School Days

I started school a week ago today. School is going well. Chemistry is going to take a lot out of me, as well as sociology. I'll be fine, I just have to study hard and put forth all the effort I can. My exercise science classes all seem to go together. At the moment, we seem to be talking about the same things, which is fine by me. It means I can learn it three times and maybe it will sink in better.

My roommate finally got here! Her name is Yvonne. Sunday afternoon, she got here. She had to fly 30 hours, from Uganda to Amsterdam to Memphis to Evansville. I can't even imagine being on a plane that long. Her sleep schedule is all messed up at the moment, but she's slowly getting used to it. She is technically a freshman, she started UE in January, but she's the same age as I am. It's something about the way school works in Uganda. She's really nice, very tall and very skinny, haha. We've been getting to know each other over the past few days. I think this will be a good year with her as my roommate. :)

Last night I went to Bible Study through SCF. We are reading the entire Bible through the school year. It's about 4-5 chapters a day and switching between Old and New Testament. We just started on Monday, so I've only read Genesis 1-10 thus far. Last night was our initial meeting, just a meet & greet, get to know everyone in the group. We'll be meeting every Tuesday at 9pm. I really enjoy being with the people in the group. Its going to be a fun semester with all of them!!!

Well, I need to be studying chemistry and sociology :)

day #2

Second day of classes out of the way! Judging from the time spent in classes thus far, it should be a fairly good semester. I have three exercise science classes, including Nutrition for Health & Performance, Physiology of Exercise and Concept of Human Performance. I'm also taking Chemistry and Sociology. Chemistry and Sociology will be my hardest classes and will take the most effort on my part. I'm really looking forward to this semester. It should be really good.

Still no roommate, but she could still be coming. My RA Christin thinks its possible that she could just be coming later. I hope so. I get lonely in this room all by my lonesome. I'm getting more used to my bed being so high up, but still not my favorite part of the room. If the roomie never shows, I'll just lower her bed and sleep there. I'm getting used to the rest of them, though I'm still missing all the storage we had last year.

Tomorrow is the first SCF of the year. I'm pretty excited! I need to start hanging out with my christian friends more. We had a get together Tuesday evening, ice cream at the SCF house. It was fun, getting to see everyone.

Also tomorrow, Angela moves into her apartment over at USI. I'm pretty darn excited about it. I love that she's just across town, even though I still don't see her all that much. I wish Jackie would've come to USI instead of John A. Logan, but she's loving it over that. So I'm happy for her.

Well, I should probably be doing some work!

new schoool year

Of course, I've waited entirely too long to blog.

Yesterday, I moved into my dorm. My dorm was remodeled over the summer, so it's all different than last year. We have new furniture, new bathrooms, and less storage. I bunked my bed, so I could put my desk and fridge under it. It's like my own little cave. I'm not sure I like my bed being so high, but it's going to have to work for now. It took a lot of effort from my mom, dad, grandma and grandpa to get everything all moved around. It's going to take a little while to get used to, but I'm working on it. My roommate hasn't moved in yet. Her name is Yvonne and she's from Uganda. I'm a little nervous, but I think it should work out fairly well. I'll just have to see after she moves in, which will probably be tomorrow sometime. Classes start on Wednesday, and I picked up my books today. I think I'm ready for classes to start. I really enjoy this time of doing nothing and seeing my friends, whom I haven't seen all summer long. We've been catching up and having a good time.

Until next time :)
