Colegio: Day 3 (oh, college!)

Things today that have made me say that...

Girls covering guys dorms in sticky notes
Random cupcake givers
Comparing death and sex (by a religion teacher wtf)
Conversations about Megan Cleaveland with strangers
Amazing cookies
Watching Lord of the Rings with my roommate

So as you can see, today has been interesting. I have officially signed up for a religion class, Intro to Christian Themes, something I hope to know a little about. Also, on a whiny note, I hurt my hand by stabbing it on an acorn. An ACORN. Simpson squirrels are out to get me now, I swear. We (my coloqium class) went to the Village, an old people home, and we took the residents of the memory care ward out for a walk, and it was depressing. My resident, Phyllis, could barely remember questions I was asking her. She would trail off during sentences, or even switch the subject she was talking about. It was upsetting to me, because she was such a nice woman. During their devotion time, she sung songs without the hymnal book, and she had a lot of fun. I was glad that she was able to remember the songs she was singing, and I thanked God for the small mercy in her life. It was so sad to see this woman in a state like that, but she was completely oblivious. We had a discussion afterwards about things we found out. Madie, a Junior supervising the class, said that the only reason the woman she had came out was because we were Simpson kids. She had lost her husband a month ago, and she had essentially all but given up. Sometimes, I think that I complain too much when really it's not a big deal.

Wow, I just realized how much of a downer this post is becoming. Anyway, after that I switched my classes, swapping Education for Intro to Christian Themes, and Western Civ for Humanities. Aparently, everyone wants Humanities classes, because they are epic. I'm excited, because I swooped in and nabbed it within the first 5 minutes of it being open. I'm a class ninja. I came back to my dorm and passed out, literally, reading my bible. I at least sub-consciously saved my place with my face though. I slept from 2 until 5:20, when I rolled out of bed and managed to make it to the SSS Cook-Out. It was good food, and I talked to a new person.

I feel like it's worth mentioning how little I've been eating lately. I feel on the verge of anorexia. Today, I didn't have lunch. It was TERRIBLE. Anyway, complaining aside, I am coming to realize I am uber picky. But, I digress.

But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Micah 7:7


Yeah, I would definitely like for Jesus to come back today, but... I suppose college is a nice spot to wait.
