College Life??

Well, I’ve moved into my dorm and pretty much gotten everything situated. Things are good! UT is so awesome. The campus is beautiful and I can’t imagine myself anywhere else. This is my school : )

Classes start tomorrow and I’ve got mixed feelings about that. On one hand I’m so excited to get started. To take one more step towards my future. And on the other hand I’m a little nervous about the whole thing. I just don’t know what to expect really. ugh. We’ll see tomorrow then I guess.

I have a slight case of homesickness. It’s not unbearable. It actually not that big of a deal either. But being 9 hours away from everything and everyone I know is going to take some getting used to.

I had my own room for a whole day! haha And then I got a roommate. We have close to nothing in common so we’ll see how the whole living together thing goes.

I found an awesome group here on campus that I’m really interested in. Vols4Christ. They had a little table set up in front of my hall and the reps that were manning the table were so friendly. I’ve talked to them a few times over the past 2 days. I’m really fired up to get involved here at school. I feel like I’m really being drawn to campus ministry. Or a Bible study of some sort. Any kind of fellowship with other Christians at UT would just be awesome. I can’t wait to see how God is going to use my and how he is going to transform my life in the next 4 years.

The weekend before I left two friends of mine were in a pretty serious car accident. The driver luckily only suffered minor injuries. The passenger however had a broken femur and a collapsed lung. The whole situation freaked us all out pretty badly. But the passenger has since been released from the hospital and is on her way to a full recovery. GOD IS GOOD!!

Ok, well that’s all for now I suppose. I’ll write more later.

It’s my Birthday!

Today, August 5, is my 19th birthday! One year closer to 20 and that is not easy to grasp. I leave for college in a week and I’m so excited. I’m moving 9 hours away from home and lately I’ve been trying to come to terms with the fact that nothing will ever be the same. My best friend of 10 years is going to the Air Force and has decided to enlist for 6 years. It’s hard to imagine that we will see each other only a few times during those years. It’s a bummer. My high school was really small and I went to school with a majority of my friends for around 6 years. Moving on to college changes everything; moving out of the state changes things even more drastically. 

I’m so excited to embark on this new adventure that is before me. I’m ready to become the woman God wants me to be and to see his plans unfold for my life.
