Although this week has been extremely busy, it has been the best week so far. I can't even seem to concentrate on anything, so writing this blog is impossible at the moment with my scattered brain. Just a little recap on last week and the week to come. Rush. As amazing as it is, it does take up some time, but I'm really excited about it. Test and essays. Two words I hate, but hear on a daily basis. And my past. There is a certain someone that I'm not with anymore, but tends to keep showing back up in my life and adding to one more thing on my list I have to deal with.
Back to rush. I love all the tribes. It is probably going to be a really hard decision on pref day. The rush skits were hilarious and so much fun. I loved dressing up and getting ready for them. The only thing was, lots of people said that you will see the true personalities of each tribe and I really did not get that. I mean I kind of know which one I want, but I just did not get it out of the skits.
Test and essays. Today alone I have to write two essays (one in French) and study for this huge test tomorrow, and we do not even have a book in that class. I feel pretty confident with the French essay, English is another story. And this history test I'm suppose to take tomorrow makes me laugh, because I really can't see how I'm suppose to pass it.
I hope next week calms down a bit and is just as much fun as this past week. MC is getting so much better as the days go on. I love the decision I made to come here. It's amazing.

New Things
This week I have experienced some pretty amazing things. New people, new places, and a new me. I have realized that I'm not quite the same Emily I use to be. You come to college expecting one thing, and the opposite occurs. Sometimes you find life being a complete contradiction. But who's to say that's a bad thing? For me, my opposites are actually better.
Coming to MC I never would have found myself having the best friend I have now. It was so unexpected, but she is the one who I can connect to the most. She is by far singled minded and we can just related to so many different things. Although we come from two completely different backgrounds and parts of the country, our personalities match up well.
This week I had an adventure. I got lost about three times trying to find a mall. My friend finds it exhilarating getting lost, while I on the other hand freaks out. The sad thing about this situation is that I have GPS system and I know how to use it, but i still get confused. I'm hoping that after my four years at MC, I will be able to master driving in Jackson (and other big cities).
Today I attended First Baptist Jackson for kind of the first time. I have been coming on Wednesday nights, but I felt as if I should go on a Sunday. So today I went and completely fell in love. I believe God was laying it on my heart that this is where I should be. I'm really excited to see what else he has in store for my life. It just keeps getting better!

Out of My Element and On My Own
Have you ever longed to go somewhere so bad and when you get there it's not quite the way you imagined? Well, that has been my life for the past few weeks at MC. Since December I have been counting down the days untill I was on my own and living at MC. I imagined lots of friends, lots of fun, and definitely no worries. Now, I'm not sayin my perfect little dreamed turned out to be a complete nightmare, but lets just say it has not been quite what I have expected.
At first things were very awkward. At least for the first week I felt as if I was in church camp. I had only one friend, and that was my roommate. I had so many different emotions, I didn't know how to react. Everyone seemed to be so fake... including me! That lasted about a week or two and then the true personalities started to show. Once classes started, I began to find my place. I started meeting new people and making new friends. Most importantly, I started having fun. After this drastic change, I realized that I did come to the right college, and my future is looking very bright.
Last but not least.... Since sixth grade, I have hated English with all my heart. That has always been my weakest subject, and the class that I've never looked forward to. To be completely honest I was not looking forward to college English either. I expected it to be a lot more boring and pointless. However, I've had a change in heart. I LOVE ENGLISH!!! This is by far my favorite class, and I actually look foward to Tuesdays and Thursdays. I always wonder what is going to come shooting out of Dr. Randle's mouth next! It is extremely interesting, and it seems like its going to be a great class. So although it started off kind of slow, things at MC are starting to look better. I have found my place, and I am ready to start this new chapter of my life.
