no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

I'm sitting in my room (which has been newly rearranged), on my futon, looking out my window. The clock is literally chiming eleven as I type this, the sun is almost at its peak, the church steeple is in full view, the wind is rustling through the trees...I'm in love with this day.

It's now February! First semester officially began yesterday--today is my second day of new classes, which I am not ashamed to say I am so excited about! Yesterday went pretty smoothly. I had one class at 10:30; it lasted until 12:10, and I had a break until 5:30! My early class was my honors seminar, Intellectual History, which I think is going to be pretty great. It's going to be tough, I can tell, but definitely worth my while. My professor had us try to envision the moment when man first developed the idea that we all have a right to make our own decisions and choose our paths in life. To think of a time when this wasn't seen as truth, and to then try and imagine what it must have felt like to realize that life could be so...different, so much more your own...it's baffling. I think I'll like this class. I had health at 5:30, which I thought was going to be boring, but my professor is great. She's funny and let us out way early, which was nice, seeing as I normally eat between the hours of 5:30 and 7:10...I was slightly concerned about my stomach (of course).

I had my first literature class this morning!! It was British Lit I, and my professor is actually my academic advisor. I haven't met her yet personally, but I think she's going to be a great professor. The class might actually be interesting compared to the Brit Lit I took in high school...anyway, I have Camerata at 12:15 and then Chorale directly after that at 1:40 (basically three hours of singing--can't wait!) and then Educational Psych later this afternoon! I'm really looking forward to that class because (I think) it will legitimately pertain to what I want to do in life, which is exciting for me.

TM starts again on Thursday! I don't even think I realize how excited I am about that...I might not until I get there, but I can't wait to see everybody and to sing with them again and to take off my shoes and....it's going to be amazing! I also start my job with SPARKS soon! Our first meeting is Monday, so I'll keep you posted about that.

Emotionally I think I'm doing pretty well, actually. Again, there are some amazing people in my life right now that I cannot be more thankful for! It was so great seeing Mom over Fake Break and catching up, especially since I won't be back until late April. I'm glad she was able to visit for the few days that she did--I hope I didn't bore her too much, as there isn't really anything to do in Elon, especially over break!

These past few weeks have been full of truly wonderful things and people--I am so blessed and cannot even begin to be thankful enough for everything. Even better--I can't wait for the future and for what's to come! If it's anything like this past month...let's just say that I'll just keep getting happier and even more disgustingly mushy in these posts.

You know you love it :)
