Quickie Update...

So I've officially been through one week of classes, and rather than working on the horrendous amounts of reading I should be doing or being out on a Friday night with friends, I'm failing miserably at focusing and getting necessary things done.  In that vein, I though I might post an update about what the last week has brought for me.  Here goes:

• My best friend has been posting pictures on Facebook of her semester so far in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  I am incredibly jealous.  
• Class 1: Poverty and Culture - My professor is really strange and eccentric.  But I like him.  The class seems like it's going to have an interesting combination of intellectual and emotional facets, and I'm excited.  
• I'm happy to be back at my church (who ever thought I'd say that?!).  :)  
• I'm getting baptized in February.  Get excited!!! (I am.)
• Class 2:  Human Geography - I met a girl who went to Highland Ranch HS in that class (fun and weird), and the class is going to be easy (I think) but interesting nonetheless
• I GOT MY VIBRAM 5 FINGERS IN THE MAIL AND I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!! Seriously though, maybe the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.  EVER.  
• Class 3: Art History - Again, I've essentially already taken an Art History class (thanks to Schuster), so it should be easy but fun!! I love art!
• Class 4: Philosophy - This class is going to kick my ass.  Hardcore.  Like imagine me being figuratively an olympic weightlifter after this, only instead of with weights with reading and writing and discussing moral philosophy.  It might kill me.  But if it doesn't, it's gonna be awesome!  And incredibly challenging.  
• I'm excited about not having to go to school on Monday.
• I'm a little overwhelmed by trying to plan for summer
• Westboro Baptist Church protested at AU today - I slept.  ;) oops.
• Class 5: Voice - I am so intimidated.  That is all.  
• Class 6: Martial Arts.  I have a bruise the size of an apple on my thigh, and the entire front of my rib cage/abdomen is bruised.  And my ankle is screwed up.  But man, it is good to be back.  :) 
• I am failing miserably at my decisions to try to be more disciplined.  
• Class 7:  Islam - Should be interesting.  I've only had the class once, so it's hard to say, but I'm excited.

 And the final bomb...........................

• I think (not a finalized decision yet, but I think...) I am going to try being vegan for Lent.  (Oh dear Lord, what have I gotten myself into!??!)

That is all.  :)
