Netherlands
sky
My freshman year is over. Looking back on it, it seems that
the whole year lasted just for a month. Time flies when you're having fun. It's
been a year with a lot of new experiences and friends. It had its ups and
downs, but in general it was an awesome year. Being back home makes the whole
year seem unreal somehow. I just looked at Centre's website and although I've
seen everything in real life, all the photos look like they're from a different
world.
It's good to be back home for a while. It's always nice to
see family and friends. However, I already miss Centre. I miss the fact that
there's always someone in the Campus Center who wants to do something fun. I
miss late night tennis and Taco Bell runs. I miss crazy Saturday nights. I miss
reading the New York Times at
breakfast. I miss the Kentucky sky. I sometimes even miss the stress that
Centre's schoolwork can create. But I'll probably miss all my American friends
the most.
For the next three months I'll be working full-time. On the
weekends, I'll hang out with my friends here in the Netherlands. I'll be
cycling, looking up at a gray sky and realizing that I'm back in Europe,
because that's one thing that's always hard to get used to—a different
sky. Under this different sky, I'll prepare myself for the coming year full of
awesomeness. Already, I can't wait to start my second year at Centre College.
