Today was the first day of classes at Yale, and I decided it was time to finally start getting back into the blogging spirit. What better way to start than a proclamation of my love for this new place?
I don’t know that I can sufficiently articulate my supreme delight and excitement for the next four years here at Yale. Based on the last 10 days this place and these people are proving to be amazing and awesome in every respect possible. Aside from the fact that I have the smallest suite at Yale, sharing my small room with someone 6′ 9″ (that is not hyperbole) , everything is better than I ever imagined.
The upside of the ultra-cramped room is of course that I am forced out of the room to get out and do things, socialize, study in other places, etc. Excepting those times, like right now, when I’m blogging from my room…
The list of reasons why Yale is so excellent would be obscenely long, as everywhere I look I find new reasons to be in love with this place. The classes today? Superb. I liked most of my professors that I was shopping today and was even impressed with the ones that I wasn’t so fond of (personality differences?). All the courses looked interesting, though the French that I was shopping turned out to be too easy, but my very cool professor there recommended me some other very neat courses to take which I will shop post haste.
I have some more fantastic courses to look at tomorrow, too. The only problem where classes are concerned seems to be a lack of time to take all the ones that I want.
I will try to make more posts in the coming days about specific interesting / super fun things that are happening / have happened; there are almost too many to keep track. I wish Yale had a Wesleying equivalent; maybe I will have to think up a clever name and start one. In the meantime, my adventures continue!

1That’s outstanding that you’re having such an awesome time. What classes do you want to take? What classes will you take? Ah, I have so many questions, mostly because I want to go to Yale so badly.

3Question away, Jen. I want to take SO MANY CLASSES! It is a serious problem actually. I will write more about classes as I get further into shopping period–today was only the second day, and thoughts are rather too discombobulated on a lot of it.

Kind words about my blog:

Bob Johnson says “I like [it] because I agree with so much of what he says.” and that “Paying attention what Sam writes will let you focus more closely on students who will actually attend your school.”
Karine Joly says my witty and fresh style “offers a rare glimpse at the mind of our elusive prospective students”
and TargetX calls my blog “good reading” and me “wise-beyond-my-years.”
