More from the Berg
As orientation rolls on ahead, I continue to come to the realization that I am not enjoying myself as much as I have before. Here are a few reasons:
-- no alarm clock (stressing out about waking up)
-- cell phone won't recharge (stressing out about being picked up tomorrow)
-- I don't know any of the freshmen in this group (harder to socialize)
-- incredibly sore throat (general bad mood when you are sick)
I look forward to coming home for the following reasons:
-- my alarm clock
-- my cell phone will recharge in the car
-- to see Mike and talk to everyone from home
-- to get some soup and hot tea for my throat
-- to sleep
But, orientation does not end for another 14 hours, and that doesn't count my wait time until I get home. Two more views on the end of orientation:
A. I hope these hours go fast. Not because I'm not enjoying myself, but because I don't feel well. I want to see my own bed and a cup of tea with some soup nearby so I can just relax. And, I sort of want to go back to work to see my class.
B. I want these hours to take their time. I am enjoying talking with the parents and some of the students. I'm not too eager to head back to my troublemakers. I won't see any of these people until move-in day in late August. I'll miss the campus.
So, I guess this calls for a lot of time to think about all of this. Pray that this goes well.
