And so it begins!

After over a year of waiting and hoping, I've finally made it to orientation! Today is my first full day on campus, and so far things have gone pretty well. Although, since things don't seem to really get started until tomorrow, most of us are just wandering around thinking that we ought to be doing something productive...we just can't figure out what. Especially since we know that in less than 24 hours we will be overwhelmed with everything that we will have to get done (or at least that's what I've been told).
So, even though I've technically started my journey, I guess I still have to wait a bit for the real thing to start. But here's what I do know...I'm extremely excited about having my own room!!!

My fuzzy friend even got his own bed!

Yes, this room may seem a bit bare, but I prefer tranquil...

South to North Carolina

Yes, I'm behind, but better late than never I always say. A couple weekends ago I took a trip to visit a friend from Liberty University who lives in Boone, NC. She's actually the one that told me about the missions program that I will be training for in about a week. Thank goodness for old friends! So, since I'm not much of a writer, here's some pics from my travel journal about my trip...
(warning, these pictures didn't turn out so well...resist squinting, it's not your vision)

I think Boone is very very cute...but there are a lot of trees...
