GSP [[3 days in]]

So, I'm here! A week ago, I was bummed about spending 5 weeks away, but when all my best friends went to the Dominican Republic on a mission trip I was DYING to go on, and I was stuck in Louisville, I thought to myself, "Well, I might as well go to GSP now..."

When I first arrived on campus, I was nervous as heck. Since I only knew one person, my reputation I'd spent 17 years building had no effect. I was starting over, and I wasn't sure if I'd make friends easily. Since middle school, it's always been a struggle for me.

But.. I DID! I met great friends, Christian and non. My two closest friends right now are Elizabeth and Amanda. They're wonderful Christian women, and I'm glad to be walking this journey alongside them.

I joined many clubs... Swing Dancing, Spanish, Step Team, FCA/Bible Study. Not sure how many I'm gonna stick with, but new things are wonderful!

My focus area is Journalism and Mass Media, and I like it so far. All we've done up until now is name games, watch the US vs. Algeria, and watch "All the President's Men". I like it!

My seminar just has done ice-breaker games, but we'll be debating about things such as homosexual marriage, abortion, and other BIG topics. It's my chance to defend and argue my faith, and I'm praying for the right words to say and the right way to approach topics... God is my guide.

General studies, we're learning about civilizations. For the first week we'll focus on the first civilizations, and after that we'll build our own! Own laws, own capital, own flat.. I'm kind of excited :) I hope I grow to like it more and more!

So that's all for now.. Gotta get back to the amigos ♥

P.S. No boys!
