Well ladies and gentleman, today was officially the start of the 2010-2011 school year here at Bluffton! I have to say, I am looking forward to all of my classes this semester. I am taking Spiritual Disciplines, The Biological World with a Lab, Principles of Accounting I, Fit for Life, and Principle of Macroeconomics. I have a lot of reading to do, but I know I am going to enjoy all of the classes, so it won't be to bad having to read for them. Word of advice, usually the first day of classes is just a day of going over what to expect for the semester. Some professors will start some work, but it won't be to much, usually. haha Usually, having just a notebook and a folder with something to write with will be just fine for the first day. Of course, I am only a sophomore, so I could be wrong when it comes to getting into the upper level courses. Yet, for you perspective students, don't worry about having everything on the first day of classes. You will have time to get more stuff after the first day. The bookstore is stocked with folders, notebooks, and other supplies that you may need for your classes.
Along with the first day of classes today, I also had cross country practice in the afternoon after all my classes were done. Let's just say it was a hot day for a run. Our team went out to the nature preserve to run because it is very shaded there. All the girls held up pretty well to. Our team is looking pretty good this year, and I have to say I am really excited for the season to start. First meet is on Saturday!! :) Now with classes started, I am getting back into the routine of balancing homework, practice, hanging out with friends, and work. Now, work for me doesn't start until Thursday, but I know I am going to be busy this semester with everything going on. Learning how to balance between your activities and homework is just a part of college. It takes a couple of weeks to get into a routine, and then you'll be fine.
This week is also welcome back week. Every night this week there is something going on on campus. Tonight, there is shaving cream whiffle ball. I remember last year when some of my friends where playing and one of them slipped and fell running to third base. All of the bases are just made of shaving cream, which makes it that more exciting to play. Tomorrow night, there is Dutch Blitz! One of my favorite card games to play with my friends!! Then Wednesday night is the Minute to Win It game, Thursday is a photo scavenger hunt, and Friday night there is bowling for a buck at the bowling alley here in Bluffton. Happening all day Saturday is the Welcome Back Festival. It's going to be a busy campus this week!
Everything is in full swing here, and I am so excited!! :)

Introduction
Hey, so this is my first entry on my new blog. How exciting! This blog is going to be used to share with all you readers what is going on at Bluffton University and how life is for a college student. I am really looking forward to posting blogs on here for everyone to read.
Ok now for an introduction. Hence why the title of this post is "Introduction." My name is Katy and I am a sophomore this year at Bluffton. I run cross country and track for the Beavers. I also am on the Spiritual Life Week Committee this year, which organizes a week in October dedicated to growing more closely to God. I am planning to do some more things this year to, like play some intramural sports and join some other organizations. It should be a good year.
My family consist of my mother, father, and my younger sister who will be a senior this year in high school. They are all loving and supportive of me in everything I do. I love my family like crazy.
Well, classes here at Bluffton don't start until Monday, but I moved in yesterday for cross country pre-season week. I love being able to move in early because I don't have to fight the hassle that is move in day for the rest of the students, which will be happening this weekend. The dorms do get crazy with everyone trying to move in their things.
Well, that's all that I am going to write for now. I am really looking forward to posting more blogs on here. It is going to be a fun year here at Bluffton University! :)
