SHould be in bed...
Man, I should be in bed right now. But I am just SO sublimely happy. I had to write! Things at Div School are going above and beyond my expectations (which isn't all that incredible, I guess, because my expectations were pretty low :-) ). But seriously, I know I've only been there three days, but I just love it. It is the most progressive, diverse, and nurturing environments I've ever been in. I definitely don't expect it to be that way forever, but man...I'll treasure it right now. I'm in a list mood right now, so I'll just go with it:
-I believe in God
-I believe that I was called to work in the field of ministry (believe me, this is a HUGE step...I definitely wasn't feeling it a week ago)
-I believe that sunny days mean something special
-I believe that "Here I am, Lord" is the most beautiful hymn I've ever heard
-I believe in the power of board games...they are the best way to make new friends
-I believe that I should really never worry ever again about my ability to make new friends
-I believe that religion can be a beautiful, beautiful thing
-I believe that religion, when misunderstood and used incorrectly, can be one of our world's greatest problems
-I believe that I am seeing religion being misunderstood all around me
-I believe that PSR will teach me how to change that
-I believe that St. Olaf was the most divine place I've ever been in my life
-I believe that I spent too much time dissing the St. Olaf caf
-I believe I should say a prayer for my safety every time I try to eat the food at the PSR caf
-I believe that every college/university should be wireless enabled
-I believe that it was really freakin convenient to have wireless access AND computers wherever you turned in Rolvaag library
-I believe that the GTU library realllllly needs to learn from Rolvaag
-I believe I've come to expect certain amenities because of all the perks St. Olaf provided us
-I believe it's a kick in the ass to realize in the real world you have to pay for gyms, crappy food, and libraries where you can't sign on to the internet whenever you want
-I believe that the people I'm going to grad school with will be some of the bravest people I've ever encountered
-I believe that making friends takes time when you don't have JC's around to help the process along ;-)
-I believe that I can't think of anything more fun to do on a Thursday night than go to a gay/lesbian club in Oakland with my fellow first year MDiv students
-I believe that over the next 3 years my whole life is going to change a lot
-I believe it won't always be easy
-I believe that it won't be better
-I believe that it won't be worse
-I believe that I will miss St. Olaf every step of the way
-I believe that God has decided it's time for my life to be different
So yeah...sorry for the psedo-poetics, it was unintentional. I just needed to vent all the things that I'm feeling. Miss you and love you all!!!
