newness

well, i’m sitting in my new apartment that i will be moving from in three weeks when we take over a three-bedroom model. i’m feeling this weird duality that i don’t know how to explain. on one hand everything feels very new and strange and i’m adjusting. (for those that don’t know, i just transferred to the univ. of arkansas.) on the other proverbial hand, i feel comfortable, adjusted and ripe. i’ve got some classes i’m pretty excited about, too. i’m taking an intro to philosophy class as part of the core requirements here. i’m also taking a junior-level english class on john milton that i’m taking just because i want to (and because i have hours to fill). of course i’ve got music composition and violin lessons, but i also get to be in the symphony orchestra, which is one of the biggest things i wished ouachita had. speaking of ouachita, i do miss it…well, not so much ouachita but the people i know there, and also the familiarity i had with the surroundings. this morning i just drove around for awhile to see what was there. we have a mall and a best buy and a barnes and noble and used bookstores and a movie theater. really quite a different atmosphere. i also met with the reformed university fellowship minister and found out when those meetings are and also where the local PCA church is located. that is very exciting to me…a church that i will actually lik e to attend is nearby. and then there’s the whole living in an apartment for the first time. i have to shop for groceries and plan meals and all this other stuff. pretty crazy. anyway, there’s your scattered and smothered and covered mixture of my thoughts and things.

how is everyone?

that question doesn’t make sense in a blog post. i’m out.
