So, I've heard that college students have a lot of free time to sleep and hang out.
Man, where is that college?
I'm back! It seems an age since I've made a significant post, but here it is. I've been BUSY BUSY BUSY!!! I'm the student government association freshman male chaplain. I tried out for the Shakespeare show. I am trying out in a couple days for the college show, The Mousetrap. I'm in men's choir. I'm in Camerata Singers, the select choir for freshman/sophomore music majors who aren't in (freshman can't be) the college choir. I'm taking private voice lessons. I have a job cleaning in my dorm, an hour a day. I'm playing JV soccer. I'm working at the church Wednesday nights with little kids. I have Bible study Thursday nights... twice. Oh yeah! I also have 18 hours worth of classes...
It's been great though. I'm glad that I can be so involved and doing so many of the things that I love to be doing all at the same time. Even just singing every day again is wonderful.
Not to mention the spiritual side of things. I miss my old church, to be honest. But chapel three times a week is a help, believe it or not. And then worship every Sunday nights is awesome! No, it can't ever take the place of POINT, but it helps. I have grown a lot just in having time to pray and worship more than normal, it has been great.
Classes though are kind of a drag. Biblical Lit is pretty good, but CP... I know most of it. Same with Western Civ. Last class we talked about Homer and the Iliad... Needless to say, I was totally lost the entire time.
Intro to Psych... Well, I've had multiple people tell me to drop it and take it with a different teacher that I'll enjoy learning it with. I'm tempted.
Greek has been easy so far because it's similar to Latin in the beginning, the ideas behind it. It'll pick up soon I'm sure, but it's language and I like it :)
Then Principles of Sociology. 25% of your grade is based on participation... Sound familiar? The teacher is really good and really energetic and I've really enjoyed it and have already learned a lot.
And then First Year Introduction. That's about all I'll say for that.
So quick recap - I'm busy. A lot. A lot.
But I like it that way :)
Well I have to get up for a game that we leave for at 9. I'm superexcited about that, let me tell you!
I havn't written anything since I got here. That saddens me greatly. So you get Shakespeare instead.
Sonnet 12
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
Or see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
Or sable curls all silvered o'er in white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd;
Or summer's green all girded up in sheaves,
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard;
Then of Thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of Time must go,
Since sweets and beauty do themselves forsake,
And die as fast they see others grow.
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defense,
Save breed to brave him when he takes thee hence.
