Hi everybody, now that I am back at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, United States of America, I have decided to resume my blog. The internet up here is faster than at home so check for updates on my previous post as well.
My first reaction upon stepping out of the airport to find my shuttle was how hot it was. I was blasted by the humid, heavy air. With this immense humidity sitting in the shade here feels like sitting in the sun back home. It doesn't cool off at night either. It probably drops down to about twenty-five at night and gets up to thrity five or hotter during the day. Playing soccer in it is pretty brutal.
Speaking of soccer I found out two days ago that I am a professional athlete and am ineligible to play college soccer. In May we won the Cosmos tournament and we won $900 as a team I got a thirty dollar cut and therefore am a paid athlete. My coaches are working to clear it up and I should be able to play in future games but I missed our opener on Saturday which we won 4-1. We have a much better JV team than last year. Our player count went from eight or nine to 22.
Anyways I got sidetracked. I was planning on taking the shuttle from Nashville to Chattanooga, which I did, and than taking a taxi up the mountain to CC, which I didn't do. Why not? You ask. Well, a wonderful Bryan College student by the name of Nicole, I think, took me up in her car. I met her on the shuttle and I found out that she was a junior at our rival school an hour away from us. She decided to be an angel and drive me up the mountain. It was pretty sweet.
I fell right back into the swing of things. It felt like I had never left. My room's a little different and we have new people at the school and on the hall and we are missing all the seniors but everything still has the same feel about it, with one major exception. Michelle Green, one of good friends from last year decided to leave for Providence, a newly established URC college. It kinda sucks but such is life.
The courses I am taking this semester are: The Old Testament, Calculus 1, Greek, Computer Programming, and Cultural Heritage or the West 1, for a total of 18 credit hours. Greek will be by far my hardest course. Next will be Calc. I used to be good at math but since I haven't done it in two years I am a little lost. I hope to be able to catch on fairly quickly though.

Hey Josh! I'm glad to see that you are blogging again so I can read all about you from up in the windy city! Your classes sound pretty hard, good luck with them!!
Cool,didnt know we had a pro soccer player in the family. How did they find out?
Your u-18 soccer team won gold at prov.last weekend
Dad
that probabl says why you said in your e-mail that it was bloody hot.
i don't think there is anyway you should be able to play soccer. i have seen you play, and along with the fact that you ARE/have been paid, you fall under the professional athlete label. if you have any conscience whatsoever, you will resign from your team at your educational institution.
