It has been requested that I update, so here goes:
It is so nice to finally be settling down for the evening. I'm tired of rambles in the bitter cold. I have spent time in colder weather, but there was something about today that was particularly numbing. Perhaps it is merely the chilling effect of my creation/evolution class. I hadn't anticipated more than the customary squabbling that corresponds with such controversial issues - I was wrong. I hate that course. I hate it for the way it makes me feel at the end of the day. Ah well. Even at my lowest points, when surveying creation, I cannot deny what I have always known. I view this class as an opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone, approaching both Creationist and Evolutionist ideals with open-mindedness. I understand that all individuals base their beliefs on what they consider to be well-formulated opinions, and while I might not agree, I have to respect that. I am looking forward to the task of building informed arguments for both sides of the issue, and I hope to see if/how the two views can coincide.
That class, HEA, and SAI currently rule my life. Haha. I don't really mind, though...I'm perfectly content in the self-imposed madness. I can't wait until the end of this week, however, because it will signal the beginning of some much-needed down time.
I'm excited about so many things in my life right now...most of them insignificant little things. "The best things in life are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things..."
Over the past two weeks, I have been observing my friends and noting changes that have taken place. Everyone seems to have grown so much within just a short span of time. I think it is finally starting to hit everyone that this is it - this is your life. We are standing on the brink of something that is beyond comprehension...the edge of years that will determine so much in regards to who we will be...what we want to become.
