Well we just got back our Greek test monday and I recently had an Old Testament (OT) test today. It has been a pretty relaxing week so far. Except learning third declension nouns for Greek….dont even get me started. But anyway Me and Sarah made B’s on the test which here is 85-95. I know. It Stinks. But anyway, this month so far has been a good one.
There is so much stuff going on at school…whether flag football, which i can’t get enough of, or studying all day because it is a lifestyle. And I wonder about people who fail at school and do not get good grades. It is not becuase it is impossible by any means, it is becuase people put other things before thier education. And I’m just not sure how did that happen. Where did it start. How did we come from where people would die to go to college and learn and where learning became something that is so prestigious, to where now, it is cooler to stay up all night to cram for a mid-term.We call them nerds now, those who study and enjoy the aspect of studying, but back then they were the highest of the high. They were looked up to.And, I might be talking out of ingornance but, thats the way I see it.
People put other stuff ultimately in front of studying. I know that I dont…because I will be paying thousands of dollars for this education. I know people who would rather go to an event, or barley get by, then to actually learn the stuff given to them. And no, it is not impossible, unless you are trying to understand the mind of God fully. Which is completely impossible, but we can get glimpse.
So as you can probably see, education is on the mind right now. Just having this Sophomore Seminar class really does open up your mind to see the beauty of education and how it points to glorifying God. I am so excited to be learning what I am learning. The tools to educated. I want to take what I am learning and use it. I dont want to horde it just to show how much I know, I want to use this and teach others.
Sometimes it is as though I would rather sit inside and study, than to go out and hang out with people. I know that sounds pretty weird, but I LOVE what I am studying. Espically in the New Testament. Just learning what every thing means and the background. Its amazing.
But overall I am doing great. The things I am learning are drawing me more and more into my relationship with Christ. I dont really have much else to say.
