Smile. It's easier than explaining why you're sad.
I thought it was time for an update, and a sad statement at what this world has continued to be.
Nothing to interesting going on in my life here. I seem to spend my days waking up to go to class, coming home for a short break, working out with Keith, eating lunch, taking a nap, watching tv/messing around on the net, dinner, homework, tv/reading/internet, then bed. It's not really too bad, but I feel like I'm missing a lot. I miss the companionship I get at school. Here in Wichita, I don't really seem to be in the loop anymore, in fact I'm not sure if I ever really was. I guess that's what I'm so glad I've done at school. I have gotten more into a loop. It's not huge, but it's enough for me. I don't always have to be the one asking someone else to do something, people come and ask me. hmm... interesting. I have about 3 1/2-4 weeks left here in Wichita, and the last week will probably be spent busily getting ready to leave. I'm actually quite amazed at how quickly this summer has gone. My class is going very, very well so far. Hopefully that will continue for the two tests and final that are left. I've made a 'calc' buddy in that class. He's a physics major at K-state and is fun to joke around with. But...life is going good. Many more up days, much fewer down days, things are looking up.
I can't wait until this coming year. I know I will be busting my ass to get everything I will need to get done, finished. However, I think I will enjoy most of it so much that I won't care about working hard. I just typed my schedule up into a calander I can put on my door for my residents, and I realized that my life will be spent in the science building this year. I start Monday-Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 8:30 in that building with Introduction to Quantitative Analysis, and then on Mon, Wed, Fri. I go straight from that lecture to Organic I lecture...what joys. And Tuesday...that's my Quant lab...4 fricking hours long...sigh! But hey, that's what I get for being a double major...where both majors are science...
Now I feel I must comment on what happened in London. It is such a tragedy. It is scary what extremists can justify. Those that caused these bombings did it in the name of Islam. But how is that supporting a religion that in general is very peaceful? The answer is, that it doesn't. It is scary how the majority of people take these extremists to be the representations of the ideals they are preaching. Sometimes I don't even want to tell somebody I'm a Christian, because I worry they think that I will condemn them if they do not believe the same thing as me. I don't know. I just wish people could accept that everyone is different, and that, everyone will believe in different things. The only way to convince someone that your beliefs may be right...is to show them. Show them, through the kindness of your actions and words, not through bigoted damnation of others...
hmm...just my thoughts for the moment. Love you all!
