First Impressions are Everything

Today was the first day of school and I am overwhelmed.. to say the LEAST. This is the most amazing place I have ever seen in my life. The city, the people, the life, the history that creeps out of every unturned stone from the buildings dating back to the 1300's baffles me. The homework is bogging me down a bit, but just getting outside (despite the obnoxious cold weather) and seeing the sites reminds me of blessed I am to have such an amazing opportunity.
