quick #1

Thought i'd take a page from my friend, Alexis, who is really good at just posting short little regular messages... lets see if I can hack it.

For work this week and the next two, essentially, I am working with New Student Programs to help support "Baylor Line Camp" - which is a 4 day on-campus experience for incoming freshmen. Its an opportunity for them to get to know other students and really get integrated into the baylor experience. I think its been going well so far, but it feels like football camp - we have line camp stuff every morning, class most afternoons (though on some days we have class in the AM and line camp stuff in the afternoon...) and then line camp stuff at night. Meanwhile, we are still expected to get our homework done! :) I am not in the worst shape - some people actually work for New Student Programs and they are working until after midnight every day Tues - Fri and still have to do this other stuff - -- - crazy!

I am also taking pictures at Line Camp for the office, so hopefully I'll have some of those pics up on the blog soon - maybe this weekend - so you can see.

In the meantime, I'm taking two summer courses during this session: Leadership in Higher Education and Faith-Based Higher Education (a survey of the history of protestant colleges and universities). Both are very interesting. And both are taught by Dub Oliver, the vice-president for student life at baylor - which makes us feel important, I think, and also very very lucky that he's willing to devote a lot of hours a week to learning with us.

that's it for now - breakfast starts in 30 minutes and I need to get ready! Love you!
