College life

News is coming from the desk of Riz...

I have been in college now for a month AND am having tons of fun too! I have been studying like crazy and getting decent grades, but I know that I can do better. I will- promise!! School is so much fun. Our brother dorm is great and to my surprise their is a guy from Tacoma. I have met lots of cool people. The sports are great too!

My classes are getting better. I had my first math test on Monday and another GNED test on Wednesday. Not to fun, but I did ok on them. Bible has been going better. I am really getting better at understanding the bible. Last week we watched " The Gospel of John," which was really good. It was like "The Passion of the Christ," but a little less graphic. Psychology is going well. I enjoy this class. On the fourth, I took a career direct test to see what careers I could go into to and my top three were Athletics, Counseling and writing. I really think that God is putting it on my heart to be a counselor, which I am excited about because I love helping people. I am not sure what kind of counselor, but I do not have to figure that out until later. I would like to do something in writing as well. Math is going surprisingly well... I have been doing really well in that class. Getting A's and B's on homework and quizzes. Doing better then expected. English is going well too. My first essay was due on the fifth, I believe and I got a "B." I am taking that class online.

There was a football game on the ninth which was exciting. My first one... We won by a lot. Next game I am going to paint my face red... I think! There was a Hockey game on the 22nd, which was awesome. We were playing the University of Maryland and we beat them 10-2. There was a lot of fights which was really exciting. The best part! One guy on the other team got kicked out of the game and one of our fans got kicked out as well. Intense!

Anyways, I am having lots of fun, but I miss my family. At least I have David and Tiffany. Oh our dorm is addicted to "Without a Trace." Looking for season two. (wink wink) loves. Clarisssa

    Well honey girl. It looks like you're having a great college experience so far--more fun than study??? :)

    I'm proud of how you are progressing in your studies and in your walk with the Lord. Keep relying on Him as He will direct you. Jeremiah 29:11 (funny how that verse keeps popping up)

    What is the boy's name that lives in Tacoma--you're not talking to him are you???? :)

    Have fun with Aunt Denise and Uncle Dave this week--say "hey" to Donna as well.

    I love you Mom
