I haven't done one of these for a long while...I think its about time now that I've lived here for a month or so.

Things I love about CIU/SC:

1) My 4 housemates and other wonderful friends.
2) Sliding down the hardwood floors of our house in slippers/socks with Amy.
3) Getting the best compliment I have ever had from a prof...or just about anyone.
4) Going to Africa this summer with a team of like-hearted individuals.
5) Ya'all, and other long drawn out words...in short, the great southern accents! :)
6) The scent of pine outside.
7) Knowing I always have someone to sit with at lunch/dinner and chapel.
8) Chik-fil-a!!!
9) Only a four hour time difference from Senegal and one from Iowa!!
10) Brilliant profs who are very real and care about us as people.

Things I don't so much love about CIU/SC:

1) FIRE ANTS!
2) The fact that it is officially fall and it is still warm enough to wear shorts/tshirts.
3) 8am classes (as Amy says, "They are of the devil.") :)
4) Pine needles...everywhere...seriously...its out of control!!! They are like a type of precipitation here!!
5) All the creepy crawlies that manage to find their way into MY room!!!
