First Day Of School

Well hello again. I'm at the library trying to kill some time and thought I'd blog! It's Monday and today is the first day of college classes! It's about 11:40 a.m. here and I have been in two classes plus chapel so far this morning. I woke up and got to my Elementary Spanish I class which starts at 7:30 a.m. Seems to be a nice professor but very strict. She's already told us that much of her focus will be on grammar--i.e. she takes of 1/2 a point for every accent/spelling error we make :-( So that should be interesting. Unfortunately this class meets four times a week at 7:30 a.m. So my mornings are going to be early!

My next class was across campus in the new Fermanian School of Business building. Surprisingly enough, this wasn't a business class, yet my Intro to Political Science class. Dr. Kirkemo, my advisor, is the professor and the room was full of 46 students! But it was cool realizing I'm taking the class in the new "state-of-the-art" business complex. Should be a good class.

Chapel was good as well. There are SO many students here--so many that they have added "overflow seating" outside the sanctuary in the foyer with a screen providing video feed from inside chapel. At the end of it, Dr. Pitts (the chaplain) had all freshmen come to the front of the sanctuary to kneel and be prayed for by the other students. Pretty cool thing to see.

So as of now, my day is done. After chapel, which ends at 10:30 my Mondays are complete. I'm about to head across campus to meet a roommate for lunch and then likely will take my first of several college naps!
