it's been so long since I've written on here. I've been busy doing nothing over break. I had time to hang out with my family and friends, and have time to do absolutely nothing. I even got to go to Florida with my mom and spend time with my grandparents. it was wonderful, minus the holding an alligator part.
I came back to school last thursday night, so I could be in evansville for SCF's 'spring training' on friday & saturday. it was wonderful. we learned about studying the Bible and sharing our testimony and how to share Jesus with unbelievers. I learned a lot, and I had a lot of fun being with some of my favorite people. God really has some awesome things planned for this semester.
classes started yesterday. I have classes from 9am-1pm and then 3-4:15pm. I'm taking an intro to theatre class, its a gen-ed. I might enjoy it, but who knows. it's going to force me to go to the theatre performances, so that'll be fun. I'm also taking a drawing class, which is 2 hours long. I'm pretty excited. my professor is fresh out of grad school, and she seems pretty awesome. I'm also in advertising and promotional strategies. it's my first class, aside from foreign language classes, that my professor's first language isn't english. so I'm a little worried about that, but hopefully it won't be too bad. my final class for mondays is digital photography. I can't wait!!! since I got my nikon d5000 for christmas, I can't wait to use it for this class. we're going to be taking pictures and editing them in photoshop.
today I only had two classes. first is art history, from the renaissance to present day. it seems like a lot of work, but I love art so it'll be fine. my other class is painting. I'm pretty darn excited about it. my best friend Becca is in there with me, even though she's an advanced student. this is her 4th semester taking painting. only my first, but I'll probably be taking it again for the rest of my college career.
today, i had my first official servant family meeting for SCF as president. we planned for focus (our large group gathering) on friday. I can't wait for everything that we have planned for this semester! it's going to be just grand. tonight we are meeting with all the small group leaders to plan our small groups for the semester. I'm going to be leading an all girls group with 3 other wonderful girls. It's going to be great!
today when I got home for lunch, I had a note in the mail from my grandma :) it was super encouraging & I'm so glad I have such an awesome grandma! I'll leave you with the poem she sent me:
Help me to see the tragic plight
Of souls far off in sin;
Help me to love, to pray, and go
To bring the wandering in.
-Harrison
