I arrived at my new "home" at Covenant Seminary on Friday afternoon about 3:30. Thankfully, after leaving such dear friends in Lincoln, Kate and Lou (2 former NE roomies) were here to meet me. Talk about easy!
I was very excited to finally be in St. Louis, and the transition is now full upon me. I have met 2 of my 3 roommates and they are both great. However, it's still not easy. I feel like every interaction with new people takes extreme effort. I feel like I have been called to be courageous. It's a little bit lonely at times, and I have very little to occupy my time. I watched all of Season 3 of Gilmore Girls from Saturday to Monday. I'm still searching for a job. That's a bit stressful. I started reading "Far as the Curse is Found", since it is required reading for many of my classes. I have sought out Trader Joe's. I went to church Sunday at Crossroads PCA. I liked it. Eric and Elizabeth and Melynda formerly of Grace Chapel were there. That was good. I can't wait for classes to start, to have a full routine.
That's the update. I miss all of you in Lincoln more than I expected.
Guh. I/we miss you too, Brookos. So, so much. Already.
ReplyDeleteWent to Scooter's on my lunch hour today to journal and read. I ordered ice tea... because it wasn't fun to see someone I didn't know have to get up from their laptop at the surfboard table and raz them about how many dishes will be used to make a nonfat raspberry mocha with 3/4 the usual amount of mocha.
ReplyDeleteI think we posted simultaneously today.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record? You and Karen should post everyday. Really.
