say something

*deep breath* i am back at school now, and i’m really enjoying my place. i love cooking my own food, and i get to sew a lot, which is really amazing. life is just so lovely. i have really nice friends. i was so sad to leave molly and rebekah and carrie at home. my friends all inspire me. doesn’t that make me such a lucky person? as much as i don’t like the idea of colleg and the artificial suspension it puts on life, i do love my classes. we talked about yeats this morning in modern poetry. i always feel a little like a fraud when i don’t get anything out of a poem until we discuss it in class. you should read the lake isle at innisfree it’s very beautiful. we read an interview on Bono for my interdisciplinary christian thought class (yeah i’m so spoiled to get to take classes like this) and i was really inspired by his authenticity. mostly i want to really do things, instead of just thinking and talking about them. i guess that’s what i cook and sew for, but as for the rest of things i don’t really know where to start. we covenanted with nexus community church sunday night, and went to wednesday night prayer meeting for the first time. we have found a wonderful family there. maybe i will invite shawna and joanna over monday, or maybe we’ll go to hastings to talk. it’s no barnes and noble, but i think that you can think of smarter things when you are surrounded by books. at least i feel something special when i’m there. i am going to try and write for the school newspaper, and i want to write a proposal to the board of education about the need for a christian based university to provide a major in family and consumer sciences. our family unit here in the united states is struggling so much, we really need people with a good working knowledge of biblical principles to be in the business of family education. i have so many ideas and thoughts about things going on in the world that i feel like i have about half of the pieces of a dozen puzzles and don’t even know where to go from here. maybe some of you understand too.
