In Christ Alone

WOW - day four no lie -- SUCKED. So I'm pretty spoiled that my first class of the day is at 9am right? So for one of our orientation lecture things we had to be in a classroom in Belk by 8am for the MAPP "Survey." RIGHT ... survey is what they called it - but no we had to be up at 8am for a TEST .. really?! An aptitude test .. didn't I take enough of those to get here to Erskine in the first place? Oh well, needless to say I was NOT happy about that at all.
Second meeting of the day (TWO HOURS LATER .. after the testing) we were suppose to have a meeting where we learned and heard from the technology guy - it was all about computers and all, well THANKFULLY something came up and he just talked for like 15 min instead of an hour and hit on the highlights of things and the basics for tech help. After that lovely, quick speech there was nothing else Amanda or I had to be at until 4pm.
At 4 there was a meeting/lecture on how to be successful academically.. happily it didn't last too long, but it was useful - I'll give it credit for that. Again, after that I was free.
I was suppose to go to a cookout for my focus group but it was hamburgers and hot dogs which I don't eat so I was invited and ended up going to the mexican restaurant right across from the main campus with a group of girls. I was sooo excited to eat and become FULL. I don't think I have truly been full after a meal since moving in. I hadn't realized how much I was missing out food wise. I mean some of that is my fault for being picky, but even if not there have been times where the food I am served has been cold, or I literally just can't stomach it. I am definitely missing out on any kind of homemade meal!!

So GREAT news - for me at least :o) Christopher called me tonight. It was perfect timing. I had planned with some of the girls from dinner we were going to have a movie night at 8pm, well Christopher called me at like ten after nine so I ended up missing a good portion of the movie, but I'll watch it another time .. I own it. It was super nice to hear his voice and know that he is doing okay. I hurt for him because he wants so bad to come home, he says he's tired of being over there and has felt burnt out for the past couple of weeks. His call got cut short because they moved up his flight time so he said he'd try to call later that night, tomorrow around lunch time for me. He mentioned he really just needed to talk to me - of course I think it's totally sweet, he's so good to me! So we'll see if he gets his call in - it is the military so I know any plans will most likely change in the blink of an eye, but he does so well making an effort for me! :o)

Well it's late, and almost "tomorrow" which is when I shall yet post again, this time with more to ponder as far as the discussions in my seminar class!
