Second Week

Well I survived my second week and actually felt comfortable in everything related to the newness. I have even developed some new relationships. I am still learning names but the conversations have been great. Monday I had my reading class. I have been taking the test online but it is apparent that I simply can't read. I find that I am struggling with different concepts. It might be the magnitude of reading that I have. I am still trying to discipline myself as to what I need to work on verses what I don't really need. Thursday I had my Ancient History class and the lectures are wonderful. Again, tons of reading. Professor White and Professor Wray are great story tellers. I can actually relate to the stories based on Don's sermons and our Sunday School lessons. It is wonderful to have some recognition to the subject. Plus it makes it more enjoyable.

During my third week I plan to explore the campus a little more. I think this week we go to the Boatwright Library. I know that once I pass through the doors I will be in complete wonder. The outside of the building just wows me. I need another trip to the bookstore. I am dying for something with the U of R logo.

As I was leaving last Thursday night there was a transit bus there, I allowed my imagination the opportunity to think that the football players were filling up the seats for their first away game. I love coming by the soccer field after class. The lights are brightly shining, several players still kicking the ball around, just complete rejuvenation. I love sports and hopefully I will be able to attend a home football game, crowds and all.

I still can't believe that I am doing this. The stress is making it real! But it is a good stress.

I have Monday off for Labor Day, but I will still forge towards my reading. Today I plan to just relax and back to the computer tomorrow. Have a great day.
