Soooooo,

This past week I have been so swamped with homework. It's making my head spin. For instance, I'm starting to confuse my schedule. Have you ever done that before? In retrospect, it's actually pretty funny.

I do have to say though that I am enjoying what I am learning, and therefore even though I'm stressed about deadlines and all that jazz I can appreciate the goodness of the work. Shhh, don't tell my professors. HAHA! One of the coolest things about school is when the material you are learning in your classes overlap or if you can make the correlations on your own. I LOVE when that happens in my class. Or it's also pretty sweet when you can apply what you learn in your class lectures to your everday life. I'm taking this Political Science course called Ancient and Medieval Political Thought (with Dr. Hammons, one of my FAVORITE professors here at HBU--and no, that's not for extra credit just in case he's reading this...he's actually really legit), but anyway we discuss about how the Ancient Greeks viewed politics and life and I can honestly say that the things I learn in that class I examine my own life with. My friend Christa and I will be talking about random things--boys, work, shopping, whatever...and somehow we find ourselves applying what we learned in Dr. Hammons lectures. It's funny. We catch ourselves saying "it's like Dr. Hammons said in class today.." LOL.

Does that make me a huge nerd? Frankly, I don't care :) The whole point of school is to learn and if I'm loving it...isn't that even more towards my benefit??

That's what I thought. ;) Keep up the good work, strive for excellence, and I hope to see you at HBU one day!!

Make it a great week!!
