Finals week

 The time has come for 3rd exams and finals. Due to the high heat and UV radiation here I have not been outside much. I have been staying in focusing on my school work. I am looking forward to the small break we get in between semesters. My work for the class has been going really well. Since the class is online I have messed up my sleep schedule a little due to the lack of structure of physically going to class and work. I'm not to worried about it though it has put a bit of a strain on going out. On that note I decided to save my adventures for the break and focus on school for the time being. It has been sunny everyday which helps with the motivation to finish strong with this course!

The Clock Tower

 In this beautiful court yard at the school there is a clock tower. I was surprised to find that it had a story. The story is that if you walk under the clock then you will add a year to your schooling. I was told that this superstition goes back many years and even to this day people do not walk under it. There are several shady spots are that great to hang a hammock up and just relax on campus. 

 

Arrived!

 The travel too Sam Houston State University was long but fun. My sister came with me and we took a little detour to New Orleans, we spent the day there resting and walking around. All the older buildings are very pretty and we got some trinkets to bring back. When we first came into Texas we were driving through the rural parts which really reminded me of the drive to my grandmothers house in the rural parts of SC. Huntsville is such a cute small town. The buildings are a little older but they look a lot like the buildings in West Columbia. All in all I got a very similar feeling to Columbia, so I don't think I will have a hard time feeling at home. The campus here compared to UofSC's campus, it is a lot smaller and easier to walk around. Like UofSC's campus you can walk to downtown from campus, where they have several cafés and restaurants.
