Back in 237

After an uneventful but tiring flight, I am finally back in Des Moines. The day we arrived, Mother Nature was kind to us and it was a mild -7 degrees. Today will hover around -12 degrees or so which isn't really bad until the wind blows. It felt weird to be back. Surrounded by so many familar faces and yet, I felt out of touch. I felt that way when I got back home to Malaysia. It somehow feels that I don't really belong anywhere...neither here nor there.

I managed to attend all my classes which is good because I hate having to e-mail my professors and explain to them. So far so good. 4 out of 5 of my classes are taught by professors that I already know so I know what to expect from them. This semester is going to be another interesting one, classwise I mean. No more drama outside of the classroom please!

My new hairstyle has been well received so far and I'm going to take it as a good thing. :) Change is always good. I am looking forward to a brand new year...a fresh start.
