One Week Later

Today marks the one week anniversary of my arrival at Austin College. I've survived all my first classes, met lots of wonderful people, and gotten used to taking showers in a community bathroom.
I love it here.
Sure there are some things that I don't like, like taking showers in the previously mentioned community showers, the everyday battle to open my mailbox, and being away from my family; but there are so many more things that I like about life here. I've made friends with several very sweet girls on my floor and in my hall, and since AC is a small school we have a lot of classes together. We laugh a lot and I like how people keep their doors open so that you can pop in and say hi.
I LOVE my C/I (freshman orientation) class. It's called Just Justice, the coursework is super interesting and the professor is just plain awesome. She's been really supportive and helpful and she's just a really nice lady. My classmates are pretty awesome as well. They're the kind of people who enjoy sticking around after class to play spoons for hours on end. (Don't worry classes hadn't started yet.)  While I've heard others around campus talking about how much they like their C/I class, I've rarely heard anything about them liking the people more. We do. We hang out in between classes just because we miss each other.
It is work though. Please pray for me as I begin this semester, specifically that I'm able to manage my course load. I'm sure I will but your prayers would be greatly appreciated.
