Right now Im sitting at a pretty three thousand feet above sea level in the quaint town of Boone, North Carolina. Not surprisingly its already fairly cold here (40s the last couple of days) and fall seems to be rather shy this year, already leaving the stage for winter to come on and do its thing.
The last month and a half have been filled with all kinds of adventures. The hand (surgery on an infection) is healing nicely and I reaped in goodies and get-wells from people. The first couple weeks following surgery were the most interesting when I had to keep my had elevated above my heart at all times. On quite a few occasions I was called on in class with the teacher eventually realizing I had no question but am simply following medical orders.
Time management has been one issue Ive been trying to deal with, along with glorifying God through school and the work that comes with it. These are two things that I often struggle with. Africa gave me great perspective on the blessings Ive been given, particularly in regards to education, and that blessing entails responsibility.
That said, college is a lot of fun and I dont want to be a slave to school. Slavery's not good. Anyway, im pretty tired and Im talking about slavery for some reason, so im gunna call it a night and wake up in the morning ready to manage some time!
