First quote to think about:
"A man's reach should exceed his grasp..."
-Robert Browning
So far today I've attended my first church service at EMU, eaten Ethiopian food, said good-by to my parents, played a game of giant dutch blitz, a game of uno (I won!), visited my transition teacher's house, felt overwhelmed by the amount of people surrounding me, and crashed back in my dorm. There are still ... 3 hours of planned activites left? Yikes.
And so it begins - first assignment, first (admittedly small) crisis, first questions...first moment of deep thinking.
A man's reach should exceed his grasp. Well. I guess I'm doing what I ought to be, then.

First Day at EMU!!! :D
Hey everyone...
I thought rather than send out emails all the time, I would start a blog so I could keep record of the stuff that happens here. I will probably still send emails occasionally, but I like the idea of blogging better.
So. Today I moved all my stuff out of our van into the third floor of Maplewood. Maplewood doesn't have air conditioning, so you can imagine how we felt by lunchtime. :) Then I went to the Honors Reception, where I decided that the Ruling Ideas seminar is going to rock, even if it is at 8:00 in the morning.
I met my roommate, who is awesome. Thia is from Colorado and likes a lot of the same things I do, including having a deep passion for Jars of Clay. With music tastes like that, you know we'll get along!
I am excited to move past the cheesy "get to know you" games played in orienation and begin classes...which start for me at 8:00 on Tuesday.
Tomorrow my parents and Rinn are going out to eat, probably at the Blue Nile. I'll post again on Tuesday evening and let you guys know how my first REAL day goes.
