I'm really enjoying all of them (one is a bit boring, I'll admit)
Collage and Mixed Media, International Security and Peace, Relgious Quest, Indigenous Politics of Latin America, Black and Green: Race and Environmental Justice.
Religious Quest: this class compares Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism. I've never been one for religion, which is why I put off the theology requirement so long. The good news is I think I took it at the perfect time in my life, and I'm getting really into Buddhism. It's a belief system I relate to. I feel like I really understand what it's getting at without having studied it at great length. I've been trying to meditate on my own, and it really makes me feel relaxed and at peace. I still can't block out thoughts, but I like the down time it gives me.
2. Apartment.
Living with Colin, Brittany, Ali, and Elizabeth...and I like that we all came back from studying in a different country. One think I especially like that we're doing is a meal system.
Every night, Sunday through Thursday, a different person makes dinner. And it has been working marvelously because then each person spends time making their dinner for the week. We save so much money doing it, and I feel we are eating really healthy food (or at least healthier than most people of campus). We want to take a picture before each meal to make a 1911 cookbook of sorts. Last Thursday I made chicken terriyaki with veggies, apples, and rice.
3. Work.
The exciting news is that I just got a job today! Until now I was just working one shift at Addies and have been feeling a bit bored of it (the free customized pizza is fantastic, but I've been working there since freshman year). So today I got a call back from this place called Moogies which is a restaurant about ten minutes from where I live. It'll be perfect because I have all my Wednesdays and Fridays free, and I can work on the weekends.
It just makes me feel more in balance to know that these things are going well. Every once in a while I feel overwhelmed by time and things going on in my daily life, but I feel like I have all the factors to be in a good place.
I could go into more detail, but it's a bit intimidating that this post can show up on someone's compy's newsfeed instantly.
I mean I'm kidding, but really.
love.love.love.
