First Full Week and a Trip Home

Exhaustion. That is the best word to describe the way I felt after the first full week of classes. There was so much to do everyday of the week outside of studying and homework that I barely found any time to sleep.  I feel like I pushed myself so hard this week - I need to learn better time management.  After such an exhausting week I needed a weekend at home.  I do love it here though.  In the few weeks that I've been at MC I've already found some great friends who share the same beliefs and morals as me.  This is one reason that I chose to be at MC.  

I knew in deciding to come to MC I would be around others who chose to be here for the same reasons as me.  Even though I've found it very easy to fit in just like a second home, that's all it is right now, a second home.  As much as I love it, it has only been a few weeks and I'm still not acquainted with it yet.  I haven't been here long enough to be myself.  I know that in time I'll feel more comfortable here, but just not yet.

I do love it at MC, but it was also really nice to come home this weekend.  Even though I have found new friends, it was really great to be around my old friends.  They are my comfort zone and I can completely be myself around them.  It was nice to kind of be free for a few days.  Whenever I meet new people I'm not completely myself for a while.  That's one thing that has made "moving out" and away from home difficult.  I know that in time I'll get more comfortable at MC and that is something that I'm looking forward to.
