well, I'm back in Evansville for my senior year of college. I can't believe I'm already in my last year of college. it feels like I just started my first year yesterday.
my summer in Ukraine went by super quick, but I loved every minute of it and I can't wait to go back. God was doing some awesome things in my life. if you didn't get a chance to read about it over the summer, you can read about my time here: Evan's Ukrainian Summer.
after I got back and was debriefed in Indianapolis, I spent a week in Florida with my parents. it was the perfect way to get over my jetlag and sleep as much as I wanted. it was just what I needed. as usual, we stayed in Seagrove Beach, near Panama City. we went to eat in PCB one night and had to visit the WalMart once to get dad new glasses, because the Gulf stole his. it wouldn't be a family vacation to the beach, if he didn't. it rained a lot, but we still got good tans and got to spend time together. I spent a lot of the time talking about Ukraine, I'm sure my parents were tired of me at the end of the week.
I got back to my beautiful home of Illinois, and I was able to see my wonderful church family at Little Chapel Church. I felt like such a celebrity, I had missed everyone while I was gone. it was so good to see everyone and get to share stories from the summer.
I was barely home before I had to pack up and move back to school. I moved back to Evansville on Friday August 19, so that I could be in town to help freshmen move-in on that Saturday. it was a lot of fun helping wide-eyed, scared freshmen. I actually met a lot of people from Illinois, which was pretty cool. that night we had "fall training" for SCF [student christian fellowship]. just to get ready for the semester ahead and be praying for our campus. it went really well. between then and classes starting on Wednesday, we were just hanging around on campus, meeting people, playing frisbee, hanging out, praying, reading the Word. it was a great couple of days.
classes started on Wednesday. I have 3 classes everyday but Friday, when I only have 2. I'm taking Typography, Senior Seminar, Portfolio Preparation, Strategic Public Relations, Basic Web Production, and Oil Painting. 18 credit hours, which is a full load. and I'm going to try to get a job. so this should be a very full semester, but fun at the same time.
