Seeking Shelter


Well, here I am in Abbotsford.... So far things aren't great. My program has been changed (which they failed to tell me until after I paid) and I am suppose to be here for 5 semesters straight. Yes, that means no summer break. That was the start of the disappointment. Next, I found out that due to the changes I am not required to take many bible courses -I am only in Bibical Studies and Intro to Theology. My other classes are: Foundations of ECE, Creative Development, Child Development, English, and Observation (ECE). All which add up to 19 credits. So needless to say I am overly stressed and have never-ending homework. To quote the care counselor of the school, "Some people take 18 credits- but that's just suicide." Full time is considered 12. I already have no idea how I am ever going to get all of my work done. (According to statistics, the amount of homework time is approx. double class time. That equals just under 40 hours a week!! That's a full time job of just homework!!) So yeah, I haven't been really impressed with my school situation, but I am happy with my living arrangements. I am in "senior housing" which is like an apartment/townhouse. There are 4 of us, and 2 bedrooms so we share. My roommate Julie, and I lucked out and were assigned the larger one. She is from Ontario and is 21. The other two girls are Erin (26, Surrey) and Tanya (22, Latvia). They are all super nice and we all seem to be getting along well.
Oh I forgot..another thing that I'm not too happy with is the weather. All it does is rain. I heard that it rains a lot here but I really had no idea how much. So my hair goes all big and frizzy and wonderful..yeah not too much fun.
ANYWAYS
I know God has me here for a reason, I'm just not really sure yet what that exactly (or even a little) is. Maybe it's to make me put my trust fully in Him..or maybe it's to completely break me..
Well I think that's it for now..sorry it was so negative. I appreciate prayers if you feel so inclined.
