9:05 a.m. Spanish Class
The class was normal, nothing special about it. We learned about direction, such as buildings in relation to other buildings.
10:30 a.m.
Had a nice cup of coffee with my friend Ryan who is in my Spanish class. He loves theater like I do. We had at least a 10 minute conversation on Something Rotten and I could not complain.
11:15 a.m. Math Class
Again, another dry class. I only have to take Algebra and State to fulfill my math requirements. Since I took Calculus last year, this class is a breeze.
12:30 p.m. Library
I went to the Library to get some work done. I sat next to my friend Sam who is in my math class. She is so nice. I'm very glad that I had met her.
2:00 p.m
I went back to my dorm to watch a documentary that was assigned for homework by my English professor. The documentary was called Into Eternity. If you want to know how I felt about the documentary, needless to say, I fell asleep three times.
6:00 p.m
I suddenly became sick so my friends brought me soup which was super nice. We then went out to dinner.
8:00 p.m.
I went to a Harry Potter Fan Club meeting. I don't think I will join the club since it is a time commitment,
9:00 p.m.
I went to a Hershey Kisses for the Kids meeting. I loved this club and I look forward to being part of it in the future.
11:00 p.m.
I finally made it back to my dorm and fell asleep.

Happy Valley vs. Northern Virginia
Happy Valley and NoVA are two different worlds.
My name is Chelsea West and I am currently a freshman at Penn State studying Telecommunications. I'm from the Northern Virginia area, specifically Centreville in Fairfax County.
Coming to UP was a very big change from Northern Virginia. Honestly, State College is in the middle of nowhere whereas the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia) is very suburban. There are houses everywhere, malls are just around the corner, and DC is just a metro ride away. In State College, the football stadium is a 45 minute walk, Wall-mart is a lightyear away, and the only mall houses about 13 stores.
Despite all of their differences, both places feel like home. Although I've only been at PSU for a little over a week, I have already adjusted living here. I have a morning routine, I know my class schedule, and I have a wonderful group of friends.
Whether I am in Happy Valley or in NoVA, I will always be home.
