Going to sleep tonight marks the fifth night that I will have spent at the University of Iowa.
In four and half days, so many people and experiences have been flying around me from all different directions, and the craziest part is that the term hasn't even started yet.
As I told an elder member of the sousaphone (or "sousie" as everyone calls us at Iowa) section today, I come from a town of 1300 people. A campus with 30,000 students in the middle of the buzzing Iowa City is a culture shock to me. An even greater culture shock is being caught up in the midst of activities that you don't want to be a part of, but with people that you'd really like to get to know.
Oh, and my shoulder is pretty sore. I can blame my sousaphone for that...
I guess this blog post doesn't really have a purpose behind it other than to reflect upon my brewing thoughts. So much has changed in such a short amount of time that it kind of scares me to think about what might change in two weeks!
But I am excited. Because if there's anything I've learned this week, it's to expect the unexpected.
