Wow. I have to say, I was not in the least prepared to be as busy as I am this year. Those older than me always seem to say how Junior year is so much more difficult than Senior year. I am finding this to be true, especially as I look at my calendar (I've never used a calendar before, now I am all about it) and see how packed my days are. Of course there's a bit of room in there for hanging out, but its very difficult to even find friends who are free at the same times as I am. I've been to a lot of meetings, done a lot of planning, been to several convocations for the Humanities Symposium (I'm in the course of the same title, so I have to be very involved in i), and of course there's class.

While I am enjoying my time being busy, I also enjoy my time being unrushed. I've taken to sitting in the belltower and praying for at least a half hour. While I try to do it every day, a few times a week is more like it. But I love that there is a peaceful center to our campus admist all the craziness going on.
