I survived.

That's about all I can say about my first day. I survived! My education class was wonderful, and I think it is going to be a really good class. Plus, the fact that I have done a lot of the assignment's through RST is going to be incredible! Cha-Ching!

That class was from 8-8:50. SOOOO early!! I don't know how on Earth I made it to school by 5:30 for 3 years. That's absurd!

My next class wasn't until 12:45, so I had a lot of time. I came back to my room and started on went online to download and print off all of the assignments for this week. It's going to take a lot of getting used to going online and printing off assignments and doing them without the prof even mentioning it. Yeah, A BUNCH of getting used to. I started on some reading that I had to do, and before I realized it it was almost noon. Not knowing exactly where I was going, and knowing I was meeting a friend at the front of the building at 12:25 (everybody gets to class SO early... don't know how long that is going to last) I hopped on my bike and headed off. I went the wrong way and ended up on the engingeering street, but eventually got to the right building.

Political Science. Or, from here on out, polisci.

UGH! I loved government last year. Loved it! This semester might be different. I didn't get a good vibe from my prof, but the fact that I know a friend from Pre-K and a friend from camp that is in that class with me it's going to help. (This is me putting it VERY positively. Ask Megan who got an earful at lunch today right after I got out of class, and she is going to say it came across WAY differently).

I got my mail afterwards, and had 2 packages! One was a book that I am so excited to read called Prodigal God. Too bad now my time to read that is going to be minimal! The other was the entire first set of NCIS that my brother had sent me!! Considering my day was craptastic at that point (i was almost in tears after polisci), I watched the first episode. SO comforting! Then I began to read. and read. and read. I spent 3 hours reading and taking notes but have my education assignment for Wednesday done! I then went to Breakaway!! AH!! That is deserving of it's own blog post, but essentially it was 10,000 + students coming together at Reed Arena for a huge praise and worship session! AMAZING! I was definitely in need of a spiritual boost after my rotten day. So refreshing! That was from 9-10:30, and so I got back to my room around 11. I did some polisci reading and figuring out of assignments until midnight and called it quits. That stuff isn't due for a while, and I think reading that was getting a head of the game? Maybe? Wishful thinking?

Tomorrow I have geography, music, and history. I feel like music is going to be a huge eye opening experience for me because I have NO experience with that at all. But, we shall see!! The syllabus talked about identifying rhythm and measures and genres. Um... I can't clap my hands right to Rise and Shine... let alone something of high class musicalness. We most definitely will see how this goes. Another challenge perhaps?

But, I'm going to bed. I'm exhausted. Let's see how tomorrow goes!!
