newness

I'm finally back on the Mountain! And it feels so good. I've been helping with Orientation Team and the freshman finally arrive tomorrow. I'm super excited to meet them all because they are practically my same age since I'm a youngin for my grade, so its like 200 new friends I get to meet! Also, cross country starts tomorrow, woot woot! We should have a bunch of new runners too, so its doubly exciting! So much newness, but not newness in the stuff that you would be nervous about being new, like living away from home or hard classes, just newness in the stuff that is fun to be new, like friends! I'm really looking forward to this year, to my new room (which I WILL keep organized), to classes that aren't solely sciencey, and to hanging out with good friends.
Also, I'm looking forward to getting a copy of The Mockingjay in my hands. If you haven't heard of the Hunger Games series, you need to read them! It is such a weird and awful premise, but then it becomes the most addicitng book you have ever read. The third one comes out this month. For real, read it! Shout out to Anna Strock for suggesting it!
