College Life So far...


I promised I would keep my blog updated when I got to Indiana, so here is the first of many college blogs. I'm here, I'm unpacked, I'm settled and it's pretty wonderful. Everyone here thinks it's crazy that I came here without visiting the school first, but it's even better than I thought in a lot of ways. The campus is perfect...the layout, the buildings, the quality of everything. It's gorgeous. The food is good, but I think it could be great...I just haven't realized it yet because there are so many places to eat and things you can get. I just read online that there is an international station, and omlette station, a healthfood station, a deli station, and more and every meal...I had no idea that they offered all that. I've been going through the same line at every meal!
Classes start tomorrow! I'm actually really excited to get into a routine. It's been fun just getting to know people since Thursday, but I'm ready to star reality here. Some of you may not know that I decided to double major in Psychology and Criminal Justice. I'm really excited about that too. I've met some really great people in both majors and one girl who has the same double as me. my schedule is pretty good too. Monday Wednesday and Friday are pretty long days starting at 7:50 and going until 4:30 with an hour or so at lunch time. BUT my Tuesdays and Thursdays are great..I only have one class and it's at 2:00!!! I'm pretty happy about that.
My roomate is arriving anytime now. She and my two suitemates are all sophomores so they didn't have to be here until today. I've met my suitemates, but I am anxious to meet my roomate. Her name is Kallie. I'll keep you all posted on that situation...
Oh yeah...I found out from Dave that I am in Candace's old room here in Carmin Hall. Pretty cool.
All my pictures are up and it's starting to feel at home. I think my pictures will be distracting to me when I am studying though cause I have so many and I miss everyone SO much! I've never been homesick in my life...I'm really not that type at all....but I do miss my friends. We've stayed in pretty close contact though through msn and aol and other internet communicating. It's amazing the technology now. I sound like I'm 45 or something, but seriously....last week before I left I was over at the Blackstones and Ginny got me to go on her computer and Rachel was online and we talked with a webcame and microphone thing. It was like she was sitting right accross from me! Her picture was on full screen and it was perfect quality and the sounds was perfect too. It was so cool! I think I need a webcam!
Well, that's all for now I guess...I'm sure I'm forgetting a million things that have happened, but I wanted to just check in with you all. All is well here at Indiana Wesleyan! I'm really having a great time so far. Thanks for all of your prayers as my family travelled and now as I am adjusting. I love you and miss you all!

"I sound like I'm 45" Haha! You are too funny! "Back when I was a kid pop only cost .05 and I walked all the way to IWU to go to school!!"

Glad you are getting into a routine and loving it! I'm sure you will have a BLAST!!

I don't know many people there anymore, but be sure to look up Dave and Holly Ward. They are grads and just moved back there as Dave is now on staff (don't remember for what...) They are friends from Asbury and are sweet. You'd really enjoy Holly, she's great!

Keep us all updated! We love ya!
