Before I go off to my last class today, a quick update on the previous four in a half hours, while it's all still fresh on my mind...

1. Woke up at 7:15. 'Nuff said.

2. Intro to Christian Ministry at 8 with Dr. Henderson. I really like the professor, and the people in the class seem nice enough. The class itself won't be very hard; it's not exactly as much of an academic class as it is an orientation of sorts into the ministry-ish majors. I even get to take a personality test ;). Now THAT's exciting!

3. British Literature to 1785 with Mrs. Brown. She's probably in her 60's, and has kind of a bowl cut :). But she's really nice! Well, I don't know about "nice"... what I mean is she has a very quick wit, and kept us laughing. I think that I'll enjoy this class, even though there's, like, 40 people in there, none of whom I really know. I really wish that I could have taken this class Honors (less people), but it wasn't offered this semester. Should have done it last semester. D'oh! Oh, and the curriculum looks like the stuff that we (should have) read/studied Senior year. Shouldn't be too hard.

4. YOGA!!! Okay, so I'm really excited about this class :). There's about 16 of us in there (all girls, including my good friend Becca), and the "instructor"'s name is Fanny. She seems really cool! This class is going to be super fun. None of us have really done yoga before, so we'll all be learning together, which is good. We won't actually be doing yoga until next Wednesday, though. I'll let you guys know how it goes! The only thing I can see that I wouldn't like about this class is that it has the potential to get a little too "hippie" for my taste. I heard mention of candles and low-lighting. At least she said we'll try to stay away from "meditation". Oh, man. Ha!

5. Got my ID card "activated" (whatever that means), then went to lunch with Becca, Heather, Gracey, Jill, Katie, Meredith. It was kinda cool being back in Hardy. I mean, it's not like the food is amazing, but there's a lot of it. I'm down. I even topped the meal off with a bowl of Lucky Charms. Can't beat that! ;)

6. Waited in line for a while and bought my last two books I need. Also, I discovered that the UMHB Bookstore (which, before now, has not been anything spectacular) sells my favorite Pentel R.S.V.P. pens for 89 cents! Now THAT'S impressive. New favorite place! :) Any place that sells those pens has my utmost respect (because, of course, by their exquisite taste in ball-point pens they are marked with nothing less than high-class sophistication). I had to buy two more. I'm obsessed!

7. Talked to mom a little today, and tried to get some stressful money stuff figured out. I'm sure it's not very stressful, but it seemed so to me, mostly because I have no idea what any of it means. When I got my card activated, they informed me that "I" owe a balance of three thousand something (do they know who I am?!). I ended up calling my mom, of course, because the parents take care of that junk. But one of these days there really is going to be a money mistake or a misplaced balance or something, and they are going to strip me out of my room and throw me on the streets until I pay them back. At least that's what I fear in these situations (going to a college away from home, having no idea how or whether everything gets paid for). I feel like there's information that I'm supposed to be aware of, things I need to sign, someone I need to talk to, or whatever to make myself feel a little more "legit". Whatever. I guess I'm just content to go to class, not ask any questions, and try not to draw attention to myself. :) (This reminds me of the time I wrote you guys about when the "Feds" were threatening to go after me. I mean... what in the world?)
