day #?

I kind of lost track of how many days I've been in school. Its been quite a while, yet hardly at all at the same time.

School's going great. I'm understanding most everything in all of my classes. Chemistry lab went better today than last week. Chemistry is getting better, I seem to be understanding a whole lot better than I did at the beginning. It's starting to look more like the chemistry I learned in high school. All of my exercise science classes are going well, letting me know that I've chosen the right field.

My roommate is great. She's really sweet and very polite. She's always so interested in my life and learning more about US culture. Likewise, I am very interested in how things work in Uganda. She is always more than happy to talk about it. Surprisingly, she likes many things American. She loves the TV show, One Tree Hill, haha. We spend lots of time just talking, but we also spend time just chilling, watching television.

Friday night, I went home for the first time since I had moved in. I left after SCF, which was about 8:30 pm-ish. Saturday was Liberty Fest at LCC. I spent the majority of my day glazing donuts. I was a sticky mess before the end of the day. But it was a good time, serving the people. Saturday night, I went to the Ellis' and watched a movie with them and Angela. It was a fun time hanging out since I hadn't spent time with them at all recently. I was going to come back to Evansville Saturday night, but my parents conned me into staying. So I stayed the night and went to church the next morning at LCC. I left around 1 to get back to Evansville because I had school Monday. Silly private college doesn't let out for Labor Day. Apparently, kids used to stay locked up in their rooms until Labor Day and then went home for the weekend and never came back. And then the University lost all that money. This is just rumor I've heard around campus.

Intramural soccer starts this week! I'm so excited!!! I just hope I don't hurt myself this year, I'll keep my fingers crossed, haha. We're playing in the A league this year, so it should be good. Our first game is tomorrow night. It's going to be so much fun!!

Tonight is Bible Study. I'm really looking forward to it. We've been reading through Genesis this week and we've started Psalms. I love reading the Bible and discovering things I hadn't noticed before. God is so awesome that way. He reveals Himself in new ways all the time. :)

Must study before 10 Things I Hate About You and soccer meeting and Bible study. Ahhhhh, where did all the time go?

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!
