monday.

i woke up at seven and even though i didnt have to get up until eight thirty i couldnt fall back asleep. lame. today was my first day of classes and i was a little nervous. leaving my stairwell i found a girl that had the same class as me and we walked there together. when i got there i found a few other people i knew so it wasnt so bad. thats the joy of going to a small school. my first class was early christian literature. my teacher is this funny little korean guy who seems very friendly. the class seems like it could be hard. lots of reading. the whole curriculum pretty much revolves around reading the new testament and keeping a journal about it, followed up by in class discussions. after that i went back to the apartment for a break and then went to lunch with my roommate. the next class i went to on my own but found one girl i knew in it from my stairwell too. the class is oral communication and it has a lot of upper classmen in it. during this class period we didnt go over mcuh but we all got the chance to stand up and speak in front of the class by playing the game two truths and a lie (which the teacher called "false" lying is bad of course). that class got out a little early so i took the time to sit on a bench by myself in the sun and called my family. my roommate kaylan met up with me cause we had the next class together. it was our freshman integration class which was great. today we just did an activity with blindfolds and leading each other and stuff along those lines. it was a great trust building and getting to know each other class session.

after classes got out i went to the library to make copies of a book i needed only to find out i had no idea how to work a huge copy machine. i called my mom asking her why she hadnt taught me this important skill before leaving for school. i finally figured it out but it took forever and it didnt even give me my change back.

i came back to the apartment tired from my long day. i checked my school email where there was an urgent one from one of my advisors telling me that i needed to switch out of my freshman integration class asap because the one i was in is for people who are living in two of the learning communities. stressed out and tired i switched back into my original one god moving around the world. tonight has been exhausting and i am even more homesick. we finally got a new couch cover though so we are able to sit on it instead of the nasty coushins thanks goodness.
