Rachel and I visited the glorious Athens botanical gardens the other day! It is enormous and beautiful. We tried to find the river but somehow got lost in the windy roads and actually ended up...funny story...kind of interrupting a garden wedding.
Haha, oops! (Don't worry, it wasn't that bad, we just passed the bride on her way to her entrance!)
It was lots of fun and I am looking forward Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07056880614823708068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-989664955575238357.post-50556416013254356742010-09-10T21:38:00.000-05:002010-09-10T21:38:50.398-05:00tailgating last weekend
Tailgating is a big deal at UGA. Girls (not just the sorority ones) generally wear actual dresses in red/black/white and there are tailgate tables all over campus before the game. Doug, Danielle, and I were invited to Lauren's family's tailgate, where we enjoyed their delicious food and the company of her parents and boyfriend Phil. So fun!

I just wanted to take some time to contemplate this now that I have officially been here for a month. In comparing the transition from high school to undergrad, I realized I was a lot more anxious the first time around.

Friday night we celebrated Cara's birthday and Jess' masters proposal.
It was wear-white-night so that is why everyone is matchy in the photos.
It was lots of fun...and maybe a little outrageous!
Saturday I was lazy and Sunday I mostly read for classes. Good times. I can't believe this is our third week (um, what??).

I am planning on having a few adventures because basically I need to put more photos of things on here. Namely new friends and Athens in general, so you actually believe my stories on here. I checked out the pool at my apartment today and I think it's going to be nice to go there Friday late afternoon because no one was there!

Happy Tuesday. I was kind of under the impression that today was Monday, so I have no idea where Monday actually went. Things are starting to get into a regular routine this week. I moved my desk around and am going to put up some photos in my office so it will feel a little bit more like home!

Please enjoy this adorable photo of my cohort! We are clearly very organizational people because those rows are perfection. (Back: Doug, Kendra, Lauren, Sierra; Front: Me, Danielle, Emily). This is from the potluck get together we had on Sunday night at my place before classes started. We're going to take turns at each apartment.

I am still working on trying to "train" my body to have a regular sleep cycle from 11-7 but so far I am still transitioning. Yesterday we had statistics (which I am hoping to test out of) and psychopathology (which is going to be a substantial chunk of reading and class discussion).
