The Education of Carrie H.
So, I've decided that WMU sucks. Well, I kinda always knew that it wasn't the greatest college in the world, but i'm really discouraged right now. But, I'm making myself turn my rotten bananas into banana bread. I am annoyed that I always look back and think about what might have happened if I had planned better while I was dual enrolling in high school, or if I'd had the chance to just enter and stay at one college for my whole career. How might my life have been different. But then I think about my friends, my life, and my work and decide i'm just overthinking things (my brothers voice runs through my head "stop thinking so much, care!"- and yet he does the same thing.) anyways, if i really want to get something out of my college life i'm going to have to out in more effort than the crappy busy work that a lot of profs try to pass off as an education. There's a book that I want to get from fcs that discusses the Christian symbolism and lessons from a lot of classical fiction. I'm also going to reread a lot of Christian writing with more of a purpose of seeing what is really good, and what is really poorly written. Right now, I'm on a big C.S. Lewis kick. I'm also making myself write for at least 7 hours a week (ideally 1 hour per day, but some of you know my schedule know that will never happen) so if you see me slacking off be sure to get on my case, or if you want to read something that I've written just ask, or go to faithwriters.com( i should have some stuff there soon), 'cause i really need to get used to constructive criticism- please keep in mind that the operative word here is constructive. Well, I need to get some sleep so i can get a good start tomorrow on one of my 30billion group projects.
Quote Prince Caspianfrom C.S Lewis- "Am I not to know?"
"To know what would have happened child?" said Aslan. "No. Nobody is ever told that." "Oh dear," said Lucy. "But anyone can find out what will happen..."
