Classes Begin

Well tomorrow is the day...classes will begin, the onslaught of homework will appear on my desk, and the long spans of time to relax will slowly disappear.  But for now, let's focus on today.

I was able to sleep in until around 10:00 and then slowly each of my roommates woke up and worked to get ready for yearbook pictures.  After lunch in Ludwig and a trip to the bookstore for a new shirt it was back to the apartment.  I spent most of my time writing in my planner and printing off each class syllabus.  Some classes seem as though they might be overwhelming...but I am sure it will all work out.  This evening the apartments were required to attend a meeting on basic rules and procedures.  The workers performed multiple songs to which they changed the words to explain the dress code.  Hilarious! Plus my new favorite quote..."Modest is Hottest." After the meetings I talked to my parents for a while and then worked out.  Speaking of working out...I was pretty excited this morning when I found out I have lost 6 pounds!  The trick will be to maintain that as the days come.  I have been having an issue with being motivated lately to work out, but hopefully I will receive some support.  Speaking of support, tonight as I have been kind of struggling to feel prepared and motivated for all that is to come, this verse has really spoken to me.

    "Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:4-5

I pray that this semester is filled with growth in not only my education but in my relationship with God and with those around.

Love,
Sarah
