Classes.

Well I've just finished my second full day of classes. For the most part, they all seem to be bearable as far as homework goes. Tuesday I have 4 classes: New Student Orientation (10-11), Discussion Group (11-12), 2D design (1-3), and Fitness for Life (3-4). So Tuesday's will be a pretty busy day for me! The Orientation Class and Discussion Group seems like a simple A, as long as I do my work I should be set. As far as 2D design goes that also seems like it will be a fun, enjoyable class. The professor is really nice and the people in my class are really cool. After that I have Fit for Life, pretty much a PE and high school Heath Ed class mixed together. Again, this is a class where it should be an easy A (our prof even told us).

Last night a group of friends and I played ultimate frisbee from 10pm to 11pm! It was great :)

Today (Wednesday) I had Drawing (8-10) and Spanish 201 (1-2). The Drawing class seems the most demanding class as of now.. we have 3 sketchbook assignments due by Monday! But lucky for me I have a friend that is also a Graphic Design major in that class, 2D and fit for life. So it'll be good to have someone to talk about work and whatnot to. This afternoon then I had my spanish class. I was so excited after getting out of that class; compared to spanish at Metamora, this seems muy facil!! We don't really speak spanish at all in this class, whereas we would get points off for saying a word in english at my class in high school! But it will still be a good learning experience I believe.

Besides classes, dorm life has been pretty amazing. I'm really connecting with the guys on this floor and it's been really cool getting to know each of them! We have a meeting tonight at 10pm (I hear togas and icy-hot is involved.) But it's been awesome :)

Saturday we have a "pick-a-date" and Community Plunge. For the "pick-a-date" we pick a date (ask a person of the female gender to go with us) and head out for unlimited pancakes in the morning and go garage-saling. This goes on from 7am-12. (yes.. 7 AM on a Saturday.. ugh)

I've really appreciated all your prayers for my transition here! It's gone so smooth I can't imagine doing this alone! I've loved hearing from you all :) feel free to call/text/e-mail me anytime!

Through Faith, Hope, and Love,
