Thoughts on That Moment

Somewhere between seeing the Microbial Sciences building and watching your football team wreck shit on ESPN I had a little moment of realization. I had been told by many advisers, professors, alumni and students about how UW is the greatest college in the world. I defiantly placed it pretty high before this, but today I realized what they were talking about. This place is so incredible. I have not even been to one class yet. Long boarding and biking all over the place, swimming in the lake, it is all so much fun. The view in Lakeshore is spectacular. It is going to be an incredible year. That is all.

Swimming in Dat Lake

Jumped in Lake Mendota in the pitch black and pouring lake, with like 20 people from the dorm. It was quite the bonding moment. Community involvement, friendship building, all that orientation freshman type stuff. I felt pretty proud since I led the charge in getting people to come. Apparently people are very afraid of pneumonia around here, got some strange looks from people. I must say though, UW is so damn awesome. It is going to be a damn good year.

Thoughts on "Back Home"

So I got back to Jersey this afternoon. I am exhausted times ten and have work tomorrow morning. Yes life is good. The trip to Madison was absolutely amazing, and I am working on uploading all like 40 of the shitty cellphone pictures I took. But before that I just wanted to talk about Madison / UW and how I feel about it. I have never been one to have "school spirit", and wouldn't be caught dead in high school team shirt or anything like that. Not to say I was uninvolved, I just wasn't going to cheer on the football team as they lost everything.  All that aside, I am wearing my Red Wisconsin T-shirt right now and I am damn proud of being a Badger. The college is absolutely amazing. I have not even been to one class but I am already in love. The campus buildings are all incredible and the architecture / landscaping is beautifully spread across the massive campus. You will see in the pictures but yah. It is just an all around great place and the people there are all polite, helpful and kind. None of them are from New Jersey haha... Lake Mendota flanks the whole campus and it is breathtaking. My dorm is what I would call "lake-front" property and I think I am going to join the sailing club. As for academics I will be majoring in Microbiology with a certificate in Computer Science...hopefully. I just can't freaking wait to go!
Pictures will be tomorrow I promise.
