Finals, but not mostly

I am completely done with finals! It's a pretty great feeling for sure. I feel quite elated and pleased. Just a big sigh. I now have time to relax for the next two days before I get to go HOME! Which is extremely exciting. Roommates are great. Sometimes we just have a great moment studying together in the kitchen in silence, or eating cookie dough right before bed and peanut butter and jelly, I make everyone try my rice pudding before they even think about leaving the kitchen, except Geoff because he never eats anything. What a silly little boy. It's almost 3 am and I've been chatting for that last 4 hours about. How great is that? I'll tell you...on a scale of 1 to 10, it's priceless. What a great way to spend our last night together before Christmas break. I wonder if I'll be able to fall asleep. Tonight I made rice pudding and watched Phantom of the Opera with Raquel, Laura, Brian, Adam, and of course Geoffery. Well, Adam only watched like a fourth of the movie before he ran out, and didn't come back till it was over so we'll have to watch it again next semester since he's actually never even seen it. Geoffery, spell check dislikes your name. 


For the last lecture of American Heritage, one of the clips we watched was of 9/11. It was probably the most touching one I've ever seen. Tears were streaming down my face and my heart beat loud. I am at a loss for words now. I really don't know how to describe the feeling and give it justice. It made me proud to be an American, and I feel the suffering from that dreadful day in history. It is even more significant to me because it has happened in my lifetime. God was there to uplift those fallen souls. 


I really love learning and I love that I gain so much knowledge in my classes that I never knew before, or that I see through a different light now. It is amazing really to learn the American Heritage through the eyes of someone spiritual. I think deeper thoughts and appreciate science, for real. I feel like I really didn't understand anything until I learned it from this perspective. Life makes sense, evolution makes sense, the universe makes sense, people's ideas and motives make sense. Well, as much as any of those things can make sense to a young college freshman experiencing things in a different light for the first time in her school career. I feel I am able to understand things more as God intends for me to understand them, rather than how the world does. I've learned so much about science and creation, and evolution through a more spiritual light that I am willing to listen now, willing to understand, it is now amazing to me, not just something the world expects me to believe because it is proven fact, but so much more added to that. I usually tried to avoid talking of those subjects with others because I really didn't know much and understood even less, but everything I've learned in school up to now makes so much better sense in my mind because I see it through a different light. I'm not really sure if I'm even explaining this in a comprehensible way, but it sure makes sense to me.


So there's this boy..........and that's all that needs to be known. ;)
