Mmm Thursdays...

So today was my "welcome to the work force" day. I've been working at the Graduate School of Business for about 3 weeks now, but today was a day unlike any other. It started out with me not doing too much, just kinda sitting around. But it ended with me standing in a bustling doorway passing out flyers for an hour and a half. That being said, it wasn't all that bad. Sure there were lots of awkward hand-offs and word-exchanges, but overall I would deem it a success.

In other news, I really love my Thursday classes! Well...at least most of them. I have Math first thing in the morning (8 am to be exact), but it's relatively easy so I usually just zone out. The time always seems to go sooo slow in that class, but I know it's only because I get really excited about going to Old Testament next.

I know it's kind of nerdy, but it's seriously the highlight of my week. Right now we are going through Genesis (obviously) but more specifically, we just finished the "period of the beginnings", and now we're moving on to "the age of the patriarchs". I know I've pretty much told everyone how awesome my professor is for this class, but seriously, he's the best (or I'm just really excited about what we're learning). In the class of 90, which is EXTREMELY large for DBU, I sit in the front row...right in front of the podium. I feel like a dweeb, but it's totally worth it :)

My next class is Intro to Christian Ministries which I only have once a week since it's a hybrid. My professor for that class is pretty rockin, but the class is much smaller and much more conversational than Old Testament. I'm learning all types of fun stuff about my personality and spiritual gifts, and today we went over conflict resolution and such which I thought was pretty interesting.

Thats basically it as far as my fav. classes. My history class is tight, but nothing compares to Thursdays.

Oh Thursday, must I wait another 7 days?!

we just got a chocolate/strawberry frozen yogurt machine in the caf.

yea. i'm pretty excited about it too.

Sunday. The 7th of September. 2008.

So I've recently come to the conclusion that college is nothing that I thought it would be. I came in with so many expectations and idea's about what it would be like, and it has definitley been hard to realize how silly they all were. Now don't get me wrong, I know that my entire college life isn't decided in two weeks time. But I have learned a lot about myself in the meantime. My personality. My flaws. My thoughts and desires. I have never reflected and analyzed as much as I have recently. Life is changing and I need to be ready. And reguardless of how things appear on the surface, I'm excited for what the future holds.

I really want to start this year out right. I know that God has me here for a reason. He opened way too many doors for me to get here for this to be some freak accident. I just need to be patient (a fruit I am somewhat lacking). I still feel as if the entire world is at my fingertips... I need to be seeking Him and willing to go where He leads.

These past few weeks I have been church hopping with a friend I met up here. She's a sweet girl named Elizabeth and she comes from Katy so we both are always up here on the weekends when everyone else goes home. Well, anyways, we've tried a variety of different churches...some great, some boring, and some I just felt indifferent about. So far I really like The Village best. I think it's a combination of Matt Chandlers passionate speaking, the welcoming congregation, and the sense of community you feel when you walk in. I still have one more church I'm going to visit before I make my final decision, but I think my mind's already made up.

Between church hopping, school, and work I've stayed pretty busy. When I get back to my room I usually just want to collapse and relax. Oh college...
