I have officially assimilated and am saying “y’all!” Ok, maybe not, but I am back in Aiken and in many ways it feels like I never left. My friends and I picked up exactly where we left off (always laughing and never being able to finish a sentence because of it). It is also natural to be walking around campus again.
There are some changes though. First, Margot and I have a different room then we did last year.

PAUSE!
If you don’t know who Margot is, it’s ok, because I am going to tell you. Margot (who will also be referred to as Gu, Gugsters, Dr. Professor Gu Gu Si and other names of this nature) is one of my best friends. She is from France, is on the tennis team, and is also my roommate! You will get to know Gu VERY well by the end of this blog.
CONTINUING!
Gu and I are getting used to our new room (it’s smaller than our room last year), but we’re managing. The biggest change from last year is that two of our best friends didn’t come back since they were only on a one year exchange. It is safe to say that we really miss our other Frenchies!

| What our Wal-Mart adventures look like |
Since coming back to campus I have been really busy. Taking an extra week off after holidays is the thing for international students to do, but it definitely puts you behind. I have been frantically unpacking, trying to catch up on work, and play tennis! Gu and I have been back for three days and still need to go to Wal-Mart (I am sad to say that this empire will eat most of my money this year).
With being so busy I have only been able to play tennis twice (yes I am suffering from withdrawal). Our first official practice will be later today and of course I am excited. We have three new additions and I want to see where I fit in with the team. For those of you who don’t know much about Division II tennis there are six spots on the roster when season starts in January. We have eight players which means that not everyone will play. Of course I'm hoping for a spot in the top 6 because then I’ll get to play all the time!
The biggest change is not getting to see everyone at Simcoe Tennis all the time. I really miss all of you guys! Please comment on the blog and let me know how you’re doing because I really want to know!
Tata for now!
