ah, I must clear up my last clouded, emotional post.
Here's the deal: it is the end of the semester and everyone is feeling like we only have one more week to get to know each other (or at least those of us studying off campus next semester) and yet we all have a bunch of work to do for finals and wrapping up the end of the semester academic work. So, while we want to be with other people what we really need to do is focus on academics (yet still being an encouragement to one another and refreshing each other with a bit of joviality).
I have this crazy opportunity right now to just sit around, read books, have conversations about the books I read, and connect all that I am learning to the Christian life. . . and I yet I tend to forget how incredible of an opportunity this is. I am feeling so grateful for this experience right now, and I am excited to reflect on all that I have learned this semester before I get nice break.
(p.s. it is raining right now. rain always makes me want to stay inside and read with a cup of warm something-or-another, so what better time for rain in sunny California than the weekend before finals?)
