Welcome to the Most Outstanding Year In the History of Azusa Pacific University

I'm writing this from my dorm room at Azusa. After a looong day of moving in and orientation yesterday I'm all settled.
It's about 85 degrees outside and only getting hotter, but I love it.
I had to change classes about 6 times, but my final schedule works out nicely.

Christian Faith, Life, and Ministry
Intro to Literature
Intro to Philosophy
Luke/Acts
Advanced Spanish
Health

No classes before 9:45am. My poor roommate has 8am classes every day.

God has been amazing, and it looks like I can graduate in two years. We'll see what happens, but He knows.

Yesterday we watched a video on APU's study abroad program in Oxford and it only strengthened my desire to go.
I am so excited for this year though. It is gonna be more challenging and rewarding than I can imagine now.

Introductions

Friends and Family,
I've created this blog as a place where I can post updates throughout the next year.
As most of you know, by September 4th I'll be at Azusa Pacific University.
I may not post for a while, as I'm quite busy this summer (lifeguarding, teaching swim lessons, coaching the six-year-olds on swim team, etc.), but once I get down there I plan on posting somewhat regularly.

A tiny bit of background on my education thus far:
I was homeschooled by my mother along with my five siblings until 10th grade.
In 5th grade we joined H.I.S. Ministries Co-op for history, science, Bible, and electives (Latin, geography, and Apologetics).
For 11th and 12th grade, I was a full-time Running Start student at Highline Community College. Last Thursday, I graduated with my A.A. degree with an emphasis in Spanish.
At Azusa Pacific University, I plan to major in English (the Literature track) and minor in Spanish.


Last week I registered for Fall Semester classes, so right now I'm signed up for the following:
Freshman Seminar
Intro to Literature
Intro to Philosophy
Health
Exodus/Deuteronomy
Christian Life, Faith, and Ministry

Though I'm trying to switch either Intro to Philosophy or Health for a Spanish class once my classes from this quarter at HCC transfer.

Thanks to all of you who came to my grad party! It was amazing.
I'll update again eventually :)
