Graduate goes to college!




I'm really late getting these up. Here are a couple pictures from graduation. 


                   Here I am with one of my good friend Merideth (above) and with Audi (below).

Now I am at Johnson! I really like it. My roommate and I are getting along splendidly. Here are a few pictures that I took before room checks, so it's fairly organized ;). 


Here's a up-close picture of the desk. Exciting, huh?
Below is a picture of all my text books. 


Most of my classes are very interesting. I like (almost) all of my professors! 
Here's a list of my classes:
Pentateuch (study of the first five book of the Old Testament)
The Gospel Narratives (overview of four gospels)
Biblical Hermeneutics
Introduction to Psychology
Basic Christian Beliefs
and of course, Chapel
The work load isn't overwhelming at all. There certainly is plenty of reading to do, but it isn't too bad. The classes have challenged my way of thinking, which I'm sure is a good thing. It is sometimes frustrating, but necessary. 
We are hosting a guest for preview days, so that is really exciting! I've been able to jump right into the field of study that I am getting into (Teaching English as a Second Language).  I am involved in a program called "Europe Right in Your Backyard".  I go with a group to a family from Ukraine's house to teach them English. I have enjoyed it. Soon Kylee, my roommate, and I will be getting our own family to work with by ourselves. I am a little nervous, but mostly excited about that. The family knows hardly any English, but are desperate to learn. 

Thank you all for checking in. 

much love,
