Welcome Week!

I am a complete failure at posting blogs on time. I did not realize how much free time I DON'T have anymore. There is no way I'm going to be a YouTube addict with so many activities going on. heehee :)

Anyway, I moved into Baylor on August 18. My parents and I drove down from Dallas, and once we arrived at the Baylor campus, a whole herd of volunteers attacked my car, unpacked all my belongings, and brought it to my dorm room. The only thing I moved was my laptop and my pillow. Pretty cool, eh? :)

That afternoon, all 3,000 Baylor freshmen (and their parental units) gathered at the Burleson Quadrangle and ate a burgers and all those artery clogging foods. It would've been a more enjoyable meal, IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT IN LINE FOR 45 MINUTES! By the time I got my food, I wasn't even hungry anymore.

On Friday, my small group and I attended an extremely boring Academic Convocation. I honestly don't remember anything that we did, except watch a bunch of professors walking in their formal robes and all of us putting cheap little Baylor pins on our shirts. That evening, we ate dinner at one of my professor's house. All I remember is the lasagna tasted grrrreat. :)

Saturday, all the new students attended a church fair. I got so many fliers to different types of churches (there seriously are so many Baptist churches in Texas!). After that, we had a residence hall gathering. Basically we did some activities to get to know the girls living in our hall, and also meet the Community Leaders aka CLs (they're basically the same thing as an RA).

Sunday morning, I went to church at Antioch Community Church. I totally loved it! The worship style was very contemporary and I really enjoyed every aspect of worship, the people, and the message. I guess you can say it was Pentecostal (even though I'm pretty sure it was non-denominational) but I felt like it was a perfect fit for me. :) Finally, at night, we had a candlelight ceremony which was a worship service for the whole freshman class. We went outside at like 9 at night, lit some candles, sang a few songs, and prayed. It was a nice way to end welcome week and start our college experience. :)
