Rockin' Oxford

With a 21st birthday over, orientation over and a week of life in Oxford under my belt, I am finally feeling good. I am beginning to feel that I belong here. I know that God has sent me here, and I am excited to delve into just exactly why.

Here are a few things that I have learned recently:
-I like change, but I am one of those people that takes time to adjust.
-I love communication. When Skype does not work, I begin to have a temper. But seriously, I am a loyal person, so I like keeping up with everything in friend's and family's lives.
-I like being independent. It makes me feel cool, on my own and grown up (like when I walk back to my house at night in my warm clothes, rocking by myself to my ipod).
-I really enjoy experiencing new things. For instance, being a part of worship with a room full of students that I did not know, but who were really seeking after God was amazing. Seeing God in a new, fresh light and new venue is so refreshing.

This week I begin my reading-intense (eek!) lecture and tutorial regime. I am ready to let go of my worries and failings and dive in to the work.
In the words of some rock band (that was quoted on School of Rock):
"We roll tonight to the guitar bite, and for those about to rock, I salute you."
