Well, i have been at college a little over a week now and it almost feels surreal. Every time i walk by the beautiful buildings or look at the mountains in the distance, i almost feel like i'm dreaming! Lookout Mountain is a gorgeous place!! If you have to go to college, i would recommend coming here :)Even though orientation week was rough, and i was definitely glad when it was over, i see how each step and each part had a reason. I got to meet people i probably would never have talked to, i got to see downtown chattanooga (and eat a really cool place!), i've gotten to experience different styles of worship in local churches. And then came the classes...
I walked into covenant with an expectation of how college classes would be - hard, boring, and never-ending homework. I can now see how i was wrong and right. They are hard, no doubt, but only once or twice have i truly been bored. And, yes, there is that pile of never ending homework..but its ok to take a study break or put something off till tomorrow. It doesnt all have to be done in one evening.
I have been a little homesick, here and there, mostly b/c its so different down here. I miss the north. Everyone here has an accent. EVERYONE. i feel left out. :) Everyone says ya'll and smiles and holds doors for you...i'm kinda like "Where am i???" But i have been so busy that i havent had time to dwell on missing home. i know i will be glad visit and see my family, i do miss them all. :)
Today was very exciting for, because i was able to pay the accounting office my bill, in full. I was so excited!! :) its just amazing to see what God has in store for me this semester and next. i hope to be a faithful steward of what he has provided for me.
