My First Blog Post

First Blog Post

        My mom and I had no problems arriving at Fairbanks, Alaska.  We bought what remained of my needs at Walmart and Fred-Myers before sharing goodbyes. After a good but a little lengthy orientation, I started my classes Friday.  There was a mandatory floor meeting during which I heard a series anecdotes accompanying rules to abide by meant to provide humor and warning.  However, hearing what has and would be done here caused me to realize that I now live in a world quite different than ever before. 

       Technically, I had a class Thursday, but after visiting it and reviewing the syllabus, I decided to take an easier load for now.  Currently, I have Linguistics, Spanish, Communications, Probability, and Honors Capstone Development.  It seems a lot more manageable now.  

        I found a bible study club that I plan on attending on Thursdays that I heard about during a kick-off meeting for all the christian groups.

        Below is a picture of the landscape not far from my dorm.  It's foggy, as it has generally been in the mornings before the noon sun diminishes it.

                                     My typical lunch:  Iceberg lettuce salad and a glass of water.

This prison-like establishment called the Ernest-Gruening Building is where all of my classes are, save my Honors class.

     I haven't yet truly started my classes so I couldn't say how they're going, but I'm sure they'll stay workable and bearable.  Also, I'm hoping as the semester progresses I could make friends, especially ones who are christian, but also that I could find a church that is within reach and matches my needs.
