I'm starting to fall into more of a rhythm though I still have a lot of adjusting to do left. I'm getting a feel for my classes and worked this weekend to get into the grove and not be overloaded by my studies. Its a lot more reading and not as much studying (which I kind of expected) but it still takes a lot of adjusting to a new way of school work. Though I really like my biology book. I know it sounds strange and maybe its because I read the chapters after we talk about the subject in class. My teacher is really good at explaining things in a way we understand. Right now we are just pretty much reviewing what I learned in bio freshman year of high school however she has explained things in a way that I understand things on a whole new level, which is impressive because were now basically done reviewing everything I learned in my whole freshman year. haha. Anyways the point is that I'm leaning new study techniques and for my bio class reading the chapter after the lecture is really good because I understand what I am reading the first time and makes reading go faster. My English class is pretty fun too. We have not done a whole lot yet, because my teacher is ADHS (serious) and hilarious! Classes have been really fun and funny and I have a pretty good idea what she expects from us. My horse care practicum class is getting a little better. Its still a little stressful but I'm getting faster at cleaning stalls to LEC standards. It really exausting with all the manual work, so I get fairly fatigued. But it will make me stronger so thats good for sure. Right now its a little hard, but every once and a while I get time for a nap here or there and that does help me out a bit. Once teams and open rides and other clubs get going it might get a bit trickier.

Which leads me to ANNEX. ANNEX is a christian club run by the students. There's worship and a discussion time and a email prayer chain thing. I feel a lot better about Gods plan for me here knowing that support is there. I'm a little concerned about the time and times of another book study during the week as it is late and I have such early classes, but im hoping after this semester it will be easier with not as early classes. So as i breifly mentioned there is a book study starting next week, which will be good it sounds like. And there is a retreat in the fall that would be fun.

Overall, im doing pretty well. I get pretty homesick at times. I am going home this weekend for Laurens wedding which will be awesome. I'm ready to see family and friends and MY HORSE. Being around other horses makes me miss her a lot and I'm feeling jumping deprived (I've jumped 3 fences since we left for the road trip here a month ago). Feel free to leave a comment or send me an email(jules_loves_horses@yahoo.com. I'd love to hear from you guys!
