well the new subtitle of my blog isn't exactly accurate seeing as i can't update my blog from pensacola...my college doesn't allow facebook, myspace, blogger, any social networking sites...
so....here's the update...
all summer i worked my rear off at A Beka Academy, 40 hours a week, successfully paid for MOST of my first semester of college :)
then, school began...i had 17 credit hour of classes, 22 actual hours of classes, and i worked 12 hours of week...plus about 12+ hours of required activities weekly including church, daily chapel services, student body meetings, collegian meetings, hall meetings, prayer group, fine arts events, etc.
my classes included biology, chemistry, english grammar and composition, history of civilization, and new testament survey. biology and chemistry both included labs that took up a large part of my week. i honestly loved my classes and my professors! a couple of professors got on my nerves but for the most part, they were awesome! my favorite professor has to be mr. knowles...he's like the stereotypical absentminded professor...he knows more about organic chemistry and quantum physics or whatever you want to know about but half the time he can't remember where his put his watch or to put the cap back on his pen before he puts his white dress shirts in the wash...one of the best stories he told was how on his first date with his now wife he explained Brownian motion to her when she poured creamer in her coffee...one of my favorite quotes by him has gotta be "ask questions, i won't take your head off, if it feels like i'm taking your head off it's only a milder form of what i could be saying"...i miss mr. knowles!!! dr. reese, my history professor, was also, AMAZINGGGGG, that man knows so much about history it's ridiculous...his stories about Martin Luther were amazing, and his commentary on all current events, SOOOO perfectly politically incorrect! he taught us that viewing history, Scripture has to be the final authority, like the mindset of Luther, "sola scriptura"!
life in dorms was...interesting. our room had to be one of the CRAZIEST arrangements on campus. me (from china) jenni (from scotland) deora (from the bahamas) and anna (from tennessee) it was cuh-ra-zyyyyyyy... we had 4 to a room, 8 to a bathroom = scaryyyyy
right now, i'm just enjoying a break from the madness, head back to school Jan 22
will write more later :)
