Ode to Dorm 1

This will not be an ode. This will not even necessarily be pleasant. This will simply be. As I am. In Dorm 1.

So the start of year was everything I had expected and more. Note: not everything it could have been and more. Just everything I had expected. You can read into that what you will. But it has been getting progressively better as the days wear on.

My roommate situation is not bad. Not bad at all. Esther is as sweet as ever. Her English has gotten much better over the summer. I wish I could go home with her to Korea next summer. Maybe then I could meet my birth mother. But that trip must wait. Honestly, I'd rather get married. :) Amy is cute too. She is different than what I imagined. Very outgoing and fun. She is friendly and we're getting along well so far. I think she'll be signing out a lot of weekends. So that will be nice for me and Esther. A little more space in the room. Not much, but a little more.
We have set up our room. It gives us more space than what I had imagined. Amy set up hers and Esther's side pretty neat. So we have an empty space in the middle for walking room. All of our clothes and appliances and books fit nicely. So I was worried about nothing.

Classes aren't bad. I'm not looking forward to my daycare class. But it will teach me something new. My Creation Studies class is more interesting than I thought. It used to be called Apologetics. That makes me more interested. And I really am glad to be taking another Bible class. I've missed those classes. I really need to start going to Sunday School again. I miss the new knowledge. My Social Work class is amazing. I'm a little nervous about it. I'm afraid I might find that I don't have a natural knack for this sort of thing. But I'm honestly not that worried. I'm sure I'll learn a lot through the class and through my internship. I had my 100 level FACS class this morning. It's with Corsini. It may be a deathly boring class, but he'll make it fun, I'm sure.

My two online classes I've just scrapped the surface of. Social Problems will be very interesting. I'm a little worried about Stats. I'd love to make all A's this semester. The only class that might give me a little trouble would be Stats. Thankfully, Matt got an A in the class and so did Kristin. So they should be able to help me through the course if I have any problems. My professor seems to be very open and willing to help also. I'm about to tackle my first assignment in the class. Thank the Lord for the internet. I can just type in the problem to Google and get a little more instruction on how to go about figuring out the problem. I've always been good at Math... but people say that if you're good at Math you're not so swell with Stats and vice versa. We'll see.

I re-reading Harry Potter. More slowly this time. And I'm picking up on more of the details. And yes, so far it's just as good as the first time through.

I've newly discovered how much I like Howie Day. I've always had him on my ipod, but just recently began listening to him. And now I can't stop. It's pretty much amazing.

I like things that remain constant in my life. My friend, Jason Glass is one of the very few things that has remained the same from last year to this. I appreciate him all the more for that fact. The other day I realized that he had not changed in our friendship and probably won't. I like that.

Pray for my friend, Kristin. She has lost her grandfather to heaven. Praise the Lord that her papa found Christ before his passing. But prayers for the family as they mourn their loss and say their last goodbyes.
