Orientation

Yesterday was orientation. 9 hours of administrative stuff...blah. In reality everything went well, and I feel a lot more settled now. Signed up for classses, got my financial aid straightened out, met some fellow students, as well as some profs. All in a days work.

I made one new friend today, Helen. Go figure, she's from Uganda! She's in the DMin program, but has been at Palmer the last three years, having completed a dual Masters degree in Faith and Public Policy and Christian Counseling. She's super cool, but very blunt - which I find humorous b/c I'm so unblunt. Anyway, we talked for a good hour and a half after orientation. Ater a little prying, I found out her father is the Anglican Archbishop of Uganda. She also let me in on her dream of dreams - she desires to be the President of Uganda one day. How cool is that?

Guess I shall keep this short for now...
