Fall Semester - Where did it Go!?



I have finished the first semester of my sophomore year. It's an exciting accomplishment, but it has gone by so quickly! This is my first post since the summer due to my VERY busy schedule this past semester. There has not been a dull moment in the past three months. The sophomores at Oxford are the "upperclassmen," so I have been busy as club president, research student, SI, and studying in general. The studying has to happen sometime....
I have successfully completed physics - an accomplishment I am relieved of. This class was the most challenging class I have ever had, but I am so thankful that I survived! I feel as though I can take on anything now - graduate school, organic chemistry, whatever; I have finished Dr. S physics class, and nothing can stop me now!
I've had a lot of fun this semester, too. Attached is a picture of Fall Formal. It was held at the Fox Theater in Atlanta - one of my favorite places. I used to get dressed up, go to a nice dinner, and then see a play for my birthday when I was a little younger. I love the theater. I recently saw the Nutcracker a few weekends ago, which was magical!
For Fall Break I had a lot of fun volunteering at a national park. I met some awesome new friends, including some new freshmen :) I'm super psyched about Spring Break next semester - I'm on the planning committee for Alternative Spring Break. We are going to south Georgia to build a Habitat House; last year's ASB was the BEST week of freshman year!!!
I'm about to leave Oxford for home - winter break!
Au revoir,
Susanna
