I did it
Good news. I made it through a week without hating school. That means this weekend is going to be even better than all of the others. College is so much more than just the classes. I think what I am learning in my classes is trivial to what I am learning in general. I am living by myself and I am 100% completely responsible for everything. It can be stressful at points, but I love it.
On the same note, I was also thinking about my Jewish Identity. Anyone who knows me, knows I am not very observant but I love the identity and culture of it. Here at college, there are no parents to try to push religion on you (not that my parents ever did) but I realized that being Jewish is what I want to be. It is my heritage and I get angry to see people just throw it away.
In general though, things have been great here. I am starting to hate AEPi football, but I love going to the practices because the guys are cool. I honestly think we have one of the best pledge classes ever. I am planning on starting the weekend off right tonight so I should go get my Homework done. Tomorrow Shabbat Dinner at Hillel. Anyone else in? (I think the real question is does anyone form U of I even read my LJ?). This weekend might be kind of slow because it is sorority RUSH here but we will make the best of it (and get with the girls while they are depressed and vulnerable).
-Peace
