A Weekend of Fun!

On Friday the school organized outings to the city and so I signed up for bowling. It was so much fun and I got to talk to a lot of people who I didn't know super well yet. Afterward we went out for milkshakes. So good! On Sunday I went to the local MC church and I really liked the pastor. His sermon was very thought provoking. Classes are going well but there is a lot of reading. In typical Jessica fashion and I worked hard and am ahead of all my classmates, which means more free time (yay!) Yesterday they had a coffee house in the evening with live music and it was another great chance to meet people. I think my favourite part so far has been the selahs (aka Chapels). Everyone is so friendly here and I am having a blast living in dorm! However, I still miss everyone back home and can't wait to see you all at Christmas. Well, I think that is all the updates I can think of for now. Have an awesome week everyone!

Welcome to Bethany

Wow! I can't believe that I am finally at College! It feels so weird but good at the same time. My roommate is a girl named Katie and she is awesome. Yesterday was first year registration and let me tell you, it was CRAZY! I was happy that I got into all the classes that I wanted. This semester I am taking Intro to the Bible, Intro to Biblical Interpretation, Spiritual Formation, Theater Arts, Choir and Marriage and Family Studies. We've had two chapels already, which have been amazing and I am looking forward to many more. Mostly it has been cold and rainy here. Summer has come and gone :( I had my first class today and it was a little overwhelming but I think it will be a good semester. Mostly I've hung out with my roommate Katie and another girl I met (who happens to be my second cousin) Carley. They are really nice. I already have a library reading assignment due for next week (yuck) but I am already almost done it. Choir starts next Tuesday and I am so excited! Missing everyone back home. Wishing you all the best as you all go back to school!
