Living in the City

I don't think I've ever heard so many languages spoken on the street before. I catch some spanish, portuguese, french, chinese, german, everything imaginable. The ethnic diversity is nice. I still haven't really come to terms with where I am yet though. When I walk out of a building and realize I'm surrounded by the red brick and white columns of the ivy league I can't believe I'm a student here. I still feel like a country yokel from little old cow town. It hasn't really sunk in that I belong here. There is a definite difference in some of the people here. The state school people are mostly down to earth, but some of the students from private and ivy league undergrad universities have a certain elitism about them. I hope I don't end up acting that way. Humility hasn't typically been one of my strongsuits but I'll work on it.
