String Cheese = Best After School Snack

OOOooo Back to school, back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool.

  • Today I went to Monday Morning Prayer, and it was great. It filled me with anticipation for the work of God in this Spring Semester.
  • Then I went to work. It went by pretty quickly and it was pretty nice to be back in school/work mode. It actually got me back in school mode I think.
  • Then I went to my first class of the day.....Hort 480. I walked into a room of 10 desks circled up in the middle of a classroom. (a little intimidating) So, I sat down and we all kind of stared at each other awkwardly in silence. Anyways, there are no exams in this class (weird). Instead we will read about modern sustainability issues in the greenhouse and in life. We will have a 3 page paper due over our daily reading written from our perspective on the current issue every time we meet for class. The class meets 3 times a week (that means I have a 3 page paper to write every other night (YUCK)! The class is a discussion time and no lecturing! Our professor is into research and this class is his research. He will use our reflective writings from the beginning of the class and the end of class to better understand the discussion learning style used in college classrooms.
  • The other class I had today was Hort 283. It is a pesticide certification class (a.k.a I'm learning and being certified to kill bugs :D). I was one of maybe 7 girls in the class out of the 115 in the lecture hall.
There you have it sister, Kasey, my first day of school in the second part of 14th grade.

What's been on my mind...

Psalm 68. My favorite part is verse 10. It says "In your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy." I'm not really sure why I feel so strongly about this verse. I have a feeling that God is going to use this verse in some really big way in my life sometime soon. EXCITING! Anyways, classes start tomorrow and I'm not in the school mode yet. Hopefully by tomorrow I will be. I'm very excited to see what my classes will be like, and meeting new people. I'll update tomorrow on how the first day was! :)
