hi everybody! so we had our first day of classes and im a little nervous... first was old testament with dr willis and im excited about that one. we meet twice a week and have alot of group work, we have a group each week that does a devo and a group that does creative presentations about the theme we are studying that week. its so cute, he sends someone down half way through class to retrieve a platter of cookies from mrs willis down in their flat in the "dungeon" : ) then right after that we had oxford through the ages with dr morgan. i really like him, hes very funny and i like his voice lol that sounds so weird. anyways but im nervous about that class because we have to write a few papers and he said he enjoys ripping peoples writing apart in front of the class... i think he was joking... hopefully!!! : / then that class ended at noon and i went straight upstairs and fell asleep, one of my favorite things to do : ) ...and i slept until 4pm, which is when my christian worship class started with mrs morgan. we had class in the backyard because it was such a pretty day. that class intimidates me too... we are going to have to lead worship on sunday nights for the whole group. i have never done anything like that ever, i dont even like to pray aloud!! well stretching is good right? we will see how all that goes... plus we have to write a huge paper on the nature and style of worship... anyways then we had a tea and cookies break about half way through. it was so much fun! then after that a bunch of us went out to eat to celebrate denyce's birthday. we ended up at this little place called fish! and me and sarah split a pepperoni pizza. we all ate at this little place that was covered in trees, it kinda looked like a deck but it was near the river. we had fun singing songs from musicals lol then we headed back to the house and made plans for a dance party but sitting here in the lab, everyone has decided to move it to tomorrow night. so now im just talking to westley my friend from middle school that i havent seen in five years and carino : ) i miss everyone so so much!! i keep thinking that i will be back in the states in a few weeks and i definitely wont be!!! its so sad!!!!! but i am having a blast!!!!!!!!!! europe, well england is amazing!!!!!! i need to start planning all my trips soon so that i can get cheap airfare but im so lazy, i dont want to plan i just want to go! lol but i think im going to go to italy, spain, austria, belgium and ireland. and then we are going to france as a group in september. but i really need to get my act together because my dad is trying to get my mom to come visit me for a while so i need to know where we are going lol ok i will have to finish this post later bc i am talking to lisa whos in the lab also about slapping butts(an inside joke) and i am laughing too hard!!! : ) ~jen
