Back 2 School
I love school. Really.
Weird, I know. But…it is sort of the same feeling I have when I am on an airplane, something like this:
“I might not enjoy the whole ride, but it is a good view and man, am I lucky to be in the top 10% of the world population that will actually get this experience.”
Oh. I looked it up. Wikianswers says only 1% of the world population has a chance to go to college. Dang. I rode my bike to school today, and realized I must be in the top less than that population of people who don’t have to ride their bike because they have a car, but can because they have the time.
I especially love college when:
* Free ice cream. And other random free stuff–they just keep handing me things.
* I know people. Dang, I actually ran into more than a dozen people I know already.
* Tap dancing doesn’t seem impossible like when Fred and Ginger do it.
* My health teacher says “You already have an A, just don’t screw it up.”
* My Sociology teacher says we can write about ourselves and our deliquency.
* My fencing teacher said I did a good advance and recover (yeah fencing!!!)
I was sitting in Philosophy class (listening, of course) when I made a pie graph of what I’ve been living for lately, and the time spent living for those things:
15% Living Stones/Brazil
5% The unknowns, wondering “if”
5% Single/not single issues
15% God things
35% Becoming a better teacher/writer/student/person
25% Caring/sharing in relationships/people in my life
Or something like that. The pie graph looked more interesting. But I don’t know how to do it on xanga. Anyways…All that to say…it is nice to be back in school. This is the first time in school that I am not working (although volunteering at the youth center–I can’t manage to stay all the way away) and have some time to check out student activities and such. There are quite a few Christian organization that will be interesting to check out.
I can’t believe I will graduate in December.
Pre-warning: the plan is to leave for Brazil in January, meaning I will not walk/graduate cap-and-gown style. So…big party or something?? Speaking of which…it is my birthday Thursday. Don’t forget me:)!

I really like the idea of making the pie graph. (I suspect you may have learned more from that than the lecture.
) Perhaps you may want to ask a close friend for his/her assessment of you as well.
Happy Birthday in advance (in case I forget).
@naphtali_deer - thank you:). i am sure you are right!
