Here I am...

So I am finally at Belhaven! And it's been fun so far - at first it was difficult - not knowing anyone, Elisabeth never around, and wondering how this was going to all pan out. Then my parents left on Sunday, and I thought that would be awful. It was hard, and I felt very alone as I walked back to my room, struggling to keep my emotions in check. I sat on my bed and really battled between feeling sorry for myself or trusting God. I think God won out - I worked at organizing my room to keep my mind off it, and then I decided to visit some girls in my dorm. That was a great afternoon. I met so many sweet people and had some great conversations, and I was so blessed even in that short time frame between saying goodbye and dinnertime. Since then it has been great. I am getting acclamated and meeting new people everyday...
however, today really has been a test and I am afraid I haven't had the best attitude - I had a horrible experience registering for classes and becuase I had to wait so long, (several hours) all of the convenient classes were closed so I have to take night classes. Which is awful. three of those babies do not fill one with joyful anticipation for the semester. I know my attitude was not the best when all is said and done...and that is very humbling.
But it is turning into a great experience and I look forward to the people I will meet and the relationships I will develop. Thank you for your prayers! I miss everyone back home very much.
