"House" Stories

This year I'm living in a one of several "ministry houses" that we have here on campus. Last night, we had a pot-luck dinner for all of the houses. We shared our funniest and best moments. Some of our funniest moments included Christmas in October, killing a roach with Lysol, and having campus security ring our doorbell at 1:00 AM. We thought that the best one was having security ring our doorbell in the middle of the night, scaring our house full of girls, all because someone left her lights on in her car.

Enjoying college life and looking forward to Thanksgiving break, Kristen

Argentina movie

I recently made this little movie as a part of my portfolio for the College of Education. I thought you all might enjoy it.

New Email Address

Just to let you all know, my email has changed to khatfield1751@andersonuniversity.edu. Supposedly, Anderson is updating the email system. My old email will still work, and I will check both of them until Nov. 1, 2007. After that, my old one will be removed or deleted, at least that's what the school has told us for now. Thanks.

College Life

It's nice to finally be back into the full swing of college life again. Homework, tests, socials, and trips. This month's fun things on the calendar: RUF Swing Dance Night (tomorrow!), RUF Conference (great worship, great fun), Homecoming, and a trip to Charleston, SC. College days don't last forever. I was talking with a friend of mine, and we wish we could spend all our time just being involved on campus without the responsibility of classes. That doesn't really work though. This year has already been a huge blessing living with five other girls in a house. We love it. Its great to have the fellowship of others as well as working together to reach out to our campus. We've already enjoyed the conveniences of the house to host several girls' nights and just spend time together.

Until later,
Kristen

Back to School

Its hard to believe I'm already back at school. It feels like summer passed quickly, yet it feels so long ago that I was moving out. Its funny how life seems so fast in one sense and in another so slow.

Well this year "college life" feels a little different than last. Mostly because there isn't all that first year nervousness and uncertainty. Also because I'm living in a little house with some friends. Its kind of like home but not really because it isn't really home. Things have already been interesting. For example, the air conditioning doesn't really work well - of course on one of the hottest days of the year.

I'm actually helping with orientation, so I'm here more than a week before classes start. I guess it gives time to get things organized and prepared.

Until later,
Kristen
