First Day of College Classes
--FOR THE RECORD I HAD THIS TYPED UP LAST NIGHT BUT MY INTERNET WENT OUT BEFORE I COULD POST IT.--
No interesting title.
I'm TIRED. It's crazy just how tired I am...
Anyways I had class starting at 8. It was one of my three major classes. My first impression of the teacher was that he was a MAJOR GOOBER! But after I talked to him a little bit I started to think that he was pretty cool. Professor West seems to be pretty cool and he's going to be teaching me about Authoring Software. Something I've NEVER dealt with!
My second class was religion class at 9. I wasn't really that thrilled about taking this class because I've already taken one religion related class at the local community college and it SUCKED! I walked into and sat down in the wrong class room because I looked at the wrong section of my schedule. After I realized that I got to my real class and it was packed. I found a seat and waited. The teacher showed up and she was WEIRD. I'm not sure what her religious background was... But oh well... Hopefully I can just make it through the class.
My third and final class before lunch was my favorite of the day. I got to the class about 10 minutes early yet the teacher was already instructing so I figured I was in the wrong room again. It was another of my major classes so I was looking forward to it. I got back out in the hallway and checked my schedule to find that I was at the right room. Apparently the professor decided that she wanted to start early. So I find a seat once again and then I start actually paying attention to the teacher. It's at this point that she says, "I'm going to be learning just as much as you guys and FROM you guys as you're going to be learning from me!" I now realize that this professor is CHINESE and has an accent so thick you almost can't even understand her! She goes on to pronounce her name for us, BUT she loves the English word 'grace' so she prefers us to call her Grace! I basically laughed through the entire class. By the time the class was over I had decided I was definitely going to enjoy this class...
Next Josie, Mark and I went to Thompson hall to eat lunch. We had pizza, french fries and vitamin water! It was good in my opinion, but I don't know if I really want to eat there every Monday, Wednesday, Friday for lunch...
After lunch Jos, Mark and I all had the same Concepts of Leisure class. I know! It sounds like a blow-off class. However, I think it's going to prove to be a lot harder than it sounds. Anyways I almost fell asleep--it was BORING! And it didn't help that I have the class right after lunch.
After our CoL class, I headed to my final class of the day: History. I wasn't really looking forward to the class, and it didn't help when I arrived to find around 40 students in the class... I HATE big classes. Anyways the instructor went over the syllabus and then he wanted each and every student to introduce themselves... We barely got done in time to leave.
And that was it! My first day of classes was interesting to say the least... I think I enjoyed it overall though!

Work Day
Hey!
Today was a work day at the Campus House. I equate it to spring cleaning or something like that...
Basically there was a list of all these small cleaning and maintenance jobs that needed to be done so anyone that didn't have any other obligations was supposed to come down and help.
Mark and I sandbagged all morning and laid the sandbags around the perimeter of the sand volleyball court. That was the hardest job. Then we changed some filters, installed a wireless router, and swept the floor of this one room... Random jobs, but necessary all the same.
On another note I'm REALLY tired. I'm going to bed as soon as I'm done typing this... We have a big day tomorrow with our first church service and then there's a picnic, a meeting with all freshman commuters, and then a cook out! So we'll be busy tomorrow...
On ANOTHER note (that's slightly related to the last one when I mentioned church):
I have not been doing very well keeping up with my prayer life and staying in the Word.
I'm trying to get into a routine though... So I don't know... Anyways I'm tired. TTYL

Excuses, Excuses...
I'm back!
I do apologize for not blogging in almost a MONTH!
I have so many things I can call up and excuse myself, but honestly:
I've just been BUSY.
As may remember from a previous blog, I went to a church camp the first full week of August. Well on Wednesday night we had BBQ Chicken for supper. To make a long story short, I got food poisoning from it, which turned into a bacterial infection in my intestines. It was PAINFUL!
I was bedridden for almost a week and then I finally, slowly became more active...
Now I'm exiting the recovery stage and finally getting back to normal.
On Thursday I finally moved out of my parents' house and into the Campus Students for Christ. Our apartment was GROSS! It was so bad... The carpet was so stained and smelly, and the walls were marked up. So we decided to paint them! And then my roommate's (Mark Vonholt's) parents said they had extra carpet at home and so they came back on Friday and laid new carpet in the living room! Now our apartment is pretty nice. We have a nice setup in our bedroom too. I'll post pictures later. Tomorrow we have a work day at the Campus House. I'm not gonna lie... I'm kind of dreading that. Then later in the day we have a bunch of Freshman activities... Who knows how all that stuff is gonna go...
But all in all everything is going GREAT! I love the RA, Kirsten. She's SO funny! And her roommate Dee is pretty cool herself! So I'm not quiet sure how everything is going to end up, but I'm excited and ready for it! I'm hoping to keep an open mind and a positive attitude in everything.
Here's to hoping everyone else is doing good! Let me know how you all are via comments!
God Bless!
