It's getting better

Well last night was my second class. What I could gather from the description from the class it consisted of ancient history and that is exactly what it is. As I walked into the building, I tripped on the lip of the doorway and almost fell into the arms of a stranger. He didn't laugh and I pretended that it didn't happen. He didn't even ask if I was alright, he simply kept on walking. I went to the room number that I had and looked into the window on the door. It appears dark and small. My thoughts were "how can they hold a class in a room like this. The window was above my head so I couldn't see everything. I slowly opened the door and there sat this older woman at her desk. I simply apologized for entering and she said that if she didn't want anyone in there she would have locked the door. I knew this was Professor Wray and neglected to introduce myself and ran. I went to the correct classroom and again, it was small but could hold about 30 students. One by one they started coming in. The classroom was filling up. This class will be taught by two Professors, White and Wray. Professor White was a lot younger than I but very welcoming. I soon discovered that Professor Wray had a charming wit and a calming affect on all of us. During her introduction I asked if I could tape her class. That opened a whole can of worms, tasty ones at that. She was very understanding and told me that I would be fine and not to worry. I soon discovered that she was an excellent story teller and held my attention. I took notes but I don't know if I will ever be able to translate what I wrote. I now know what you mean by not being able to read my handwriting. During our first break, many students came over to reassure me that I would be fine and that the two Professors were wonderful instructors. I also discovered that many were in my Monday night class.

I am so thankful that this first week is over. I still have tons of studying to do, but my mind is processing the information and I am actually looking forward to the work. The ancient history class has a lot of religious instructions. In fact, the first book I will be reading is the "Introduction to Religion". And Professor White is a Chaplain. God has me right where He wants me to be.

When I left I followed the crowd and found an easier way to get back to the parking lot. I had that spring in my step and my mind was reviewing the topics discussed. The night air was perfect, calming, enjoyable.

Well this will be a busy weekend of review. But I also need to remember to take time for myself and my other responsibilities. Have a good weekend and until Monday.....
