Hi guys!
So, here are the courses that I took.
LAN.10.1 - Astronomy, Schnader North 1st floor, Jenn
LAN.11.1 - Fundamentals of Computer Science, North Ben 2nd floor, Erin
The two years before that I did French immersion at CTY, which was quite fun. Although, sadly, it basically had no traditions not even canon songs, so I really didn't understand CTY until my one more year when I first came to Lancaster. My eyes were opened unto the infinite realm of cty-awesomeness, but I was still really shy because I had no idea what was going on half the time. This past year, my no more year, I was able to fully indulge in all the awesome things that go on, and so I did. I can confidently say that it was my favorite year at CTY. I'm sad that CTY is over for me, and I feel like a two-hit wonder in a way. It's hard accepting that I'm not going to come back next year.
Having just finished my no more year, I keep thinking about whether I have any regrets or not. I don't want to have any regrets, but I feel like I sort of do. I wish that I had come to Lancaster sooner, I wish that I had jumped right in my one more year, and I wish I had taken more pictures. Alas, there's no real way to have prevented any of those, but it still makes me sad. I wasn't very upset at the end of my first two years at French camp because I didn't feel like I made more than a few close friends. By the end of my one more year, however, I was so sad to leave because even though I didn't make tons of friends (though the ones I did were awesome), the sense of community was amazing. No matter where I went, I felt like Mother Lancaster was always following me.
Then, at the beginning of my no more year, I felt like a different, more mature person just because of the way my sophomore year played out what with constantly doing homework and being sleep-deprived etc. My roommate Jen was super awesome and far more outgoing than I, which is probably the only reason why I didn't have a repeat of my one more year. She would happily prance into the center of a group of people and introduce herself. A combination of being with her, and the fact that I happened to stumble upon some friends myself, I actually felt at home sitting in the alcove talking about nerdy things and Metroid Highschool.
But in the words of the awesome RA Bill, "It's only special because it ends." :)
