Hollins University

It has been roughly 2weeks since I've been at Hollins University. It's surrounded by nature and this place is filled with women ready to work for their dreams.
The 1st 2 pics are from a ceremony called, "the first step" here. There is an area called "the front quad", and only seniors are allowed to walk there. On the opening day of school, all seniors dresses in their decorated graduation gown and line up around the grass area of "front quad". They count to three and take their first step together. Then they open up all the bottle of champagne and party all night long.
The bottom pics are from white water rafting and the surprise birthday party we did for one of the girls on our hall. During the rafting trip, there was this place called "jump rock" and those who wanted to could jump off a 15ft.-high rock into the river. Suzan and I ran off it together. I was planning falling into the water from my feet, but, instead, I fell from my but. It took a couple days till the pain on my but and lower-back went away... lol
Everyone on my hall seems nice & a lot of fun!! I don't think there is anything to worry about my dorm life :)
Well, that's it for today. I have a lot of work to do and I'm still trying to get used to a lot of things, but I'm enjoying my busy and full load schedule everyday!
love, Naomi
