so i dont know if i've said this before, but i absolutely get such a kick out of studying things with all of these international students. i was just looking around in today's folklore class at everyone's faces and it was just so great. it's funny because with a lot of them you can really tell where they're from. either from finland or germany or france or somewhere else. just being in the same location studying the same material or at least attending the same activity just gives me such joy.

i'm really glad to be here.
