Yesterday began the day of acclimating to my new university life experience.
It was funny how right it all seemed. I had no real understanding as to what was ahead of me, even despite having lived through a freshmen year. I'd never really been inside Helaman Halls, my new dorm complex. I had to reorient myself with the massive construction overhauls that built new buildings and destroyed certain roads. I had to figure out where all the new offices were. I had to remind myself how to log on to the wifi. I had to check in at a new central building, and I have absolutely no idea what my job is really going to be like come when I start Monday.
Despite the unknown, however, I was confident. I felt sure. I'm sure a lot of my readers don't know I seriously considered not coming back to BYU so I could go live in the mission field and have the opportunity to share the gospel with others, which will be far more difficult, if not impossible, here considering the demographics. I knew this was a big life decision, so when I knelt down and prayed about it, I prayed so hard I thought my bones might melt into the floor. I just felt ... peaceful about coming here. And so I came, and even though I was bumbling through at times, I still felt confident and peaceful.
Let's do this.
