I just finished my first day of classes and I could not be happier to be back. It's funny how I've started to call Abilene home even though I'm not from here. My friends, school, job, and church are all here so being back just feels comfortable. I started off early with an eight o'clock marketing class (my first eight o'clock EVER) and then went straight to economics. I love walking to class on the first day and knowing you will probably know half of the people in your class and that one of the girls in the hall probably saved you a seat! Before lunch I had Elements of Design with Tony Berry. He instructed us to please call him Tony because if we said Mr. Berry he would probably start looking around for his father. Needless to say, he was pretty entertaining!

    I am really excited for this semester, especially after just returning from a leadership retreat in Ruidoso, New Mexico. I am in an organization on campus called Student Ambassador Board (SAB) whose goal is to connect McMurry Students past, present, and future. This was a school sponsored trip, so that we could plan activities, set goals, and team build for the upcoming semester. We had a blast! I made some new friends, got to know some old friends better and was able to share my ideas and opinions as a leader on campus. I am excited to see what this semester will hold as I get more involved on campus and fall more in love with this place and these people!
