the beginnings of stress?

i hope not.

i have been doing homework this week. it makes me realize how much i miss when i don't do homework. and, it makes me feel as though i am thoroughly behind in everything and there is no way to catch up. but, i do appreciate the engagement of my mind that has happened more recently this week. i have learned something very important though: i have lost the ability (if i ever had it!) to focus and really learn from an hour long lecture while sitting in an uncomfortably warm room surrounded by 150 other students. if you've ever read 'a new kind of christian', the main character describes what his ideal seminary would look like. i just have to say that i'm totally for what he proposes. alas, i do not have time to explicate it for you now because i have to study a bit for greek, revise my speech, and maybe finish the cone reading for this week. but maybe someday i will tell you what it's all about and why it's appealing. or, you could just go read the book.
