A storm has come, and passed. Many things were new, and are now to become the sum of my life in the days to swiftly come now.
My first two days of class went very well. My roommate is started to get moved in, and I am slowly getting to know him.
I have The Teaching Profession in the morning on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This class will teach me to be a teacher. Thursdays we don’t actually have regular class, but will meet in October and early November on those days to visit local schools, and observe teachers there. Tuesdays are lecture days.
I have a First Year Seminar in the afternoon on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is a class to help new students get acclimated, and discuss literature, and learn to write Messiah’s way. I was put in a class at the last minute. 15 girls fresh from high school are my classmates, and my teacher is a woman with a single year of marriage to her most recent accomplisment. It promises to be a fun class that focuses on International Women Writers. Hence the women.
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I will start the morning with School and Society, a class that will educate potential teachers on the past, present, and future of teaching in America.
After that I have a Problem Solving with Computers class which will teach me to use Windows Explorer, Excel, and teach me to make a web page. It counts for 3 of my 6 obligatory math credits. It is as lame as it sounds, but this is one less math course I must take.
Next is Introduction to English Studies which will be my launching platform into the English major. This course will prove to be tantalizing, challenging, and extremely enjoyable. The teacher, topics, and methods of the class are simply incredible. It is like a banquet of rich foods, and the taste keeps getting better. Though it will certainly keep me on my toes.
Lastly is Biblical Hebrew, which will fulfill my language credit. This class is so different from all the rest, and is such a change of thought, it is a real relaxant for my brain. Not that the class is a breeze, but that is stimulates in very different ways. Plus, the teacher is hilarious.
The two teaching classes and Hebrew I get to take with the evanescent Hannah, and this makes those times even more enjoyable.
I am running now too. Hannah is getting me to exercise and be healthy. And, wonders never cease, I am starting to enjoy it. The wonder of a woman.
God is being so good to me, and I am having the time of my life. Got a job with the tech team here, and have a great community of International Students to hang with.
