School is going great! I really like it here. My classes dont start until 10 or 11 so I get to sleep in (although I almost missed my 10am class this morning!) I'm taking Sociology, PE, Chemistry, Intro to University Life, and Public Speaking. I think I will do pretty well in these classes, I'm hoping so at least! I need around a 3.8 GPA to get into the MSU nursing school. Next semester and the following 2 semesters I am dropping my hours down to 12 so I can concentrate better. I came in with 13 credit hours so I don't really need to take a lot of extra classes.

I've found a couple pretty good coffee shops here, The Mudhouse and The Potter's House. It's so much different then Cabool, always somewhere to go and something to do. I haven't tried too many local restaurants but I think MSU hosts an event called "Sample Springfield" where local restaurants bring free samples, so I'm pretty excited for that.

I've been going to the Wednesday night service with Second Baptist in Springfield. Daniel Hood is the minister and he does a great job and the band is awesome. It's a nice change for me. I'm actually excited about going to church for once. I even signed up for small group bible study which meets on Monday nights.

Eric and I are still together and I go home every weekend to see him and he usually tries to make a trip up here on his bike during the week if he can.

Next week I begin the process of changing rooms, not because my roommate and I don't get along, but my best friend Melanie and I are going to move in together. I'm pretty excited for that.

Well, that's my life currently!
