Back 2 School
So tomorrow marks another change in life's pace, and so I felt like I should write it down.
This summer seemed so long, and so short at the the time. (Cliche)
It seems like eons ago I was working at Chrysler, and I'm so glad I took the remaing 4 weeks off and got some time for myself.
Camp was amazing. Just having Antwan in my cabin made it all worth it. I hope that kid doesn't get spoiled as it's not very often I can look to a 9 year old as an inspiration, but he is. No matter what he does, he's always happy and carries this joy around with him. I need to figure out a way to make sure he can return to camp. Camp was made for kids like him.
Then there was a week off, well, kinda a catch up week.
Then Nordhouse Dunes. I cannot describe here how great is was to backpack along Lake Michigan with a bunch of old and new friends. Thank you Trek and UM Dearborn. I have the "Man Journal" to look back upon about that though.
This semester I have a few goals.
I want to start working out again, be it running or lifting, on a regular basis. I feel so much happier and get more done after I exercise, and so this would help me improve my life.
I want to go to church more often. I missed church a lot this summer, and going back the last two weeks made me realize how I miss it.
I want to continue to be enthused about the SAB. It's getting a little harder over the summer, but hopefully when people return I'll be pumped again. Let's get the anti-social campus to have fun.
I want to do more volunteer work. It's always rewarding.
I want to keep in touch with people more. Last Fall brought the end to a lot of relationships I had built and just left . There are friends I've met and re-met this summer that I want to get to know better, even if they're miles away.
I want to stay ahead of my classwork. I know this won't happen, but hey, minus will set the goals high.
Father Pat made a really good point Sunday. Saying we are Christians automatically means that we are hypocrites, for in order to be a Christian we must set the bar higher than obtainable.
I think I might be ready for this semester to start... maybe...
