Burlington, Sooo Burlington

To celebrate our newfound freedom and the beautiful Vermont weather, Kit and I took a bike ride from campus to Church Street. We had some errands to do, but also wanted to get out into town.
You can see our dorm, Lyons Hall, on the right. After only getting lost a tiny bit, Kit and I locked up our bikes and ventured by foot down Church St.

We shopped around and ate lunch at Boloco, an amazing burrito place that also accepts KnightCard!!
Before we biked back, we lazed in City Hall park.

We also trekked down to the waterfront with ice cream.
A perfect way to end the summer.

Touchdown Lyons Hall

That is where I sleep! Grace Potter posters are up, tapastries are up! The room is spacious but packed. Maggie's things matched mine freakishly well. My sheets are soo comfy and Mom- I found the black pillowcase! I am finally completely unpacked. Classes start tomorrow at 8:15 for me. Spanish 101. I then have my Intro to Lit class and finish with my first Astronomy lecture. I'm free by 2:50 so Mags and I may journey into Burlington before her field hockey practise. We want to look at some plants for our dorm room. Orientation was a blast but is thankfully over. I am looking forward to haveing a schedule I can rely on.

Pack up my life and go to college? Why, I'd love to!


After one suitcase, one backpack, nine drawers, one hamper, one gymbag, and three crates, I am finally packed. The packing took most of Tuesday with a few early hours of Wednesday. But, it is finally done. I wish I could say my room looks bare, but it doesn't. Most of my personal decorations are still on the walls- I'm starting fresh in college. The plan today is to leave around noon. It takes four and a half hours to get to Burlington. My orientation starts on Thursday and my classes on Monday. Excitingg!!!
