So, I worked on this long post in which I posted pictures and summaries of all my textbooks for this semester but my formatting did NOT come out correctly, so I gave up.
Anyways, this semester, I’m taking:
Public Speaking
Beginning Spanish
Political Campaign Communication
History of Germany from 1870 to Present
History of Women in the Western World, 1700 to Present
So, that sounds pretty good!
I think I’m going to have the opportunity to write some interesting papers. For instance?
“Women’s Political History in North Carolina since 1960.”
Doesn’t that sound fun??
I’m excited!

Hi.
I doubt anyone’s still reading this, I’ve been so terrible at keeping updated! Things have been a little stressful at Casa de Sassy these days. The new students are moved in, the old students have returned, classes have started, and things are slowly but surely getting into full swing.
There’s a lot going on in my life. I have SGA, being an RA, classes, those pesky personal relationships, and I can’t pin down much, but I can say one thing for sure: this isn’t going to be an easy semester.
God has plans for me. It’s not clear to me right now what they are, but He is stretching me, pushing me, asking something of me. Quite frankly, it’s making me want to stomp my foot and pout. I have so far to go in my personal relationship with God, and I have so much work to do, and He keeps prodding me along, sometimes gently, sometimes with big smacks upside the head. It’s more than a little stressful, more than a little frightening. I find myself wondering where to go, what to do, even who I am. I question what I choose to devote my energies to, wondering if it’s what God wants or more selfishly, what I want.
I wish that I could sit here and say “Oh, I love Jesus and God and it’s so easy and wonderful!” But I can’t. Because it’s not. I’m filled with doubt, I’m filled with longing, I’m filled with questions, and worst of all, I’m filled with fear.
Fear of silence.
Fear of questions.
Fear of not knowing.
Fear of knowing.
Fear of failing God.
Mercy.

no time for a real post.
instead, a moment of reflection on my southern-ness.
“Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It’s more than where you’re born, it’s an idea and a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It’s more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, football, beer, and country music. It’s being hospitable, devoted to front porches, magnolias, red velvet cake, Coca-Cola,… and each other. We don’t become Southern, we’re born that way.”
love.

I’m back at school.
Moving is AWFUL, let me tell you. I mean, TERRIBLE.
I’m sooooo tired of being a transient. It doesn’t help that I lug about 200 books with me everywhere I go, therefore opening me up to mockery from those around me and major back pain. (When I say everywhere I go, I mean, everytime I move.) My room in the good ol’ dorm is fabulous. God bless being an RA and having a big double room as a single. It’s pretty sweet, I tell you. However, I can say that the local library’s book sale is coming in a couple of months and I have no idea where I’ll get the 100+ books I’ll buy there. Hmm.
I start RA training on Wednesday. It hasn’t started yet and I’m already exhausted.
Help!
I miss all my bloggy friends when I’m not posting a lot. I do check up on you, I swear.
Soon? A list of all the school supplies I’m excited about. Can you bear the excitement?
