This last week has been C-R-A-Z-Y-T-O-W-N. To say the least…but it’s also been such a blast!!! Let me give you the rundown…
So last Friday, I packed my belongings, and moved down to Corban University. I LOVE IT! Friday through Tuesday was orientation, which far exceeded my expectations. I met a lot of really cool people because of all of the activities we did. Then Wednesday, we started classes!
Now, here’s a funny story…
When I first applied to Corban, I was dead set on becoming a history major. I thought that was what I was going to do, no question. But as the time drew closer, I started to have a bit of a check in my heart about it. I had been constantly praying about it over the last few months, but with the idea being that I wouldn’t really change my major or anything. Well, on day one of classes, I went to my Modern Eastern Asian History course (supposedly the hardest course Corban offers), History of the Middle East, and World Thought and Culture course. I was overwhelmed, to say the least (like borderline panic attack), when I saw all of the syllabi in tandem, working together to destroy any hopes I had of maintaining a social life..or minimal sleep debt, for that matter. In addition, I just hadn’t been feeling a passion for it. Thursday, day two of class, I went to Baptist Heritage (much more interesting than it sounds…), Global Perspectives, and Bible Study Methods. All of those classes seemed relatively easy, save a couple of papers I’ll have to write…they’re also all required. After class, my dad drove down to Salem and took me to lunch. I hadn’t seen him (or really talked to him except for when I had a mini meltdown over a printer…printers, by the way, are the bane of my existence…) for a week, so I gabbed on and on about everything that happened. Kind of like what I’m doing right now…anyways, during our lunch, he asked if I had considered changing my major. He told me that a friend’s daughter recently graduated with a degree in history, and now wished she’d gotten a degree in business. That was sort of what did it for me…I decided to change my major. I talked with my mom, who has been telling me that I should get a business degree since grade school, and she was thrilled. So today, I spoke with one of the business professors at Corban, and we got it all taken care of. I’m actually WAY more excited about school now than I was a week ago! I feel like this degree is a lot more versatile, and my heart is much more at peace about this than it was last week.
So that’s my story. I’m so incredibly excited for this year! You may see less posts from me. Trying to get good grades/have friends. 🙂
Here’s a little video Corban put together of orientation…kind of fun! 🙂Â
