back again

so i know i haven't been here in a long time, but life has been a little crazy...so to fill you (being the 2 people who might read this..hehe) in...

i am now in my forth week here at iwu and i am loving it!! things are going really well...i've made a few new friends and am reconnecting with some old ones.

i am taking a class called authentic leader and i really like it. we talk about some pretty heavy stuff, but it is really good. part of that class is a leadership practice. what that means is that i need to have some area of my life in which a have some kind of leadership role. i'm still working on the details, but i plan to plug into a local church youth group. i will have to quote un-quote keep record of what i'm doing and learning about leadership throughout the semester. i plan to do that here. i will continue to write random things too, but now maybe about once a week (depending on what the practice part looks like) i will be posting something about that.

i am really excited about this semester and the things i could learn about leadership and about myself!!
