I just finished my re-orientation for working in the library this semester so that was nice...Right now I'm continuing to write my papers and I plan to talk with my professors today about previous course work and what to expect from now on...I'm making headway, which is great, but I still have to work on things...Please pray for me as I work towards totally finishing my Incompletes for the past semester in this upcoming week...Lord willing, I will be able to focus solely on this new semester soon!
