have i told you lately...

how incredibly excited I am for school?? Tonight I was really getting into my literacy and learning class and it dawned on me that I really am passionate about learning.

This is what it feels like to see again, to think, to explore, to wonder, to care....

Here I am at this school where I only dreamed I would be blessed enough to attend and I'm watching the sun linger behind palm trees by the law building during a class break. This school is so beautiful and the education program is one of the best. Every time I drive up to campus the sensation of wonder and thankfulness rushes back.

Enough with gushing.... Classes are really great so far. I'm especially excited for my Voice, Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice class because I feel like I'm on home territory with my sociology background where I'm struggling to understand the language that the liberal studies b/a's are fluent in. Tonight I definitely read an article called "The Importance of the Act of Reading" like a sociology student picking up on the author's discussion of the social and political impacts of literacy while my l.s. classmates paid more attention to the author's critiques of mechanical teaching strategies. Well, I found a fellow soc. grad. from Biola who I can talk about all that stuff with and maybe together we can translate all the ed. jargon.

Life is so good.
