Classes already

Yes it is true I have started back to classes already. I could not believe my eyes when I got around to registering for classes. In the three years previous that I have been at Grace I can not remember classes ever starting back this soon, but low and behold they did this year. It is a double edged sword heading back to classes. One because I wish I could have had a little more time to unpack (which is not entirely done yet) and recoup a little from all the travel. The other because it was really good to see old friends and get a chance to catch up on the time I have been gone. To see so many familiar faces and smiles has been a good way to get back into the swing of school.

It was weird that even though I am back to class with all that comes along with that I feel I am able to relax more here than I could when I was doing absolutely nothing over in Israel. I am not sure how to explain it, I tried to explain it to my roommate and don't think it worked so well. but I will try again, I think it has something to do with being comfortable in your surroundings. Even though I was in Jerusalem for three month and got to know my way around a little I was never comfortable with my surroundings as I am back here in Omaha. So even though I am a little busier than I was there I am able to relax more and enjoy what I am doing because I am more comfortable where I am. If that makes any sense you can read between lines well.


So far the class has been amazing. I am taking 1 & 2 Samuel as a winter session class and it is awesome, because I actually just finished reading through both books in December fully for the first time ever. So it was kind of amazing that I could walk right back into school and take a class on those two books. I also got registered for the Spring Semester and placed my book order. It amazes me every time at how expensive education is. Many times it almost doesn't seem worth the price tag that goes with the diploma. Well, I better get back to the homework I should be doing instead of rambling away. God Bless you all.
