A Week Already??

A week has passed since I have arrived at school. I have definitely been keeping busy. Unfortunately, the actual college experience with classes and jobs has begun. Summer camp is over. Well, it was nice while it lasted.  I would say the best part of the welcome week was definitely the chapel sessions.  We had a wonderful worship leader by the name of Jeff Johnson.  If you ever get the chance to hear him, DO IT!  But if you don't think you will get that opportunity at least go look him up on myspace and listen to some of his songs.  He's awesome! I ended up going to church with my aunt that lives in Arlington now.  I liked it.  The church was Arlington Park Baptist Church.  I my end up going there.  I'm not sure.  I'm going to try some others before I decide that.  Classes started Monday.

I had Foundations for Excellence, New Testament Survey, Chapel, and Introduction to Language and Literature.  They're not bad.  I think that Foundations for Excellence is going to have way too much homework for just a 1 hour credit class.  I think I'm really going to like my instructor for New Testament Survey.  He hated school when he was in college so he tries to make it fun and interesting for us so that's cool.  But it still has a lot of homework.  Introduction to Language and Literature:  well, the teacher cracks me up.  She is an older lady with a LOT of personality.  And she is not going to make us do any research for any of our papers it will all be information dealing with personal experience.  We will only have one in-class essay. And I may have a potential close friend in there. So maybe english won't be too bad. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my slower days.  Although I still have to be at class by 8:00.  Ugh!  I have Macroeconomics and Introduction to Computers.  So far I am not liking macroeconomics.  It's not really that bad.  I just find it boring so far.  But maybe it is because both times have been at class I have started to fall asleep.  I don't know, it just puts me to sleep.  Right after Macroeconomics I have Intro to Computers.  It's not bad.  I think it will be pretty easy.  The instructor is as deaf as a post by his own admittance so that makes class very interesting cuz we are always repeating things.  

Wednesdays are my busiest days.  I have everything I have on Monday plus a class called Developing A Christian Mind aka "Worldview."  I can already tell this class is going to have the most amount of homework.  Let's see I have an interview due in September.  An 8-10 page paper due in October right after fall break.  Two 4-5 page papers due in November, plus a group project thrown in somewhere around then.  The instructor seems like he will be pretty cool.  But the class is 2-1/2 hours long so that makes it so hard to sit through. 

Thursdays are pretty much like Tuesdays.  Nothing spectacular.

Fridays are probably going to be my favorite days.  Besides the fact that the weekend is coming up soon, I don't have to be at class at 8 on Fridays. YAY!  Sweet sleep!  I don't have Foundations class on Fridays so I don't have anything until chapel.  But that's my class schedule in a nutshell.

Oh, and I got a job working at a cafe/50s diner type place on campus.  I don't really like it there, but it is a job and it's on campus so it saves gas.  I have worked every night starting on Monday night.  Usually I will only work until 9, but yesterday I didn't get off work until 11.  Joy!  I am hoping I get Friday night off for some needed rest and time for homework.  Saturday I am going to have to work from early morning to mid-afternoon and I have heard that the lady I will be working with isn't very fun to work with.  We'll see.  But anyways, that is what is going on with me......
