Where has the time gone?

It feels like I just started school yesterday and now September is halfway over. Lots been going on lately.

Monday was the first Intramural soccer game. We won 7-0, and I scored twice. We were playing against the international team and they are technically a B team while we are an A team. Tuesday night we had another game, which we lost 2-0. They were pretty good. And I've already got a nice big bruise on my leg. Soccer wouldn't be complete without that, ha! Tonight we have another game. I hope we do better tonight. Go Mortano!

Classes are creeping by. My exercise science classes are going well, which is awesome. I'm really enjoy them. Chemistry is still kickin' my butt, but I hope it gets better. Yesterday was the first exam. I feel okay about it. Sociology is pretty easy at the moment, just a lot of work with keeping up a journal.

Gotta go eat lunch before class!

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 :)
