Chancellor Green at Princeton was the University's first official library when it opened in 1875.
By Maria Paredes (Gaithersburg, MD)Waking up this morning was like every other morning -- the feeling has not hit me yet.
I sort of know what's waiting for me: PRINCETON, ten days of journalism.
7:50AM hits, 8:00AM kicks in.
Knowing that my train leaves for D.C. in ten minutes, I hurry to catch the 8:10AM train with my bags packed, sitting in my seat, reading the paper.
At that moment I felt independent, a grown-up, if you wish. As the clock ticks I head towards my train -- would I miss it? Did I come too early? Do I really have to finish reading the assigned articles I haven't finished yet on the train ... ? As I get on the train my mind races.
I am actually on my own, actually leaving for Princeton. As I hear Trenton's stop being called, my heart stops. I had arrived in New Jersey and was going to Princeton. I felt it in the pit of my stomach and I'm still nervous as I write this blog post.
It's not a dream, it's reality.
