"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

Twas the Night Before Classes...

Here we go again- classes start tomorrow!

Today I woke up bright and early, ready for the day. That's unusual and not likely to happen again for a while... It was my first Sunday back at Little Bonne Femme and it was extra special because Mom and Elizabeth got to come along since they were up for the weekend. Afterwards we did some last minute Walmart shopping and continued to put our house together.

Speaking of which, the house is coming along quite nicely. Our living room is the perfect combination of Western and Mizzou. It may sound like an odd combination, but with our Mizzou cow skull, deep brown leather chairs, wooden wheel clock and Mizzou throw pillows it is perfect. City, meet the country. We are here to stay!

I feel sort of bad for my roommates- they have to get up early for 8 and 9 a.m.'s while my earliest class this semester is at 9:30 and that's only two days. The rest are at 11 or noon... But I am happy because I think this will allow me to miss the morning traffic! Yay! Though don't worry, my city/highway driving is improving. 

I also got to see some of my friends from Missio Dei this evening at our back-to-school BBQ. Once I saw them I realized just how much I've missed them. I can't wait for us all to get together and catch up for real. Hopefully this week will give us a good idea of our schedules and how crazy this semester is going to be.

Tomorrow I have my intro to rural sociology class, which I am very excited about. Kathryn and Rachel took it last year and they liked it, and from what I've heard it seems right up my alley. Then I have my first J2150 (Multimedia- my final Journalism intro class) lecture. We'll see how that goes. 

Now I'd better get to reading "The Botany of Desire" for my Readings class. I'm not sure what I think of it right now. I can already tell the author and I have completely different viewpoints on life. The class discussion is sure to be interesting... I'm sure you will hear about it as we progress through the book. 

Good night!
