NJ and back in VA

It seems like for the next few weeks I will be either in VA or in the NY metropolitan area. Last week I was at Seton Hall in NJ, I am now at Virginia Wesleyan College, I will be going to Brooklyn and then to Virginia Commonwealth University and then to NJ for Thanksgiving! Then back to VA to visit James Madison University. Talk about shuttling up and down the East Coast!

I am also on a string of religious colleges. St. Joes, Seton Hall and Virginia Wesleyan. I knew that Seton Hall was gated, but really surprised with how far they took that! Maybe it was because it was Halloween or maybe because it was gang initiation week, even still gates were locked at 11pm on a Friday. I definitely saw some hilarious blasphemous moments at Seton Hall, I'm so going to hell for thinking things like that are funny.

Yesterday was the longest travel day yet, I started at around 1:30pm in Newark, and arrived in Newport News, VA 8ish hours later! (and I'm soo glad that I did not have to change time zones when we switched over from Daylight Savings Time that really would have messed me up) But it was one very productive train ride. I love Amtrak and the fact that they have outlets for every seat : ) I was still playing catch up last week from the previous week when I had 2 visits (Longwood and St. Joe's), so I think that I finally caught up on Sunday on the train, so it was a blessing that I had 8 hours alone with my computer. I'm not sure why I keep having 2 visits in one week, those weeks it is always hard to tell what day it actually is because I usually arrive on Sunday but on those visits I travel Sunday and Wednesday.

Seton Hall was nice. It was great to be in north Jersey and get a little taste of home. I had visited the campus before so it was also nice to have some sort of sense of direction while I was there. Fun fact about Seton Hall, it seems that every single campus organizations get matching jackets. On most campuses I see Greeks with half zip hooded track jackets with names on the front and letters on the back. But at Seton Hall the Residents association had them and more too that I didnt know the abbrev's for.

At Virginia Wesleyan the women asked me how many visits I have been on... counting VWC 11! That doesn't even seem right! I cant believe that the semester is almost over and that the holidays are almost here. I am looking forward to being able to wear jeans more than 2 days in a row : ) and living in sweatshirts. I didnt think that I would miss dressing like a bummy college student, but I miss sweatshirts more than I miss my bed at home. Too bad I cant fit any in my suitcase either!
