well recruitment is over and God definitely answered prayers. we have an awesome pledge class, one of the biggest on campus! (61 girls!) I also received a personal blessing...a girl named Brigitte. She is a SOLID Christian girl whose main purpose in going through recruitment was to minister to the Greek system. I am SO EXCITED about her being my future sister, once she is initiated. God is going to do a mighty work here. I can't wait to see what He has planned. :) I also realized one thing these past two weeks. Rush isn't as easy as it looks. Some might question the 'intensity' that could be involved with rush...but believe me, as a girl just coming out of practicing for this thing, it was not easy. We definitely used every spare hour in the day to practice. and for those of you who think you are a people-person. think again. try being around girls for two weeks. yeah that really increases your patience level and causes you to become a loner in your free time quickly. don't get me wrong, it was a great sisterhood bonding experience and i'm glad i went through it, its just one of those instances where i'm happy that it only happens once a year.

Today i did a very exciting thing. Now it may not seem that big to many, but to me it was. I used the FSU bus system. yay! The reason this is such an accomplishment is because i normally do first time things with other people...because i'm the type of person who likes having others around me who sort of reassure me that i'm doing the right thing. yes i know its probably a bad part of my personality or some sort of lack of confidence thing. but anyways...i did it all by myself and it was great. now i am going to definitely use the buses for my wednesday schedule. i have an 8:00 class on the opposite side of where i sleep. so knowing that i can just fall out of bed and ride a bus to class is a great thing. :) And now after this wonderful bus experience...I definitely feel more in tune with the mass population of students at Florida State. hahaha. that sounds so ridiculous! oh well! i'm a werido.

So far school has been fine. One thing i noticed though, was that I have muchos amounts of strange teachers in my schedule...i don't know whether that means that i just happened to get into the weird teacher classes...or that the major i picked (Education department) is just full of strange teachers. In which case, if the latter is true...than I better get used to them because i'll be with them for the next two years. But anyways...i like my classes for the most part and am looking forward to learning the material...except for one computer class i have which is going to be VERY boring...this is partly due to the fact that the class is 2 hrs. and 45 minutes long! ugh. and my teacher is one of the strangest men i have met yet...another being my astronomy teacher from last year. but i won't go into that. all i can say is that we (the 4) called him Pinky. i shall have to come up with a nickname for this new strange one...hmm. it will probably require a lot of thought. to give you an idea of how strange he is...he kept using the words "ain't," "studenting," (ex: 'which is more important to you, your studenting or your job?') and "over yonder." (ex: 'you can go visit the desk over yonder.') yeah...its definitely going to be an interesting semester.
