Back to school

Today was my first day of school since June of 2005. My first class was Pentateuch and I was on the waiting list hoping that a few people would drop the course. It was a surreal experience being back in the classroom, but I really enjoyed it. 

 

On another note Melody and I are still adjusting to our new surroundings. Our new place here in Pasadena is much smaller than our place in Portland and we are always bumping into things. The doorways are smaller than normal and  I find myself running into them. It will take some time to adjust, but we still love our hamster cage. I have an office (closet) to study in so that makes me happy. It doesn't have any windows, but sensory deprivation is an important part of my study habits.

First Post

Yesterday was orientation at FTS. It is always a strange feeling to go through any orientation. I have been through many in my time as a student and they never get less awkward. It was nice to meet some other new students especially since it hasn't really been a warm welcome so far. I knew it was going to be hard starting in the Spring term, but it has really been a struggle to even get anyone to talk to me. Melody and I always smile at people, but they seem to thing we are crazy or something. We found a really great church though and we are excited to learn more about their different ministries. I know that God has called me to this place, but it doesn't always feel that way. I start school on Monday and I am excited to start but also sad to say goodbye to my free time.
