First week of school - check

Hello!

Well, it's been a busy two weeks again.

I spent my last week at home helping out with stuff around the house, getting ready for school, and catching up on some sleep. Sarah came home for my last weekend, so I got to see her for about a day, which was shorter than I liked, but it was good to get to see her.

Sunday morning I headed out for Alabama, arriving there Sunday mid-late afternoon, and spending the rest of the day with Tim, Beth, Annette, Becky, and Mrs. Hewitt. I was planning on heading out first thing in the morning on Monday, but interstates were closed, then deemed impassible, for several hours due to the snow storm that came through. Eventually at 3:00 Monday afternoon, I decided that impassible in Alabama might not mean truly impassable, and that I could turn around if I had to. So, since nothing else was closed at that point, I headed out. I found that there were definitely some places that needed to be taken slowly, but the roads were far from impassable, IF you know how to drive in a little bit of snow. So, the normally 9.5 hour drive took 10.5 hours, and I arrived on campus at 1:30 Tuesday morning. I got to bed at 2:00, and was awake at 6:00, with lab at the airport at 8:15.

The first days of classes were average for first days of classes - figuring out "okay, this class will be more interesting than expected, this one will be less," stuff like that, but all-in-all, pretty good.

One of the things that I love about the spring semester is that we start off with two four-day weeks, with not starting classes until Tuesday, then having the day off for MLK day.

As always, I'd love to hear how you're doing and how I can pray for you, so please, feel free to send me an email or give me a call.
