So this is my life, and I am adjusting.

The winter snow hasn't set in and I have mixed feelings about it. I am ready to live in a snow globe, but I am not ready to drive in it haha. The drive from home to school is about 50 minutes and easy... for now. I just have this uneasy feeling and fear that I am going to be a horrible driver when those beautiful white fluffy things start falling from the sky and then my perfect driving record will be shot. Another thing that goes alone with driving here is the pedestrians. They are everywhere! They are walking across the street unnoticed at night in dark clothing, they are jogging around on every street and street corner. My car and their body, better never collide.

As part of this living on your own and growing up thing goes, I have found I am a horrible grocery shopper. I did some food buying today and ended up with nothing healthy except for two pears. My daily diet is consisting of fruit snacks, frozen dino chickens, chewy chips ahoy cookies and toast. Man, do I love my toast with the Grandma Sycamores bread here. And food costs money, and money comes from a job... that I don't have yet. There are some things that look promising coming along the way though, so praying for that :)

What I really love about this place is the faith and morals that most people living here have. These two things drive people to be better and to want to make something of themselves. The value of education is high. The desire to live in righteousness is great. The example that I receive here and can follow is extraordinary and something I would not get at home. It is something that I need. I am so excited for this journey :)
