Fall and Caramel Apple Candles

I have this incessant cough that will not go away. I hate being sick and I just had to catch a cold the week school starts.

I am going to enjoy my classes...I think. Foundations for Educational Ministry is kind of a daunting class. Welcome to not being a freshman anymore I suppose. I think the subject matter will intrigue me I am just not sure about all the assignments. I entered the class this morning before the other class was finished. I always manage to be in an awkward situation the first day of school. That feeling where you know all eyes are on you and you stand alone on Idiot Island. I make it sound worse than it was, but that's how it always is.

My English class is going to be a bear but oh well. I know what to expect and the professor seemed to like my writing last year - hopefully this class will be as painless as possible. The class was less than enthused to be there - but I was kind of excited, so maybe I should be an English major?

Christian Scriptures is going to be fabulous. Granted, a lot of work but worth it. The professor seems amazing and fun.

I skipped work today. I was too overwhelmed, everything's new and I'm not sure how much I entirely remember to do. Plus my boss is on vacation until Friday so I can't exactly ask questions. I hated leaving that job in June because I was just getting the hang of it and now my mind is blank... I have my first Senate meeting tonight, and I have a lot of work to do to accomplish me senate duties. I know it's the end of September but I just wasn't ready for all of this madness yet. My mind still thinks the most complicated thing it has to interpret are the adventures of Harry Potter and how to make Mac and Cheese.

There is a cat outside the size of a dog...this thing is huge and I want it. I miss my kitty...it's lonely and somehow the Hawk is just not helping. Hopefully tomorrow will come with some determination, concentration and realization that summer is gone. That's a lot of 'ation's.

Oh, September

School starts tomorrow.
It's the usual first day of school feeling. I hate starting a new quarter, you see everything that has to be accomplished and just want to run and hide. I think it is the job of the professors to intimidate as much as possible...but really their bark is worse than their bite. But still, the barking is effective for self-doubt.

I am finished with Orientation duties and had a blast. My group was great and though not all were enthused about participating I can't judge because in truth last year I think I participated in about 2 events. This freshman class is huge but it's full of phenomenal people! So far everyone I've met has impressed me and their energy and love of God and life is so contagious.

I'm trying to start a Habitat for Humanity club...it's going to be a big task but I am determined to make this work. Anyone interested in helping? Do let me know.

So starts my sophomore year. Time disappears too fast around here.
