As many as you know, the second semester of my sophomore year has begun! When summer rolls around, I'll be halfway done with college.
Before I tell you about the latest and greatest at the Trin, I'll give you a few real brief details of my last days at home.
My mom has been wanting a wall decal with this verse from Joshua on it for quite some time, and I had just the place for it. Before I left home we put this up together. It is happily hanging on a wall in our basement, meaning I am the only one that gets to see it daily. Nonetheless, it's still something that stands for a lot.
On my last night at home I got to see Rachel play basketball one last time and then Nathanael took me out to Benvenutos. It was our first time going there together-it's fun to think that after 3 years we still find new places to try. It was hard to say goodbye after a whole month away from school. However, it helps to know that both of us are taking a credit overload this semester so we will each be extremely busy. I also know I can come home whenever I work my butt off during the week and can relax at home, which is a comfort. Wednesday morning Ben and I packed up my car and headed to Trinity after lunch. It only took us two and a half hours to get here. I unpacked and noticed that more than ever I was not ready for classes to begin.
Now, about those classes...here's a few thoughts thus far:
Statistics-I hate Math. I've already told Nathanael he can do my stats homework when I come home...it will be a privilege for him. :) haha. Dr. Klanderman seems very knowledgeable.
Microbiolgy-ho.ly. cow. gonna have to work to pass this one, folks. Dr. Carlson will make learning this subject matter more interesting, but he can't make it less difficult.
Honors Psych-definitely looking forward to this class! Dr. Colosimo is planning to do yoga everyday in this class-SCORE!
Anatomy & Physiology-My prof showed up in green pants, and English is not her first language. She wants to be called Jelena, and I can't hear anything she says. Let's just say, I may need both a tutor and a translator for this one. Missing Dr. Boomsma already!
Nutrition- on Tuesdays...hopefully an easy A?
Behavioral Pharmacology-begins on Tuesday as well, looking forward to my first 300 level class!
I've Noticed...
So many things are changing since I've moved back in. We moved all of our furniture around. And then a roommate got moved around. Tibstra 34 is missing Kirsten's ever-present joy and laughter already. She is only a quick visit across the hall away, but I'm scared I won't get to share enough memories with her anymore.
I'm also noticing what a great network of friends I have. Sometimes I question why I chose a college that is such a weird distance from home and my best friend, the friends God has given me make it a lot easier to be here. Today Justine invited a bunch of girls to spend the afternoon at her house and in her hot tub. She lives very close and SO many of us were blessed to enjoy the company of her family and the environment of her house today.
The stack of books beside me can't help but catch my attention now, homework is literally calling me.
My daily calender is always so timely-as it proved itself again to me today.
January 22-God is with you-- all the time!
