There is so much I want to say right now. I've been staring at a blank screen for almost 30 minutes, sorting through my mind and trying to find some cohesion of thought that would make any degree of sense. Self-understanding can be a difficult feat. Ironic how much self-consciousness and how little self-awareness can coexist.
Well, I am officially three weeks into my Masters program at UF, and (in a very small nutshell) here is what I've learned:
1. Sandals don't go well with a campus the size of Disney World.
2. The city bus is the most silent experience, second only to elevators.
3. Homeless guys deserve cigarettes too.
4. Anywhere from 4-9 hours of homework a day is normal.
5. Although I didn't realize it at the time, Southeastern is an insanely thick bubble.
6. Being salt and light is a much more difficult and messy task than I ever imagined.
7. Solomon was right. Nothing under the sun will satisfy. Get over the sun.
8. Grace means God loves you right now. Not some future you who finally gets it right.
9. I love my friends. A lot.
10. I need to update my blog more than once a month.
