keeps getting better! It seems like there is something to do every weekend which has definitely made my transition easier. I look forward to all the different activities that are available to us, such as free movie night sponsored by GAC. Getting to see a movie in theatres for free, I’m in! I also use the weekends to catch-up on homework and just hang out with friends. It really is a relaxing time here on campus.

My first two papers are over and graded and it’s on to the next! These past couple weeks have been very busy with school, and mid-terms are next week. I can’t believe it’s already that time of year! I’ve learned the best ways to study and have slowly started to learn each teacher’s expectations. I feel like I am finally adjusted to this new lifestyle and even got corrected by my mom when I called Georgetown “home”. That’s how I truly feel though; I’m so comfortable here. All my friends and the relationships I have made with the faculty are just some of the reason why I love this place!

Well I’m off to study with some friends but stayed tuned!
