First Week of OL

So I have arrived here at Columbia Bible College, and things have been pretty interesting so far. Already we are pretty loaded down with reading and assignments, and we have only just started. We start our first aid training tomorrow, and it sounds like it will be pretty intense. We have also started a physical training program, where our first job was a light 5.75 km. Eventually, in second semester, they will have us working on a similar program as that of the Navy Seals. No jokes, thats what they said.
Today, we played around with radios, learned about tide line and charts, learned how to keep a log book, and played with stoves. The stoves was really cool, because we had an MSR Dragonfly that wasn't working, so we ended up taking the thing completely apart, and then putting it back together again. What better way to show us how it works. By the way, it did get fixed.
I have met lots of people so far, though it is difficult as of yet to maintain any kind of internet use, since we don't have access to computer labs yet. In any case, I'm looking forward to the upcoming coastal trip.
And I'm out.
