Classes.

Well, we are two days into our real classes now. I have to say, they are MUCH easier than the Intensive period. Yesterday, Bearden and I had a  three hour video editing class, which was great cause I have been dying to sink my teeth into Final Cut (an industry standard video editing program). I had taken some classes on how to use it before, but the teacher here explained it more articulately and laid it out more clearly.
After the editing class, we had a Lecture Host class. which was more or less a tutorial showing us how to put together a class room for the lecturer.

Today, we had a Personal Leadership class with our principle Lee Burns. Today he talked about vision and how to utilize it for the Kingdom.  Then we had chapel followed by an Old Testament class. In the Old Testament class we were introduced to the importance of studying the OT and it's relevancy to us Christian living under New Covenant Grace. We also briefly went over the 20 major events that happened during the OT.
Later,  we had another class that more or less recapped what we had learned earlier in OT lecture.

When I got home I took a nap and when I woke up some people had come over and were chilling down stairs. What I like about this place is that once you get plugged, you'll always have something going on every night. Things are so much different now, from the two weeks we spent sweating around in the house all day sitting on our hands.
I feel more and more like I'm embracing this new life style. At first, I just felt like I was at summer camp for a week or two making quick makeshift friends to keep me company for awhile and soon enough I would be home again in my old rituals and habits of day to day life. I guess a sense of permanence is finally starting to sink in. This house I live in, is my home now. My roommates have in a way, taken the position as my family. The people around me are not just instruments for makeshift companionship, but are more like friends. The church isn't just a place I'm visiting while I'm here, but it's MY church now. It's a very strange sensation for someone who has lived in the same house for 20 years and never even moved away before.



This is off the soundtrack of on of my favorite documentaries, "180 degrees South". It seemed fitting to me somehow. 

For those of you curious, here's the trailer for the movie.
