Start again, cramming more mis­ cellaneous stuff into the con­ fines of the four walls. All you can do is stand and stare; it’s a weird feeling. Suddenly the adrenaline shoots throughout your system, and everything moves into high gear. New people, countless names, tons of papers, and a jumble of anticipations are all being processed in a brain that hasn't done any mental math for 3 months. But hey, it’s cool - it’s college! Over the course of the next few days, meetings and orien­ tations fill the schedule. Then, classes commence and the Bible Content test rem­ inds you why you are here

and makes you wonder if you / / could ever learn all that infor­ mation. A new way of life be- / gins. Gone are the afternoon wake up calls and the lacka­ daisical lifestyle of summer. You settle into a schedule with quiet time, classes, work, studying, and meeting new people. Just when it seems as though you can’t take in any­ more data, someone points out that tomorrow is "Fun Day." Monday dawns warm and sunny, and although you can feel the excitement rising in the air, you are a little cau­ tious. All of your defenses are soon gone, as you join in the laughter and hilarious games

of the day. Y'es friends, I bet you never thought Human Foosball, or spinning around on the head of a bat and try- / ing to run 25 feet while look­ ing through the small end of an orange cone could be so enjoyable. It’s a riot as people all around you are dropping to the ground, either from sheer vertigo or uncontrolla­ ble laughter. You will never look at the soccer field the same way again. From that day on, you begin to realize that Word of Life is a place where good times are always to be had, and that good, clean fun isn’t a thing of the past.
