emma leigh’s antarctic blog

okay, i promised jana that i would post tonight, so here it is.

we spoke tonight on the phone to commemorate our ice anniversary. a few days ago was the year anniversary of us arriving on the ice for the first time. i had no idea that so much would happen in such a short time, but it has. my life is so different than before i left, and yet so much of it is the same. its really quite odd. i’m still having a hard time dealing with it.

i know that i have been horrible at blogging, but i really want to make a concerted effort to keep up now. who knows how i’ll actually do though.

between school and taking care of (it seems) everyone else in my life, tonight i feel as though i’m crashing. i was hoping to get a day to sleep in tomorrow, but i don’t want my bro to have to go to court alone, so i’ll be there with him first thing tomorrow.

i am crashing for the night though. that’s for sure. my valerian tea has kicked in, and my body and mind have checked out.

g’night all.

ayup, that’s right. today was my first day of classes at trinity college in hartford. go me.

i started off with chaucer - we will be reading the canterbury tales in middle english. i was a bit terrified, shall we say, after that class. luckily i ran into my advisor just after class, and he assured me that everything would be fine, and that i could handle it. i hope he’s right!

i went home for lunch, and then headed back to campus for my 6pm transitional seminar. it’s ‘understanding our global age’. it seems like it’ll be a great class. there is a LOT of reading, but the choice of books is quite interesting. more on that as the class progresses. he’s also making sure we get dinner delivered every week, so that’s pretty kickass, if i do say so myself.

all in all, i’m a bit overwhelmed, but still pretty excited.

that’s it for today =)
