My Firsts....

Well, so my mom will kill me if I don’t do this, so here I am. My first week of my second semester of college is just about over. I guess I will share all my firsts since I’ve been back.
Sunday night was my first time to finally see Madalyn again. It took forever though, but that’s ok. We got in town, I dropped Kate at her house so she could shower before going to see some friends. I came back and Kimberly came down to help me unload. She only helped me with one load, because I had SO much stuff and I felt bad asking for anything more than that. I know this sounds backwards and ridiculous, but I got my father’s stubborn genes unfortunately. After tons of time of going up and down three stories, I had to stop. I left some stuff to get later, but I just couldn’t do anymore. I didn’t want to unload my stuff too much because I was waiting to talk to the resident director about switching rooms. So I just got necessities moved and straightened up, made my bed, waiting for Kate to call. She finally was ready, so I went to her house and then she dropped me back off at Nelson. I went to see Madalyn and it was SO exciting to see her. We went and got drinks at Sonic. NOT Dr. Pepper though, she is quitting with her NEW BF for a lil over a month. So, I will also be limiting myself even more than 1 on Tuesday and Thursdays. It will PROBABLY just be one a week, MAYBE two if it’s a bad day. That’s my “juice” of choice, so deal with it haha. So we went driving for a bit and caught up. It was nice. Got back to my room, settled in some more, talked to Keith, and went to bed. OH, I had not blogged over break so a little update, Keith and I are back together if you didn’t know. After a lot of talking, we are back together as of the 22nd of December and VERY happy. We both used the 2 ½ months apart to confirm that our feelings couldn’t be replaced by other individuals and gaining a healthier, more independent outlook. SO! We are very happy and I’m sure you’re being hearing more about him. Monday-I got up and had my 8:00 Art. It’s in my old psychology classroom, so I went to sit where I always sat and my friend Tiffany was there. So I’m glad I have a friend in that class. I then saw a guy friend Jeremy, of my sisters. I’ve only met him like once. But I saw him look at me weird, and then keep looking at me confused. I knew immediately he mistook me for Kate, but that’s ok haha. I’m used to be knowing by her here. I actually got yelled at from a car while crossing the street if I was a Whitworth, he said I looked just like her haha. This is a daily part of my life here. Art was fine, my teacher seems ok. I can tell he tries to be funny, and he’s mot, but that’s fine haha. I love art and so I’m looking forward to this class. Immediately after that I had my psychology class. It’s in Chambers Hall, a building I’ve never been in before, and I’m a little scared of it haha. I couldn’t find my class, but it’s not because I’m stupid, it’s because the building is CONFUSING! But a professor helped me out. My psychology class is developmental and I’m real excited about it. I already LOVE the topics we’re starting to cover. My teacher reminds me of Mrs. Terri Reed SO much! Then I had to head straight to English class. My teacher is a little wacky and seems like she could be from Macnolia….haha…but she’s nice. Then I met up with Madalyn and Riane for chapel. Chapel was good, TONS of people of course haha. Then I had “free-time” until work. I worked on unpacking because I didn’t get much of anything done before going to sleep Sunday night. It was my first day of work. I was nervous, but ready. It went well. Carrie, the sophomore that works with me and is really nice was there. She has been “training” me this week. However, my “training” isn’t very thorough. But I know how to work with the files, I’ve been making on-campus deliveries, handling the mail, and I know how to do some stuff with our Legacy group request forms. It’s all kind of confusing, but that’s ok. Right now, theres this BIG project we’re working on that basically requires me to look at almost every file we have, which is A LOT, and search for several pieces of info. Like if we’re the executor of their will, if we have copies of whatever they’ve contributed to ACU, its real lengthy and tedious, but I don’t mind. I am the main student working on it, and I know how to do this, so if all else fails I work on that. And then we always check paper in the copiers, check the coffee maker and set it up for tomorrow, check the cokes, hit lights, lock doors, etc. I like it. After work Madalyn came over and we watched Maury while I unpacked and cleaned. Then we met Riane for dinner. It was good to see everyone.
Tuesday-My day again starts at 8:00 with biology. My teacher is crazy! She requires us to stand up every 20 minutes or so because people’s attention span is only 12 minutes. She talks about random things. Her outlines are frustrating, because they’re keyword outlines for our notes, and they make little sense. Hopefully, after my first test I’ll figure out her system. I’m supposed to go by her office by the end of this coming week so that should be interesting! After biology I went to Madalyn’s room while she finished getting ready. We have Bible this semester together and it’s amazing. We’re so excited. Then there was chapel and lunch. I rushed to my room, grabbed a leftover burrito, and left again for my 12:00 speech class. My teacher is a young, pretty woman, so all the guys are heaven. She seems like a great teacher, but the guys are going to have to stop being so lame haha. Then I had work again. I came back to my room and did a little work before going to the office at 2:00. It was good. Same sort of stuff. Madalyn and I chilled in my room working and stuff until our FIRST SING SONG meeting!!! It was short and just boring business stuff. So that was that. Got back to my room and spent about a little over an hour talking to Keith after my shower. He was doing great. He feels good about all of his classes EXCEPT Astronomy…lame…haha. He had to choose between several courses under a required subject and that was the only one available with his schedule, he is not happy haha. However, he is working with his advisor on other possibilities, because he won’t do good if he’s not excited about it, if we waited until next semester he could take another course under that same required field and actually LOVE it, so we shall see. After we talked I took a shower and went to bed!
I shall stop because I’ve said too much! But I will blog more often I promise, just be patient because I barely have ANY free time when I’m not studying, but I’ll do my best. Love you all!
