This weekend was not as eventful as last weekend. I did not go off campus or visit any old SOIs (yes Krista, that was a wonderful visit. Can't wait until you are back on campus!). But having a relaxing weekend was actually quite wonderful. I didn't fully understand how much I liked doing nothing until becoming a college student! Not that there was a lack of activities available, I just NEEDED a break.

Tonight, lots of perspective students are coming in for Beloit's Autumn Visit Days. It seems a bit weird to have something with the word "Autumn" in the title when snow is falling (SNOW!), but this IS Wisconsin. I am looking forward to meeting some of you this evening.

If you didn't come, I suggest visiting the schools you are applying to at some point. I actually only did one or two college visits before I got acceptance letters, but I manged to visit all of my schools eventually. For me, the visits were very important because they allowed me to get a feel for the campus and see if I could picture myself there. Some places I went to were really high up on my list until I visited, and some were lower until I visited.

And to end, a picture from last weekend. It is supposed to be the Chicago skyline, but I took it on the "night" setting of my camera without a tripod, so I shall call it "Chicago on Speed"
