The greatest adventure

August 30, 2005
Wow, things have been crazy here. With classes starting tomorrow, i'm really hoping to begin getting into an easier routine, and can quit worrying about having to sign up for this or test for that. After taking placement testing, it looks like I may end up in a slightly more difficult Spanish class, which makes me really nervous. I seriously am not sure how much I remember from High School,...

Move in was crazy

August 27, 2005
Woohoo! I'm finally here at EMU, and move in was crazy. We were all trying to get our stuff put in our rooms, get our computers running correctly, and trying to make new friends. I can't wait for Wednesday, for classes to start! My fellow students all seem really cool, although it will probably take me a while to learn anyones name. Well, i'm getting ready to head out to...

I shall persevere

August 24, 2005
Well, this is really it. I start college in two days, and I have discovered that it's possible to be both extatic and sorrowful at the same time. The more I think about what lies ahead, the more joy that floods my soul, and the more excited I become about whats going to happen to me. The more I think about what lies behind, the more sadness that I feel,... More »

These small moments

August 22, 2005
Ok, guess I really oughta give an update on what's happening. I drove up to EMU today and finally bought all my books, with my new credit card (scariest thing I have ever bought! The card, not the books...) Afterwards, I managed to get home in time to spend a few moments eating lunch together with her (my all time favorite meal of the day by the way!). This weekend... More »

I am going to college

August 19, 2005
Wow, its been a crazy week. After heading up to EMU, my breath was taken away by the sheer reality of it all. This is really happening, I am going to college! Never in my life have I been so excited, and yet so terrified, as I am about EMU. After handing over my AC unit to the maintenance person, we (my parents and I) toured around the campus. Checking...

Blasted fridge

August 17, 2005
Haha! We finally caught up with that blasted fridge, so now I just have to get some drinks and stuff to put inside of it, and I'll be all set! EMU is calling my name, and tommorrow I get to pay them a visit to install my AC unit into my room. Can't wait to see what my room looks like, and hopefully go ahead and purchase some of my...

Waiting for something good

August 16, 2005
Time moves so slowly when your waiting for something good, and now I know EMU must be great because it seems that time is standing still these last few weeks! I am heading out to the store tonight with my parents, hopefully to buy a fridge for my room as well as a few other odds and ends that I may need. I truly cannot wait for college to start,... More »

Seems like a roller coaster

August 14, 2005
Well, it finally happend. My parents have decided to get a puppy to replace me when I leave for EMU. Well ok, not really, but they are getting a new puppy before I take off for college. Which is cool and all, but it does seem unfair since I'll probably barely get to see him while I'm at college. Right now we're trying to get my other dog ready for... More »

Finding a church

August 13, 2005
Well, its another day and I'm pumped to get stuff together for my trip up to EMU. Working with my parents, we've managed to compile a list of all the things I need to get, as well as the things I already have. One of the things I've been wondering about when I go to EMU, is what church I'm going to attend once I get up there. I am... More »

So many uncertanties

August 12, 2005
Man, I can't believe how little time I have before starting EMU! It seemed like the summer would last forever, but here I am packing stuff for my dorm room. God, I am probably the most nervous about starting at a new place as I've ever been. When I was in high school, during my junior year, I began college shopping; praying constantly for God to show me where he... More »

Kung Fu movie conneusier

August 11, 2005
Uh oh... I knew I should've taken the blue pill... Now its the end of summer and I have to start a new life! Well, at least i'm not far from home, Waynesboro to Harrisonburg isn't a very long drive. Since this is my first post, I guess I should start by introducing myself. My name is Dale, Kung Fu movie conneusier and lover of all things caffenated. My hobbies... More »
