Time goes so fast, I really can’t believe my freshman year is over! Well, the good news is that there’s a long summer ahead before the school year starts over again.
This summer I’m working in the Buckman center (study abroad). I really enjoy my work! To be perfectly honest, I have learned a lot about Rhodes study abroad programs, Which I knew nothing about before I start working there. now I can say I am an expert on that, haha! OK, I bet you want to know more about my summer than just working!
Let’s start with the biggest thing: Rhodes has been out of power for two days because of the storm! Well, I have never realized how important electricity had meant to us until we lost it. No light at night, No Internet, No Microwave for food and the worst is that we need to worry about the food in the fridge (without the frozen air they will go bad quickly). Without electricity,I and my roommate Brittney just sat on the beds chatting and then both falling asleep fast in the dark. One thing I learned when out of power is that saving your sleep until night or you will be very painful stay awake in the hot dark room.
Other than out of electricity, another thing bothers me is my eyes. Yesterday morning, my eyes hurt so bad. I even couldn’t open my eyes! Tears all over my eyes and I even couldn’t stop them. I went to the doctor’s office and it turned out my eyes have medical issues (but they’re not serious, If i didn’t go to the doctor in time, I might lose my sight). the good news is that my eyes are much better now with the eye drops the doctor gave me.
Don’t get a wrong sense that my summer is full of terrible things. I actually had a lot of fun during the summer! Some nice barbecue and pool parties, hanging out with friends and got a new pair of sunglasses!
Time does go fast .I still remember those days before you went to RHODES.Now,reading your blog,sharing your joy,your progress,I can do nothing but give you my best wishes.
