Well I have a few more minutes before I really have to buckle down and study, so I figured I could write a little something. I have so much to talk about and there has been so much going on, I don’t want to cram it all into one post, so I’ll just write a few of them about the recent events the past week or two. First of all, school. School is crazy right now. There is constant reading and studying going on, and little time for rest. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to study throughout the week and how to prioritize the different assignments and reading material throughout the week. This week we had a 3 page reflection paper due in Sophomore Seminar (a class we have to take in order to take upper level Christian studies courses), reflecting on 3 essays we read. They all dealt with education, and having an educated mind, and I must say they all had a great impact on Cory and I. And most importantly, it’s so awesome that in this class we relate the reading to Christianity and the pursuit of not only knowledge, but of God Himself. I will have to save all we’ve learned in that class for another post, it would take too long to write about it all right now. But all in all, we are learning so much in all of our classes. And it’s not just random stuff, it’s information that creates the history of our faith. Everything we learn somehow ties into our ultimate goal of seeing God face to face and it is so awesome to be in this setting. On top of the paper, I had an Old Testament quiz yesterday, Cory and I both had a New Testament test today, and tomorrow we have a Greek test. So we have an absolutely crazy week, to say the least. We’ve had quizzes in both New Testament and Greek, but we are experiencing our first tests this week. Greek definitely demands the most out of us, and requires hours and hours of studying. On top of learning the vocabulary, there are so many rules and endings and just things to know. It’s hard, and requires a lot, but its worth it (well sometimes it doesn’t feel like it).
But school overall is going very well. Daily we take in so much information and our minds are being filled with tons of knowledge, from the greatest professors there could be. It’s going to be interesting to see how the rest of the semester plays out, we’ve learned so much in just this past month of being in school, I can’t imagine what more our minds can have packed into them. Should be fun!
