Hello All!
Welcome to my blog. Trisha has had so much success with Caden's blog, I thought why not give it a shot. I figured that this will be a great way of keeping family and friends updated with my life here in Bellingham.
So, to recap what is going on in my life:
-Moved back up to Bellingham for school. I am now living in a house with 5 great girls- Mary, Kelsy, Liz, Brittany, and Trinh. Our house has been great so far. I am only about an additional 2 minute walk from my dorm last year so campus is just down the alley about a block, and up the hill. Downtown is also walking distance on a sunny day. The location of our house is also close to the First Presbyterian Church where the INN meets on Tuesday nights, so we have a nice, short (and safe) walk as a group.
-As many of you know, I am actively involved with the INN here at Western. Tuesday nights are just a fun time for us college kids in the Bellingham area to come together and discuss faith, community, and local service. This year, I am actually a student leader for a host team, and the local service team. Tuesday night was my first night with my assigned host team. Luckily, I am partnered with a senior Sarah- who is teaching me the ropes of being a host team leader. So far it seems like a great group of people, and we had fun handing out fliers and greeting students as they arrived. As I mentioned, I am also on the local service team. So far, aside from our brainstorming at the SHOP retreat (the student leader retreat for the INN- no one knows what it stands for, but a few of us were joking that it stood for Students Helping Other People) we haven't actually had a service event yet, but I am getting excited for the potential opportunities for the INN students to serve both at a local level, and a more statewide/global level.
-And now, classes. That school thing that brought me up here to Bellingham. I am taking Chemistry 101, Geology 214, Music 105 and Psychology 210. The first three are classes that I need to take as part of the general university requirements to graduate, and the psych class counts towards the psych minor I have almost completed. Needless to say, classes are slightly boring but manageable.
Exciting news of the day: My application was accepted into the Human Services program for winter quarter! This means, pending the results of my Washington State Patrol background-check results (wish me luck everyone :P ) I can start the program winter quarter! Finally!
Well, that is all for now. I will leave you with a random picture of my house that was taken last spring:
