but now we've figured it out! Our school internet connection has BLOCKED the website, so I am currently at my favorite coffee shop in Jackson (Jackson Coffee Co.) using their WiFi.

Well, what can I say? School has been SOO great! As always, my classes are beyond interesting. I am currently in Daniel/Revelation, Colossians, and Pastoral Epistles (1 & 2 Timothy and Titus). They are ALL fascinating. One thing that we just today was Chapter 7 of Daniel and the 4 beasts. It's great. All of the End Times and Eschatological stuff interests me so much. And I'm finding that I need to invest in a Journaling Bible because I don't have enough room for all the notes that I want to write in my Bible. I have also just finished an elective class, False Deities of the Bible.
It was only 5 1-hour classes long, but my teacher (Dan Falls) was able to fit a LOT of really interesting stuff in, as usual. : )

Life in the dorm has been interesting. I swear that it's almost impossible to be bored while living in The Dungeon. I have so much fun with all of my roommates. We've managed to fit some movies in when we don't have any homework to do.
I had the opportunity to go sledding with a couple of them before classes started. It was a blast. And besides doing fun stuff with my roommates, I've made it one of my goals to do more with my friends outside of my dorm and to build more relationships with the people in the school.
An exciting bit of news is that my dorm-parents(Joel and Bethany) have had a baby girl on January 21st!! They now have a family of five and I have 3 younger "siblings": Jack, Owen, and Kate Lael. If it wasn't for this family, I would have been driven mad a LONG time ago by being cooped up in the basement of a 3 story building where there is ALWAYS someone there. lol. It's a good thing that
I love being here, it would be a bad distraction for the real reason why I am here.
All that to say, I am doing great! I am just getting over a bad cold from the end of last week, but I was up and ready to get back to classes this morning. It was exciting to have Dan./Rev. this morning because my teacher was also out sick from Wednesday to Friday.

I hope to hear from you! And I am going to try to make it somewhere more often so that I can update more. It will hopefully be easier to do now that I know what the problem is.
