So I just finished lunch and I sit here with a mound of homework in front of me. I can't seem to force myself to quite do it yet because the food coma from all this delectable dining room food is finally getting to me. This first week of classes we are being thrown to the lions with our schedule. It goes as follows:
8:30-10 Integrative Seminar
1015-1145 Intro to Teaching
130-4 Intro to Middle School
8-10pm Intro to Computer in Edu.
10-1030 Daily Mass
I have some breaks in there as you can see but those are adequately being filled with homework, eating, bathing, questioning my existence, and the occasional resting of my eyes. Yesterday was the first full day of the classes and I am already questioning whether or not someone is playing a joke on me and there was actually two or three days crammed into "Yesterday."
But alas, in this sea of complaints I want to assure everyone that I am having an incredible time with some awesome people. The classes are engaging and don't feel so long. The teachers are passionate and give me something to aspire to be. The homework is by no means busy work and truly helps me learn the material. I am starting to learn all the little Notre Dame traditions so I can make this place feel like home.
I miss everyone dearly at home but be assured I have made the right decision to come here.
Also, we were asked to come up with our message that we wanted to convey to the students today. I am still thinking of what to use but I am open to suggestions.
Today, a day I feel exceptionally impatient for the future, I leave you with this for the day, a quote from St. Anthony of Padua:
"You must wait. Do not be anxious. Do not worry. Do not look around at the things others have gained for themselves or that I have given them. Do not look at the things you want. Just keep looking at Me or you will miss what I want to show you. And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you would ever dream of."
