First week of classes: DONE.

I officially survived my first week of classes. I'll try to make this a daily thing, but I thought I should catch you up on my week first! My Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule is pretty simple... Convocation at 10 until 11 and then my first class (GNED) is at 1:45. Then I go to Evangelism at 2:55, right after GNED. So far, I really like both of these classes. I haven't learned a lot in GNED yet, but the teacher is really nice and super funny. Evangelism is probably my favorite class so far. We have a lot of work to do, but in the first week, I have learned so much. (It's also a plus that there are many attractive men in that class, but I'm sure you could have guessed I was going to say that ;)) My Tuesday and Thursday schedule is a little crazy, but I'm surviving. I have my 7:40 Design class, which is actually really boring, for 2 hours and then at 10:50 I have English which stinks even more. I've tried to squeeze breakfast from the Rot in there between classes, but I think next week I'm going to just eat lunch instead. The breakfast food is nasty! After English, I have Bible class at 3:35. It is probably one of the most boring classes I have ever been in. You see, my original teacher is currently in Turkey for 9 weeks, so we have a long term substitute who is also the head of the Judaic Studies here. Therefore, all he talks about is Israel and Jews. I have yet to learn something in that class!
Besides classes, I have been staying PRETTY busy! There have been sooo many activities and fun things to do around here, it's crazy! Yes, most of my friends are guys, but it's really okay! I'm meeting a lot of people on my dorm. We also have a sister dorm (M16) and a brother dorm (M9). We eat dinner a lot with them, and do a lot of activities with them as well. On Wednesdays for Campus Church, we all sit together, and we also all sit together for Convo. Last night, we had Bro/Sis dorm bonding through a wonderful game of Capture the Flag! It was a crazy, 2 and a half hour game that resulted in both of our teams (it was guys against girls) just giving up! We had a lot of fun and I met a lot of people that are in our brother dorm! Such nice guys! :)
Convocation on Wednesday was cancelled because Jerry Falwell Jr. was supposed to speak, but had to go to a funeral, so Friday was our first Convo with everyone! It was wonderful! The campus praise team is great and really picks the best songs ever to play! We learned about missions and everyone was touched by it. Campus church on Wednesday was also amazing. The music they play at our services is seriously the best. It's my favorite part! Clayton King, one of our Campus Pastors spoke about beginning with the end in mind and about 35 students accepted Christ for the first time (including a girl from my hall! :))
I'll post about today after the day is over, but my first week here was great! I am so glad I go to this college!

  1. I'm so glad you are having such a great time! Interesting that you like Evangelism so much, I despised that class. But, I also LOVED my Old Testament class, too. Go fig! Can't wait to see more pictures of your college experience and I look forward to frequent updates in the life of my favorite modern-day Liberty student! :)
