Another Crazy Start to the Semester

you’d think that with the entire summer, i’d have enough time to get all my textbooks.  nope.  every year, books arrive late, or i order duplicates, or i leave some out.  then i’ve gotta figure out my books as homework, classes, and work vie for my time.  throw in the time spent cooking meals, doing house chores, and organizing house church activities and i barely have enough time to buy books.  so i don’t, and i repeatedly buy and return books to the campus store.  better yet, i borrow them from the library, and i renew them until the end of the semester.  just a few tips i learned from my sophomore friends when i was a freshman.

at least i’ve still had time to have fun.  i went to another celebration of the grand, and this time, it didn’t get rained out.  last year, sudden downpours sent hundreds of Grand Rappers sprinting through downtown streets to their cars that were parked just too far away.  this year, rain scared off some people, and a sudden sprinkle during the fireworks sent some people running.  but the fireworks continued, and the rain eventually stopped.

i’ve also been picking up swing dancing.  although i rarely dance (mostly because dirty hip hop doesn’t encourage very creative dance moves), i’ve always wanted to try something new.  so since my friends like to go swing dancing, i thought i’d tag along and try it out.  although i’m not exactly strong enough to swing a girl all over the place (hence the term swing dancing), i can still lay down the typical rockstep.

i’d like to imagine that i was always this entertaining

really, grand rapids is quite fun.  after spending a summer here, i’ve learned to really enjoy this place.  for the first time ever, i actually know some street names.
