Its been awhile...

And maybe thats because I have not known what to say. I got moved in, unpacked (mostly) and I am pretty settled into my life here. Is it home yet? I'm not sure...

I like class. a lot. I'm a nerd, no denying that. I LOVE my church... that for sure feels like home to me. I feel very welcome there and I get really excited when Sunday FINALLY rolls around and I get to go back (yes, I really do have THAT FEW friends in this state).

As far as Athens in general... I don't think I am content at all. This has a lot to do with the lack of friends. Yes, I have the people in my class, and yes I would consider several of them to be good friends already. But I see them all day for 4 days out of the week... it would be nice to have some other options for people to do things with the rest of the time, mix it up a little. Athens is also SOOO incredibly different than Waco, despite the extremely similar demographics. The psycographic (or is it sociographic??) makeup is totally different. I am still getting used to not planning school meetings around church haha... call me the naive small town kid, I miss having a school where nobody would be upset if you said that time was bad for meeting because it was when you were going to church. I also miss having a JOB!!! Never thought I would say THAT! But it really is weird having no income and knowing all of your bills and everything have to come out of loans...

I know there is a lesson in all of this... or 10. I'm sure one would be "being content with your circumstances" and another would be TRUST. We shall see how this summer continues to unfold...
