Alright, so when our dance program here in NC started we were encouraged by our directors to journal and I am not a (hand) writer what-so-ever, so I realized a couple of days ago I should start a blog because I would do that so much more than a regular journal and that way my close friends and family can keep up with me while I'm away this year. So! Here is my first entry. :)

I am absolutely loving college life. I wasn't sure if it was cut out for me or not, but I really do love it. :) Even though I don't enjoy the homework part so much, I really love learning. We have about 8 dance and 4 bible classes a week. It's a lot, but it's definitely worth it. There's 6 of us that are on our Glory Dance Team and all from out of town, but most of our classes have others in them as well. We have been working on a hip hop dance for the last 10 weeks and we are performing it for the first time next weekend and we could not be more ready! We are so excited to see how God is going to use us to minister to those in the audience both Sat., and Sun. The 6 of us have really become like a family here and also with others that aren't even on our team. The more we're here the more we realize how God has strategically placed each of us here for different reasons and to truly encourage and pray for eachother on a daily basis. We are all SO unique with very very VERY different personalities and temperments, but we are truly united as a team and want to grow as much as we possibily can throughout this whole experience this year.

I have 1 roommate, Ashley, and she has become one of my best friends. She is 23 and so grounded in who she is in the Lord and a great encouragement to me. We make eachother laugh constantly and it keeps our spirits up when we might be getting homesick or overwelmed with school/work. I love her to death! :)

Oh, and I made it through midterms with A's (so far...we have yet to get some results), but I was pretty excited about that!

That's all for now!
