21 days in Indianapolis and I'm finally back in Goshen. Seems like the days flew very fast but the times I had in Indy were amazing.

I went down to Indy on the 7th of this month. Since then I've been making new friends, hanging out, watching tons of movies, getting addicted to football and becoming a fan of the Indianapolis Colts , working out, etc... It was fun!

This Christmas was no ordinary one. It was different than the rest because it was the first time I spent it away from my home and family. I missed celebrating Christmas at home but celebrating it here in the United States was quite an experience. It was pretty warm down in Indianapolis so it wasn't a total white Christmas, but overall it was great.

Well another year has come and gone so let us kiss 2007 good bye. I wish you all a joyous new year!

Cheers!!!

So there we go, seeing snow fall down from the white skies here at Goshen, taking us to the typical winter in Northern Indiana. Man, it's going to be so much fun.

We have been having a great time in the snow, with lots of people engaging themselves in snow fights and some building snowmen. The last couple of nights have been so sweet. Plenty of snow fighting followed by plenty of clothing to be dried after going back to our dorms rooms,Lol.

I have to say, we've had several accidents too. I saw a friend of mine driving and bumping into another car from behind since the roads were very slippery early this week and then last night another friend of mine getting a huge snow ball in his face and that was wicked! haha

Anyways, exams are also over and it's sad to see my fist semester come to an end. One by one the kids are starting to go home for Christmas. I'll be heading down to Indianapolis for a week or two with a very close buddy of mine and then be back in Goshen.

Even though we are on break for only a month, I'll miss school, all my friends and the amazing times we are having here at Goshen.

I'm Chanuk, a first-year student here at Goshen College, hoping to major in Communications.

I come from Sri Lanka. For those you who haven't heard of it (sad, I should say ;p) , it is the little island below India, a.k.a "Pearl of the Indian Ocean." It's been almost 4 months since I've been here and trust me Goshen has given me a superb first impression about American College education.

I'm living on Miller 2 (the most happening floor I should add), and I'm rooming with Sashivarnan (ok ok, just call him Sashi!). He is also from Sri Lanka and I've been knowing him for around 7 years and we both play for the Goshen mens tennis team. Life here is amazing, every one is very friendly and my dorm mates are like my brothers (from different mothers of course) and even the entire campus as a whole. Everybody is there for you with big smiles and widely opened arms to help your life go in a sweetly fashion.

I'm glad that I came to Goshen College. It's one place you want to be!
