Couple days in....

So I thought I would start by saying... please pray for my stomach... oh goodness. It's kinda a mess at this point like ya IBS is definitely eating me alive. It takes away my concentration in class and problems like that. Please pray God would calm my body down or whatever else you think should be prayed. Some people probably don't understand at all... and my sister, mom, and the rest of her fam could like nod A LOT. Please pray.
On a happier note, I am enjoying getting to know people here. I got to go rollerblading with a friend last night and talk, it was good. I'm to the point where I can tease with my roommates which makes me happy. It scares me sometimes because I feel rude. But they all said if I'm rude they'll let me know.. and laugh anyways. :) Last night, I watched a SCARY movie.... I like never do that... it was totally peer pressure. And the movie was, Secret Window.... which means we got to the end and were like why did we watch that... but oh well. It was nothing like Number 23... that one really messed with my head.
Classes are great, here's a quick synopsis if you haven't heard-
Old Testament- going to be A LOT of reading, journaling, hard core tests... but solid info and the prof is interesting so it'll be good. MWF 8:55am... this class is the one that makes my stomach so sick... and then i have the long day ahead :( but PRAY. God is good!
Fine Arts- This class is going to be interesting... even though i am not an artist. I get to go to a mueseum and write a paper on a piece of art that I thoroughly enjoy.. so that should be fun!
Chapel- music is tight... most played song "Saviour King" and the messages are tight too.. its weird cuz its so short, but its been good so far. Next week is Fall Summit so there are more chapels and a cool speaker!
Philosophy- ok.. imagine with me. Ben Franklin with short hair, but still the little curl that happens. Yeah, ok this is my prof for this class. I say that because he is so cute. He has a whistle to keep everyone awake which is funny. We are reading a book called Sophie's World. I get to read the first 5 chapters before Tuesday night. I'm not sure about Philosophy yet; although, I loved the thought processes he took us through last week which means I'll probably like it.
DRUM ROLL.........
SWK 170- ok here comes the nerd. We went over a case study the second day... and let's just say I fell in love. It was so amazing to know that I am going to help people, people don't do everything right or like I would necessarily do it. It was fun pondering what the social worker did right, and how I would have done it differently. One of my thoughts got shut down, but it was good to see that happen and learn from it. Oh, I know these classes are goign to be TOUGH, but oh I have love for this area. It is totally me, and God is goign to bring me through it for His glory and that makes me SO happy!
SWK 342- This prof is amazing. He cracks me up, keeps our attention, is real. I'm told his class is very hard, but I feel like most classes here fit in that catagory. It's human behaviors and I LOVE it.
I am going to a baseball game tonight. Reds vs. Cubs in Cincinnati. Fun stuff. Thanks for praying for me. God is moving. God is good! I am SO blessed.
