Here are a few things I wish I had blogged about, but forgot/was too lazy to do so:
- I watched all six seasons of Lost this spring just in time for the finale. A lot of people were upset about the lack of questions answered but I contend that it makes more sense when the prior seasons are in your head and even more importantly in light of the sin/redemption themes in C.S. Lewis' Perelandra. Genius.
- Being busy is not the answer to boredom.
- Being bored is not the answer to busyness.
- Kiva.org (and micro-loaning in general) is fantastic. Micro-loans allow those in poverty to get a jump start on helping themselves rather than making them dependent on (potentially) degrading hand-outs. I started lending on Kiva this summer and when I give once a month, the money gets paid back so that I can keep lending.
- MAHE is great because
- I get to work with DAs and DCs
- Classes are relevant and classmates are rarely slackers
- Teaching a Foundations of Christian Thought discussion group rocks
- Being co-hall-director in Berg for January
- I will lead a Spring Break trip to Russia (!)
- MAHE is not great because
- Thesis looms
- Group projects are confusing
- Sometimes I don't know what I'm really supposed to be doing
- Conferences (blah)
- Thesis looms
I'm leading a Spring Break missions trip to Russia through Taylor this spring, so if you once kept up with my missions blog, it's getting going again, so check it out!
