IIIIIIIII've got a mac! Woot! Seriously, I love this thing. I feel very cool. :)

Today was the first day of classes. I'm even less enthused now than I was before. My classes are going to be so dull. Ugh! Just this one semester, and we're done. I can totally do this.

It's funny though - I went into what I thought was my religion class, sat down, and realized the class had been changed to "classical studies". Of what? Archeology. Greek archeology. Oh my word... Just reading the syllubus was enough to make me panic! "Study archeology data, make deductions about the data, and facilitate discussions about those conclusions."

...what?

Needless to say, I'm dropping the course and trying to find another. If you remember and want to pray big, pray I find a 11-12 class or a 12-1 class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday that fulfills my global perspectives requirement. I need that class to graduate this December!!

Things are still looking up everywhere though! Jodi was amazing and gave me verses to meditate on and pray over. I love how seeking Him brings immediate relief! What was once something that I was fully freaking out about became something that I can practice faith and trust. He's provided so many times for me, why not now?

I also adore the movie Pride and Prejudice. Kiera Knightly is ridiculously beautiful.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm gonna soak up the suuuuuuuun

Quite literally. Soaked it all into my backside. Woot. We're at the itchy peeling stage. Very hot. :)

Oo! I went to Sonic for the first time! I was craving a burger so I got the super-Sonic artery-clogging double cheeseburger. Never had the ketchup-mustard-mayo combo on a burger before. Very interesting. Hard to finish. So worth it.

Still feeling chill about 'the big unknown', surprisingly. God's been good, and He's giving me a peace that's totally uncharacteristic of me (in this situation). I'm hoping things will stay this way. I suppose this is kind of up to me? (staying faithful and trusting God will take care of everything)

Let's see... I have my own couch and chair now! Thank you, Frederiksen Court and your never ceasing need to renovate apartments! So come this December when I am graduated and no longer living in university-owned apartments, I'll at least have a couch to sleep on! (The details on the apartment and job to pay for the apartment are still in the grey (or black) area)

I'm excited for school to start, only because I can't wait for it to finish. BUT I am thoroughly excited about what Cornerstone is doing this Fall and I am SO excited to be a part of what's going on!

If you may remember, I made a resolution to meet someone new every week. Well, this summer, I may have slacked, but I have made up for it in the past 2 weeks. People I've met? Melinda, Jill, Vanessa, Junko, Steve, Lydia, Karli, Samatha, Amy, Bonnie, Scott, Colin, Jacob, James, Norman, Jonas, and Meghan. I think that might be it... Maybe a few more. :) I looooove meeting more people!
