First Few Days at University, and a few other things

I'm not sure who or what I should properly credit for this--my time at Pima College, my Transfer Strategies class, both, or something else entirely--, but I'll say the following: I wasn't too overwhelmed by my first day. The only thing that I can say was some trouble finding where my classes were, and even then that's not much of a complaint. Going from ~20 people in a classroom to ~80 in one and at least a couple hundred, while odd, isn't so bad for the moment. If anything... I haven't really met anyone there I recognise from either Pima or Benson; for the sake of my sanity, I'll want to make friends here as soon as possible. While my friends at Grace To The Nations have been good, I'd rather not rely on them (or the handful of friends I chat with online) for socialisation. If nothing else, I can try to get to know one of the Teachers' Assistants--that's always useful, I suppose.

I'm going through what's called a "Daniel Fast"--21 days long--which officially started today. I chose to take a fast from soda and most fatty foods (anything higher than 5 grams of fat), along with trying to get closer to God. Aside from being hungrier than usual (I need to find better sources of food), it's going pretty good so far. Okay, so not only does it include soda, but rich foods and sauces, meat (and dairy products?), and desserts. Everything else that I said applies, and I'll have to cut down on my internet time.

Not sure if I already wrote this or not, but back in mid-December I sent out a package to my friend (Yanina) and her 8-year-old daughter (Lara) in Buenos Aires for Christmas--Lara got some art supplies (stuff like glitter pens, coloured pencils, paper) and cards for both of them. They got them today, and both were very happy. Therefore, I'm happy that they're happy and that it finally got there. If I haven't made this note on here, I'll have to remember to use FedEx or a better alternative for stuff like this--Postal Service didn't seem to work.
