Welcome Week and First (Few) Weeks of School!!

So I finally got a chance to sit and update my blog! This is my 3rd week of school now and I am loving it!  It can be stressful trying to make a routine since it is so different from high school. Practically all my homework is reading. That is all I do after class, read, and read, and Zzz.

Welcome Week was fun! We were put in our mentor groups, the people we will have in our Cornerstone class with all semester. We had chapel, mentor group time, and Group Olympics and other activities to partake in. Here are some pictures of the fun

look at the people's positions- intense game!

These first few weeks have been good. I miss my church family and kids a lot, but I try to not think about. Instead I just talk about them a lot and share cute things they do and pictures... lots of pictures! My bulletin board will be covered after I get them all printed! I have made some good friends. I love my RA, she is pretty awesome! It has been great getting to know people.
 
Here are some picture of my first few weeks.

For some reason those pictures wouldn't get any smaller.
 
 This past weekend my hall (Gardner 3rd East) participated in a mud fun run. I twisted my ankle, but walked the rest and finished with my team. Melissa and Nick (our mascot since he was the only guy) are seriously the best friends I could have right now. They stayed with me the rest of the run and Nick gave me a piggyback ride.Nick and Melissa are both super funny and sweet!! It has been great to getting to know them better. I have known Nick since middle school and Melissa since elementary school.
 
 
I can't wait to go home next weekend! I can't wait for the rest of the semester! Now as I close I had to add this picture of the sky, it was so beautiful.
 
 
Miss everyone! My blogs will be a lot shorter from now on.
 Had to get everyone caught up :)
