Vermont is Shocking

I somehow find myself in a small but pleasant room in a strange white house on a tiny green hill surrounded by a plethora of trees encircled by mountains in the middle of nowhere.

Hello Marlboro.

It is quite disorienting to be back on campus. I keep wondering how the time went by so quickly, and what the heck I'm doing here already (RA training, primarily).

Each day I get a little more used to my beautiful, bizarre surroundings. Today I baked three loaves of bread and went running. That is the most functional I have been thus far.

I can't exactly describe how I've felt this week. Just odd. Unsure of where the time went. Floating around the paths of campus like I've stepped through a looking glass. Definitely socially awkward.

So, I do not have much to report on the Plan front. I ran into one of my advisers and spoke to him briefly - it went well. I haven't picked up a book since I've been here - 10 hours of training every day is pretty tiring. I have a goal tomorrow to take out a book from the library - Hamlet in Purgatory by Stephen Greenblatt.

Mostly though, I've been freaking out about everything and watching In the Loop on Netflix.
