I'm watching, or rather listening to an episode of Gilmore Girls, trying to write this blog, writing a list for tomorrow, on Facebook in between, and researching for a paper. I'm definitely back at school. For some reason whenever I sit down to do homework, it takes herculean effort for me to stay on one task. I'm excited for the prospects at this new school. My classes have a little less than 20 people in each, enough to have good discussions without having too many people.
The first class of the day got me very excited. Each person was asked to share what area of psychology they are studying or will go into. From the 16 people in the room 14 different answers were given. From hospitals to forensics, advertising to counseling, education to abnormal psych- there are just so many opportunities and interesting fields to choose from.
I do miss having friendly faces at school. I'm not an outgoing person and getting the courage to initiate a conversation may take a little while. It was a fairly good first day anyway. The best part was sitting in the chapel. I was waiting for mass (which didn't happen, for whatever reason) and had a great sense of peace. The door was open, I could hear all the hustle and bustle of the cafeteria, but it was quiet. That moment put my day into focus. This is a great opportunity, a chance to start over, try again at college and do it right. And part of doing it right is finding a way to live my faith out at this college. Finding my niche and making a difference. So as I adjust to the crazy, multitasking, early mornings, late nights of college life again, I'm keeping that purpose in mind.
Pax Christi!
