Beginning College (Again)

I believe I've already done this before.  Moving in to a new dorm at a college, trying to meet a good group of friends, and making sure you're getting to classes on time.  This year, I repeated this common practice done by thousands of new college students every year.

As many of you know, I went to Wartburg College last year.  Well, it seemed to not fit me.  It was quite an adjustment to go from big city Kansas City, to small town rural Iowa.  Yes, and mind you, the winters just made me wonder "what am I doing here?"  This year began a new era for my college career.  I transferred to K-State.  Yes, K-State, ladies and gentlemen.  After growing up KU all the way, I never thought I would see the day that I would attend a rival school of KU.  But this day did come, and boy, and I overwhelmed!  Going from a college of 1800, to a college of 20000+!  Woah man.  It's crazy.  But I'm giving it my best shot because, well, I wanted change after last year, and I certainly got it!  We'll see how this first semester goes, and I hope it turns out well!  Overall I like my classes, some more than others.

I've ventured into Landscape Design here, and am really enjoying it.  Right now we're working on how to lay out a lot plan for a client.  We've started reproducing a sample on paper and scaling.  Yeah, it's been challenging at first, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Of all the things that are different, one or two stick out.  I really like being closer to KC (only 1.5 hours now, from 6 hours at Wartburg).  Also, being in a bigger city has its advantages.  And finally, no more brutal N. Iowa winters...although I have to say, it really made me appreciate Kansas "winters".

Well, I believe that is all for me now.  More later...if I remember that I still have this blog!  :D
