han, burt, and david

a week has flown by since i returned home from orientation.
i wonder what happened to me during those three long days.
at first, i was excited. forty miles away from anyone that i knew.
an exciting kind of loneliness. but then, it got hot. really hot.
a person like me is not one for complaining, with the exception
of heat. i can get really cranky when it's hot and probably seem
even more condescending than i normally seem to those around me.
but aside from the heat, there was a tremendous amount of walking!
half of the orientation was walking. literally, they made us walk
all the way across the campus just to dismiss us. usually, i don't
mind walking as long as there is someone to talk to, but my
crankiness from the heat must have left a bad first impression
on my orientation group (barely anyone talked to me). well,
i can't help being an introvert, so...anyways, the food was not bad.
not healthy either (i ate a cheeseburger everyday), but i've never
been much of a picky eater. hopefully, my stomach will tell
my mouth and hands to choose a few salads here and there.
and my legs will bring me to the gym at least once a week.
i must say though, my school chose to serve my favorite food
(alfredo pasta) on the first night- that pretty much sealed the deal.
now, what about the Christian fellowships? meet any Christians?
yes, in fact, my roommate was a Christian hoping to major in music
to write worship songs in the future. we actually talked about
our churches back home and he told me about his struggle with
cussing and falling into peer pressure. of course, by the time
we got to know each other, orientation was over, but fall is not
that far away. as for 'fellowships', i approached four of them:
Christian students, destino, chi alpha, and cru. not thinking
about joining any of them. it's times like these when being a skeptic
is a really good thing- never can be too careful when it comes
to cults nor alert when it comes to bad theology. well, i'm not too
worried about finding a good fellowship out there. a good
church is more of what i'm concerned about.
