This campus is gorgeous. That's seriously all there is to say. The dorm I'm staying in is a historical landmark and this campus connects the right amount of modern and antique. For example, today I sat in on an Introduction to Humanities class and they had speakers, a electronically controlled projector screen and a projector, but they still had blackboards at the end of the room. No whiteboards...but something about the sound of someone writing on a chalkboard makes me utterly content. The class was incredible, running on three hours of sleep I could barely grasp what he was talking about, but it was great. There were 15 students in the class, all sitting around a big table actually having a discussion. Apparently that's how many of the classes are here at UChicago.
Everywhere I walk I'm struck by how pretty it is here, pictures don't do it justice. It was beautiful today, sunny and about 45 degrees. The people here seem really nice too. The dorm I'm staying in is kind of the "nerdy" dorm, but they are all incredibly nice. The girl who I am staying with is like the nicest person ever so that's pretty chill. I got to meet a guy who is involved in and told me about the campus Christian clubs and he seemed really chill. When I first got here, I swear there were just hot hipster guys everywhere, but as the day wore on they seemed to disappear. I really like this school. I don't know if I can imagine myself in this particular dorm, but I can see myself at this particular school.
I went to an open mic night and it was super great too. So much talent at this school. I don't know if this is for sure where God is calling me, but I know I could grow a lot here. Off to Indiana tomorrow, let's keep that adventure going.
