College

I figured that I should probably update everyone on how things are going--even though I don't know if anyone still reads this.

I am really enjoying the classes. Did you know at Bible College's they PRAY before every class!?! I know, I know. What else are you suppose to expect? But I absolutely love that I get assigned to do homework in the Bible. It's what I've wanted for so long; I've wanted something to challenge me to dig deeper into God's word and that is exactly what this experience is doing to me. Oh! So my classes: Intro to Bible, Intro to Worldviews, Intro to Written Comp, Psychology, and Principles of Bible Study. That's only 15 hours and aside from that I have other required or volunteer things I'm doing. Tomorrow is actually my first exam ever! I'm sort of nervous, but not really. If anyone did not find this out yet, Monday, I forgot to turn in an assignment and you should all mark that down in your calendars as the first day that Michelle has ever missed an assignment ever in her whole entire life. FYI: Psychology has been pretty boring.

I think the part of school that I'm disappointed with is making friends. Everyone is telling me, "Oh, it should only take you like two weeks." Ha. Coming in at a different time makes it very hard. Most people get long freshman orientations where they meet a lot of people and I don't get that. I talked to my friend Ashley today who moved to California to go to Biola (some Christian College). She has already been there for over a term and still hasn't found a solid group of friends. I sort of came here expecting to immediately get taken into some group of girls and then they'd become my best friends. Boy, was I wrong. I'm still praying and hoping for it to happen or at least for relationships to develop more. The girls on my floor are nice and all, but they don't seem too open to making new people feel comfortable. For instance, there were suppose to be dorm outing nights, but that hasn't happened at all. We don't do any group activities and it's pretty sad. Some of the girls are really nice and I'm able to go into their rooms and hang out and watch movies. I'm really luck to have Jordan here so I don't feel like a loser with no friends. It's all super duper hard. I miss everyone so much from home. It's hard to not cry about it. Whoever reads this, please pray for me and making some good, solid girlfriends. I'm tired of feeling alone in the dorms.

Other than that, it's amazing to be able to go out at 11:00 p.m. and there's no one that is going to tell you no. It's awesome. If some of you are considering whether or not to go to Lincoln, maybe knowing that you get $50 on your student id card for starbucks would help you finalize your decision.

I miss all of you so much.

Pray for strength for me too!!!
