Back to School

Well August has come and gone and brought along college, new experiences,and September. As my first two weeks of classes and a new life come to a close there are many things to tell and share. First off, when everyone says, college is the time of your life they aren't lying! Two weeks in and I love Texas Lutheran so far. The small campus and classes, the wit of our teachers and their ability to freely teach in class, and lastly the welcoming feeling that continues to radiate throughout campus even after freshman orientation is long gone! As I sit here and reflect I notice the challenges that I have faced thus far and realize that they will only get more difficult. Between the work load of my classes and basketball I will have plenty to balance as I make my way through the first semester. The more I stay focused on my education, the better my chances are to do well in all of my classes. My classes are a pain, but interesting which I guess makes up for the challenge of the class. My teachers are refreshingly enthused about there subject and actually like teaching; who ever thought teachers may have enjoyed their jobs! With all seriousness though it is nice to see people passionate about their jobs and to actually care about what happens to the students around them which is a major difference from high school. I have yet to explore the entire campus, but I have learned my way around and with the help of a few upper class men I have learned a few shortcut to and from my classes! I almost went into shock when I learned of the shortcut going to Moody. Instead of going all the way around Tschope Hall, we could just cut in between it and the resident halls and walla I was at Moody in a fraction of the time! Its little things like this that blow freshman minds and make our first year of college unforgettable. As I continue my college experience here at Texas Lutheran, these short cuts will become important and will be crucial to my time here.
