Day One

And so it begins…my last full semester of college. Sure, I’ll have two classes this summer, but seriously, those don’t really match up to the intensity of a full semester. I had my 8 am class this morning, where I found out that I’m pretty sure I’m going to like it, despite the terrible timing. The class is aerobic walking (which sounds funny), and it is made up almost entirely of women. There is, as of today, one lonely male. Maybe he’ll find a girlfriend, if he doesn’t already have one. One of my coworkers is in the class with me, as is a friend that I’ve had in several classes before. It should be a great way to get exercise and have fun, too.

My other class today was 20th century America. I’m pretty excited about this class, although I know that it will be quite a bit of work. Nevertheless, I am really looking forward to it! I still have three more classes to go before I’ve been to all of them, but I think that they have great potential as well. There is one that I am looking forward to a little less than the others, but I won’t say which one, just in case it turns out to be fun.

Our new roomie, Brandi, moved in last weekend, and so far she’s fitting in great! She is a lot of fun to hang out with, which is always a plus! I hope to spend a lot more time with my friends this semester, since I’m taking fewer hours. We’ll see how that goes!

Well, I’ve got a paper to write, so I’ll wrap it up for today. If I have a chance, I’ll update again at the end of the week so that I can tell you how my other classes are going. Oh! I almost forgot! My church is doing something really cool! We’re having 10 different goals in 2010, some of which will be community service-type things. The next one is a book fundraiser for a local Headstart pre-k class! I’m really excited about this, and can’t wait to kick it off! Check out our website for more details!

Later gators!

Thinking of the wishful variety

Dear Everyone,

I’m sorry that my blogging has been rather skimpy of late. I have found myself swamped with learning! Between Shakespeare, East Asian Literature, Advanced Written Communication, Urban Development and Constitutional Law, I have so much reading to do I practically keep my books open all the time! Plus, planning a wedding is more complicated than it seems, but you can hear about all of that over at http://www.markandkatie.us.

One thing that I am really enjoying right now is the surprisingly fall-like weather! Here in Dallas, it has been rainy and cool for pretty much the past week. Although I am a sunshine-lovin’ gal, I adore the atmosphere provided by a chilly day and dark skies. Seriously, this is curl up by the fire, wrapped up in a blanket, drinking a hot chocolate while reading a good novel weather! If only I had the time. And a fireplace. Oh well, I’ll settle for reading a textbook in my under-the-lofted-bed workspace. :)

Well, that’s all I’ve got for now. See ya!
