I began my journey to Biola three short months ago, yet it feels as if i have been here for a longer duration of time than that! I have discovered transferring colleges is not as easy as a thought. I came to Biola completely unprepared. For those of you who had the chance to experience Victor Valley College you know what I'm referring to. My journey here at Biola has only been rewarding. I have found that i have stretched myself farther than i thought possible. I had this set idea of what christian schools were like before i even went to one. I must admit, some of my notions were correct, but i will stand corrected on many other notions. I have been challenged in so many ways in all of my classes. This semester has not been easy. Three bible classes, and three psychology classes, now that's what i call overloaded! Last semester my idea of studying consisted of possibly skimming through the course book (mainly while my attention was focused on other less important things). Now i find that sleep comes at late hours, and doesn't last long, free time is usually not an option, and naps are essential. Regardless of the difficulties, I am thankful for this journey i am embarking on. I have met amazing people and heard amazing stories. I must say i do enjoy telling people where i am from and when i tell them "Victorville" or "the High Desert," they respond with "Where is that?" or my favorite " Is that the pit stop to Vegas?!" I have met a couple people from out of state, and the greatest glory was forcing them to eat In-N- out with me. I must say that i have converted many over! My views on life have changed completely. I have finally got out of the desert bubble. Thankfully, i live close to a beach! =]I do miss home, but many because of the people i left. I know that this is right where God has me. There is still so much to be learned, which at this point seems impossible! However, i look forward to it!
