Life in Emory

It can get boring at times. Life here in Emory. The past few days have been good. My first full week of classes ended up going well. I can't believe we are into the new semester already..and almost two weeks at that! It doesn't feel like we have been at it for that long.

This past weekend I lead a service project in Abingdon. It was for the Martin Luther King National Day of Service. We went and moved some stuff from a storage building for a food pantry. The day of service was supposed to be on MLK Day, but since we had school we had to push it back to this past Saturday.

I headed up to Blacksburg on Saturday evening to visit Tarah and Dove and everyone up there. I spent the night on Saturday night. We basically sat around, listened to music, and I washed clothes. It was terribly exciting. It was good to visit with them though. I enjoy going up there just to get off campus.

I have set some goals for myself. I dropped a few pounds while I was in California and I continued to do so up into last semester. I think I've gained a little back. So, I need to start eating healthier in the cafe. I have also decided that even though my car is close by, I am not driving if I have to go anywhere on campus. I am going to walk everywhere. It is silly to drive when I can walk anywhere in a matter of 5-10 minutes.

Until next time, Zach will leave it at that.
