College Life

Wow, I have not written in forever. I have no homeworking today so I suppose I shall do some blogging. I wanted to do a long post after Russia but I never did so I suppose I'll do one about college.

It has been about a month and a half since I pulled out of the driveway with my mother. The first week was orientation. It was a very filled week. We got to go out to a movie, we got to go on a cruise by Pittsburgh, we had a scavenger hunt to get to know our way around the campus and other things. It was good to have a concentrated group where I could really get to know other students.

I have now had 5 weeks of classes. I have an Old Testament class, Humanities (like philosphy about what it means to be human), Earth and Space Science, Human Geography, and Physical Fitness (8 am, grrr).

We're talking about Death now in Humanities. Today was the last day of it though. Next week will be Marriage, yay!

I'm not gonna lie, I've had a lot of crying phone calls to home. I thought the move from home would be much easier than it would. The part that made it hardest was that I was only at my actual house 3 days before I left for college. I was also kinda expecting making friends to be instant. Well, it wasn't. It has really made me fully rely on God and trust him with everything.

I just realized today that today is the first day that I truly feel at ease here. I am done with my killer science test, I got an awesome grade on my Bible test and I really feel at home. I'm getting a network of friends now and I feel like I can be myself around them. I don't have to be normal. I can be weird and quote movies and burst out into song like I like to. It's so awesome to go to a Christian school and have Godly friends. I have friends that make Christ the center of their lives and you can tell by how they act.

I love my roommates and hanging out with them. I love Joanna's little voice and Amy's big laugh and when she says "I'm kidding" and I love Lindsay's sweet personality and how Godly she is.
This weekend I'm gonna watch "Horton Hears a Who" with Lisa, and go swing dancing. Tomorrow I'm going to clean the big G on the hill and then watch Tin Man with Emily. I'll go to chapel on Sunday with Anna and Sarah. In the evening I'll go to College Hill RP with Lindsay and Joanna and Titus's house afterwards.

I was talking with Lisa today about what I wanna do after college. It makes me so excited to think that God has a huge and wonderful plan for my life. I am happiest when I serve him and I want to serve him with all of my heart and all of my being. I don't know what exactly he has in store for me but I can't wait!
