This past week I faced a lot of difficulties.
Early, two Sundays ago, at 5:30a.m., I woke to the fire alarm in my dorm. Come to find out there was an actual fire on the second floor of Crowe. That caused a lot of hardship for me because I had to relocate to another room for a week and a half. Luckily there are good people like Taran and Nikki McZee who took me in for that time.
I had a couple of midterms as well last week, one in my health and fitness course and one in my communication course. I know for sure that I did well on the communication midterm and I believe I did well on the health and fitness midterm, but I have yet to get the grade back. That was satisfying along with the fact that Fall Break was approaching.
My best friend from my home town came to pick me up and we took a long drive to Milwaukee. We stopped at Gurnee Mills in Illinois before returning home just to hang out and mingle a bit. Although it was a long drive, it gave us time to catch up on what was going on in our lives.
My Fall Break was also filled with some troubles. I was having some issues with my vehicle in which there was a lot of back and forth about who was going to fix it, what warranty covered what needed to be fixed, and who was going to reimburse me for money that I was not supposed to spend because my vehicle was still under warranty.
This delay in process caused me to have to take a nine hour Greyhound bus ride back to Hanover from Milwaukee. Whoever has ridden the bus before knows how that can be, so I know you feel for me right now.
Even still I am grateful to be alive today especially to live another day to see my family grow and get stronger. I am happy to build relationships with friends here and at home. I am really thankful for this college experience opportunity and for those who are here helping me get through this improbable journey. I hope that in the near future, whenever that may be, that the Lord turns all of these set backs into come backs.
