Let's not study.
Roomie was here the past couple of days. It was really nice. She brought me some more clif bars, and my mom sent me trail mix...so I'm happy. :)
Roomie and I hung out Friday afternoon - had a picnic and then wandered around - Opera Garnier, Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysees, etc. Then we met up at the Louvre Saturday morning and made fun of art. We went to flunch for lunch and then went to Sacre coeur. I ended up going to dinner with her group because one of the guys decided not to come. Since they'd paid already, I ate his food. Afterward, she went to the Eiffel Tower and I went home, but we hung out a little at her hotel afterward. She gave me a massage! I love massages. :D And roomie. :P
I've been really amazed lately at how inconsiderate people can be. In high school, I thought it was just because we were young, but now as my peers and I are becoming adults, I realize that some people are just oblivious and/or rude.
I am glad that I have some trips coming up...with Ryan and roomie's vists over and home still 2+ months away, I need stuff to look forward to.
I just want to go back to my real life.
Alternative medicine is super interesting.
I have midterms on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday...and I am SO not motivated to study. ughhh. Monday's just the Sorbonne which will be easy, and it's just pass/fail anyway, so whatevs. Tuesday is IR. Studying for that shouldn't be too bad because I pay attention in class and really like it, so I just need to review specific facts and stuff. It's interesting, so that's fine. Wednesday, however, is Keanu's class. omg. I'm most anxious about that because, like, it's so hard...and BORING. I'm really not sure how I'll do in that class. I really think I might not do well. Then again, I think they grade more easily? idk. What a crappy class, though, seriously.
I should write some letters, too. Geoff got to hang out with sb because she came to LA for spring break. Jealoussss. :(
Church was really nice today. I wasn't fifteen minutes late like last week, so that was good. Also, we sang one of my favorite hymns. We also sang Amazing Grace, which is always lovely. I love hymns.
This morning, the three verses I read were all about boats. All I could think of was the "I'm on a Boat" song... D:
I'm started to get really excited about going to Taizé.
Recently, when I read scripture, it doesn't make any sense to me. Like, it's just...wtf? Sometimes I hate this process, this questioning, trying to see things from other perspectives. Realizing that the way you've grown up seeing things is not necessarily even close to how other people have grown up thinking about life and realizing that they have many of the same fundamental ideas and desires and tastes is difficult.
Christians are so often afraid of science - I think they should be afraid of history. Then again, if history is taught with us being the conquerers, the victorious, the bringers-of-civilization, I guess it's pretty safe. Also pretty untrue. But I guess your beliefs are safer if they are grounded in ignorance and fanatacism, so that works.
I don't want to study, I just want to listen to hymns.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
