This last week was so interesting. It was a mixed bag of excitement, mild stress and tiredness, which of course leave you wondering at the end of the week what it was that you accomplished. It was the first week where I had school and work, and my professors didn't waste any time in handing out homework. I'm excited about school, my professors are all nice, for the first time in my college experience I have all women professors, which isn't bad, it's just different. My ASL class is ASL 150 which means it's an accelerated course and so in a mere 12 weeks we will cover all of ASL 101 and half of ASL 102, oh did I mention it's a full emersion class, no spoken English allowed during class time. Which is all fine and dandy till I have to ask something or state a fact, My receptive language is better then my expressive language, yes I can carry a conversation, but my strength there is that I can get myself into trouble but not out of it. This is the class I'm most excited about and I am so grateful it's what starts my day 2x a week. My other classes are a Writing class and a Math class. I'm going to have to restrain myself from completely reusing all my papers from last fall for my writing class, but I can neither confirm nor deny the fact that I am doing that for the first paper that is due. And math... I don't know how to gauge my excitement over this class. It's not that I don't enjoy math, after the second class and some homework I am actually beginning to like it, it helps that my professor makes class enjoyable and isn't a snobby math professor.
Yes it has been a good week. I think that a lot of the stress is because I got to Tuesday and all I wanted to do for the rest of the week was sleep. I have no idea why I was so tired all week, but I was. Maybe it was all the new transitions in my life in such a short amount of time, I don't know. I will admit I haven't been very productive today. I've been trying to get myself motivated to do something, anything, but all I've succeeded in doing after rolling out of bed is start a load of laundry.
Had the feeling a couple times this week that I am indeed a small fish in a much larger pond. It is one of those feelings that I have been feeling really mildly at the back of all the other feelings that are going on in my little heart, but it really came to light after my second day of school. So many of my fellow students had friends from past terms at school, people they were looking forward to seeing, there's a lot of people there guys!! But before I know it friendships will form. Looking forward to next week and all it has for me. There has been so much joy this week, so much so that I keep pinching my arm to make sure I'm not dreaming!
I am so in awe of who God works in our lives, yes there are moments when I would like to know right away what He has planned but I am always glad I waited for His timing in things. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend filled with wonderful things and great people.
