Ok. Look. It's been over a month since I've decided to pop back up into the electronic world. To have had a full month of complete nothingness, the past ten days or so have been full of enough activity to fulfill those four completely void weeks.

Update on the life of me: I'm an RA in a freshman boy's dorm, I'm now taking my first official major classes (though I have yet to declare JMC, yet), and I forgot how beyond blessed I am to be going to Samford and to have the amazing friends that I have in my life. End of my sentimental moment.

The RA job is so incredible. I have some amazing guys on my hall, though it has taken a slight bit of time to find that out. My first hall meeting was...interesting to say the least. Though I had already met a couple of them and was expecting some two-way interaction between them all, the room was deathly silent. Noticing that I was on a quickly sinking ship called Failure to Communicate, I choked, and had to have another RA save my butt from looking like a complete fool. Luckily, I came out only looking like 90% of an idiot. Since then, though, things have picked up and I have actually established some relationships so hurray, right? Seriously, I have some awesome guys, and it's gonna be a good year, I hope.

My classes are going incredibly awesome. Honestly, I have to say that this is the first semester where I'm actually excited about getting up and going to class. Weird, yes. However, everything that I am taking now is exciting and fun to learn about. Don't judge me.

Again, a shout out to my friends. If you are reading this, then seriously I thank God for you every day. I can't believe that I've been blessed with all of the people that are in my life. Even those that will ultimately play a fairly minor role in my time here on earth are incredibly special to me, and I could not be more thankful for you.

This week has been fairly hectic. Step Sing has taken over my life, which isn't a problem by any means, but it is quite exhausting. I thought that my first few weeks as an RA would go well, which it has, but last night one of my residents called me about midnight saying his ceiling was leaking. Minor understatement. His entire ceiling was filled with water to the point to where it was sagging and ready to drop out at any moment. (Given, this is all completely my unprofessional opinion.) Maintenance finally arrived around 1:30 or so, and said that they could not work on it until today, so maybe they'll get to it. I hope he hasn't drowned in his leaky room yet...

I think this will be the extent of my life that I'll open up to you, Dear Reader, for now. Take care. Love you all.
