Freshley. Wesley. Team United Redcoat Bible study. Watkinsville First Baptist Church. Band. Music Theory. Aural Skills. Piano. Brass Methods. Candy-giving Biology professor. Racquetball. Perspectives.
Wow... There's so much I've missed over the break, and some new stuff thrown in too. It's great to finally be back at UGA, with normally functioning schedules (not messed up by the snow—which wasn't a bad thing until it got boring). Freshley was awesome on Monday. TURBS was great last night. I got to go to the Wesley leadership worship and prayer before Wesley tonight, which was a great experience, and it made the full Wesley experience that much better. Even though almost everyone in the college Bible study at Watkinsville was on a retreat this past weekend, the study was awesome, as was the main sermon on missions.
I have all the same professors/TAs for Music Theory, Aural Skills, and Piano, which is a good thing because they were all great last semester. (At least, I thought so.) And this semester looks like it's going to be very similar to last year, only with new material.
My new classes, Brass Methods, Biology, and Racquetball, look promising this semester. Brass Methods, as Dr. Gausline said in class today, will probably be the most fun class I'm taking this semester. My Biology professor seems pretty good, and even though I could never really enjoy Biology in high school, my professor this year might actually be able to make it interesting. Plus, he gives out candy as a reward for participating/giving answers in class—always good motivation for college students. And racquetball... well, it's racquetball. I haven't played in five years, but it was fun back then, so why shouldn't it be now?
As far as being with friends goes, I think I missed Freshley and Team U the most because most of my Etowah and band friends (mostly Redcoats), who make up the majority of my friends here, are involved in one ministry or the other, or both in some cases.
As for Christian fellowship, obviously, Freshley and Team U are still on the list, with the addition of Watkinsville First Baptist. I would add Wesley, but I didn't really go often enough last semester—and there are just too many people—for me to have become close friends with anyone that doesn't also attend Freshley.
And now I have one more new thing this semester: Perspectives! To make a short story shorter, God blessed me with the money I didn't have, and now I'm able to attend the class! It was awesome last week, so I can't wait for the second class tomorrow night!
So... yeah. It's great to be back!
