First Week DOWN!

The first week of college has felt like the first month of college. It has been crazy busy! However, I have loved every minute of it.

My girls have seemed to move in pretty well and finally seem somewhat organized. I myself have also seemed to be pretty organized.

I do feel bad for maintenance because I feel like everything breaks down the first week because it isn't used to being used so much. Isn't that how it always works though?

I think I am going to like my Publication Design class the best. I get to learn how to organize brochures, newspapers, etc. Even my Video Production class, I think I am going to like. I am just such a Mass Comm major.

My least favorite class I think will be Spanish. I like the teacher and all it is just at 8am and I do not really want to take Spanish. I have to because it's a core class.

I do not know how I am going to feel about Personal Finance. There are 102 people in the class because one of the teacher's retired last minute and they didn't have enough time to hire someone new. So one teacher is taking two other classes and he can only take the two classes at a certain time. I will say I do like that this class is only on Tuesdays. It supposed to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So that is something really awesome about Personal Finance.

I have not taken Women's Ministry yet because that is only a Tuesday class. I am really excited about this class because it is a small class of about twenty girls. I know the majority of them too because a lot of them are Tri Chi's.

Last night, I got to be apart of a proposal. It was one of the sweetest things. After a TC meeting, I went over to the girl who was being proposed to apartment. Her boyfriend, soon to be fiance, was there with some of my friends and they were setting up the scene. There were 350 pounds of sand in her apartment. (On a tarp, of course.) The sand led from the door to her room where there was a beach scene projected on the wall with waves crashing, candles, and the song Marry Me by Train playing in the background. Two of our friends were in the room taking pics and videoing the proposal. It was one of the sweetest things and I am so thankful that I was asked and privileged to be apart.

I seem to be doing okay on sleep, but ask me that next week and the story may be different.

God Bless,

New Beginnings

Well... Let me begin by first noting that yes, I did delete all previous blogs. I just needed a clean slate and something that I am actually going to continue to update because I got really lazy on posting blogs last semester.

So that being said... Here is my first blog of the new school year!

Not only am I a Sophomore (Time sure does fly!), but I am also an RA. While being a Sophomore is an exciting thing within itself, being an RA is even more exciting to me.

I moved back to OBU on Tuesday (August 14) and went through RA training for three days. The training was nice. I learned a lot, but I was getting super antsy because I was just very ready to meet all the girls on my hall. I knew their names, but I was ready to put names with faces and meet family and friends.

Once, Saturday FINALLY came I was ecstatic. The girls on my hall are all moved in and I already love every single one of them. This is year is going to be fantastic! I cannot wait to see how God is going to move through their lives and mine as well.

I literally am so happy that I am blessed to have the privilege to be an RA. I have been super social with all the girls on my hall these first couple of nights to the extent that my voice is going hoarse. I have also lacked sleep. Luckily, I was able to take a two hour nap yesterday night and slept until 9:30 this morning.

While I have enjoyed meeting many new people, I have also enjoyed catching up with old friends. It really feels like no time has past with my friendships here at Ouachita. We instantly pick up right were we left off before summer vacation. Everyone has many interesting stories from summer and it is just nice to see old faces and know that your friendships haven't changed a bit.

Hopefully, I will keep this blog up to date this year!

God Bless,
