sevenweeksofcollege.

i was given a serious dose of college two weeks ago:  i took a biology practical and scored a 57%. i also took an exercise and wellness test that covered eight chapters worth of material: i got a 93% on that.  college is both extremely easy and super hard, and it's that combination that puts studying into a feast or famine perspective.

amidst the chaos of studying--err, cramming--i found great peace and solitude in the music and the weather that i exposed myself to. i had worship music playing at a reasonable volume nearly 24/7, and i felt extremely refreshed the entire time. oh! i'll talk about the idea of being refreshing in a sec. the only times that i didn't have music playing was during class or during meals, the latter of which were all enjoyed out of doors. the weather has been absolutely gorgeous the past week or so, and i love seeing how much of a positive impact the weather has been having on all of us.

i'm a boy, i'm a christian, i'm a freshman in college, and these three factors provide the basis for most of my opinions and perspectives.

i only started looking forward to college once the final weeks of summer rolled in. toward the beginning of august, i suddenly felt like i was in this limbo state between where i had been and where i needed to be. it was extremely unsettling and i felt an intense need for change. i needed something drastic to change the course of my daily living, and college was just the thing.
