Wow–I cannot believe that tomorrow will mark the end of my second week already…amazing.

I have been SO busy–which is normal–but what’s unique about this is that I have actually been READING for my classes…I don’t know what’s wrong with me!

*For those of you who don’t know me, the past year was difficult for me as

far as reading/studying were concerned–partly due to health problems that

greatly inhibited my mental clarity and retention of information. So, I tended

to not read if I didn’t have to (and I really didn’t read much at all!)

I have been reading everything assigned–and now that three more of my books have arrived, I am even playing “catch-up” from this past week. God has TRULY answered my prayer for motivation!

And, as well, He has granted my desire to actually apply what I have learned. In my International Relations class today I participated, and actually stood my ground in an informed way…and it felt so good!

I think that my senior year is going to be my best–which is wonderful! Now if only I can pull a 4.0 this semester, so that I can graduate cum laude…we’ll see!

Back to reading Plato and other “fun” works…:)
