The Student Life

I never thought I'd become a student again after college. I'm no longer used to it having completed an undergrad 2 years ago. I guess the saying "never say never" appropriately applies here.

I stayed up until 3 AM last night working on a paper for a history class. I haven't done that in years. Although I didn't have to finish it last night, I felt like completing the paper anyway. It felt really good to place the final punctuation mark and sit back after a job well done--a sensation I haven't experienced in a long while.

Classes in the past 3 weeks have been very academic in nature. I'm learning a lot of stuff but most of it is really just for head knowledge. I'm trying to juice out as much practical stuff as I can from the lessons but there's really not much. I hope all my classes aren't like that. I'm really interested in learning things that will directly affect my ministry.

I had to wear several layers of clothes to school today. Tonight's outside temperature was a whopping 4 degrees Celsius. And so I put on a shirt, a sweater, and a jacket to escape the cold. I even turned on the heater in the car. The cold isn't so bad yet. I heard though that when the real winter strikes, it can get a bit crazy over here.
