Changes at the Castle:

This room was entirely transformed. 

Before: Hotspur Restaurant

 After: the new Courtyard Cafe

Our new area for Lunch: the Guest Hall

This hall hasn't changed since we have been here, but it was recently redone. 

Its beautiful and nice and open. I love the old-fashioned music they play, great hits from Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. It really adds to the atmosphere! Recently, I was sorta bashing the new dining style, but we are getting used to things. Its really growing on me now! Lately, I have been working on completing all of my final projects. They are all going very well. I am glad that I got a lot of work done during the break, because I am not stressed or worried, but rather enjoying the final weeks of the semester. Actually, I don't want the end to come. Living at the castle is so easy to get used to and I've fallen in love with the way of life. The incredible views, excellent food at the restaurant, and close knit community of students and faculty. I really wouldn't mind spending another couple semesters here. I only wish it would actually be done. I know a part of my heart will always long to be here. Everything is so bittersweet at the moment.
