First Day Of College

This morning first thing, I had a Chiropractic appointment at 9am.   I had a Music Appreciation class from 11am – 12:15pm -> however that class was canceled due to the Solar Eclipse.    Anyways I liked the Chiro a lot more than my previous one.   This guy actually massaged muscles, told me what, why and where he was doing thing (more so than the previous guy).  The Chiro doctor gave me some exercises to do and explained where we wanted to get to (what’s normal for people) and where I actually was (very behind in my movement abilities).    Also, the Chiro Doctor suggested that I come in 2 times a week for 15 minutes for an adjustment.  Unfortunately, I don’t think insurance covers that as my insurance isn’t connected with this office.   Therefore each visit will be $40, plus any other things that come up.    I am hoping that this will help a lot in all the pain that I have. -> I have frequent hip pains, low/mid back pains (and some upper back pains), and primarily neck pains.  I feel pain in my neck 90-95% of the time I am awake.  I’ve gotten use to some of the pain, though it is still there.  But I can’t move my neck much at all without feeling pain spike.    I am hoping and praying that this Chiro doctor can help.  

This afternoon I got to go outside and watch the Solar Eclipse.   The Schlipfs (relatives that I am living with) had purchased 4 pairs of Solar Glasses, but Bethany and Jesses found that their college gave them to them for free, so they had an extra for me to have.  God is so good!  He always provides.     Though we were not in the direct line of the Solar Eclipse, we were able to see most of it, well it was a 93% Eclipse.   The outside felt like it became a bit darker, and the crickets started to chirp a lot more.  But I was disappointed that it wasn’t much darker.  I had expected that since only 7% of the sun was shinning, that it would be quite dark outside.  NOPE!   It just shows how powerful the sun is – it was also a lot cooler outside too.  

This evening I attended my first college class, Biology.    The class runs every Monday and Wednesday this semester from 6PM to 8:20PM.  Though tonight it got out over an hour early! Yeah!    I’ve been reading through all the syllabui for this semester, and I am finding that I will have lots of reading to do.  I am expecting that I will have 60-100 pages to read out of textbooks per week.    That I am not looking forward to.  However I am praying that God will give me an excitement about school this year.  That He will give me a passion and a desire grater than chillaxing to be doing school and homework.    I don’t want the stress, worry and anxiety that comes with all this, so I am asking Him to give me a joy in it, so it is more enjoyable than blah!
