School...blah, blah, blah

So i'm back at school as i had said previously. So far it's been okay. I had RA training this past week. I don't know if i just know all the stuff we went over already, or it was just less informative this year, but i didn't really enjoy it. But i do like the new RAs. I am glad that we have broken off from all the RAs being church-work students and the token football player and baseball player. It is more diverse this year and there are more sophomores, which is good. Then they can continue to be an RA for the next 3 years (if they choose) and build really good relationships with their residents.
Anyways, being back at school is weird. i feel like i could be doing so much more good back in China, so i am restless being here. Tia and I talked about it and i know that i have stuff to do here and that God will use me no matter where i am, but it's hard being here. I have to build a whole new support system because Erin, Lindsey, and Ginger left. I just don't want to deal with making new friends when i am leaving in a year, but i shouldn't think like that because if Ginger and Lindsey and Erin thought like that i wouldn't have ever met them.
On a good note, Stephanie and I went to the drive-in last night and saw Dukes of Hazzard, Red Eye, and Batman Begins. I enjoyed all of them. Dukes of Hazzard was completely stupid but i do love Johnny Knoxville. It was a good time to talk with Steph and just have some fun.
Well its time to actually get something done.

Father God,
Please calm my fears about this school year. Help me to open up to others in love and kindness. Please be with all of my students. Work in their hearts Lord and continue to do your will in China.
Amen.
