Faithbook

Aside from my learning within my own life, school has been quite insightful, and I will share both sides of things in my post.

School

Debating can be fun, and learning journals, and crazy pink shirted lecturers who write books. It's about those moments when learning is not just remembering, but growing. I feel as though I have been going through some changes in the way I think of learning. I feel like as I sit in class with my fellow students and take in things I couldn't imagine me getting anything out of years ago. For one, I have learned that popularity can often be a bad thing, but popular people often know they are bringing attention to themselves, which often turns negative. Paparazzi are bastards. However, did they hire their own paparazzi to watch themselves? The man with the many haircuts, and parez hilton, just seem to be people who want attention and fame like the people they watch and follow. It is an odd cycle.
Turning points proved to be a fruitful experience. However, it seems that most of the turning points for the people in our class, were traumatic and often quite sad stories. Maybe there is music in the misery? Connection through tragedy.

On the socail front

I have noticed an improvement in my socail life. I care a little less and with that I am able to move past my insecuries and speak my mind. Besides a few harsh exceptions, I am making friends, and working towards a pretty decent future.
I find however, that my faith is something I have learned to be more interested in lately. Some woman in my life have been challanging me with ideas I havent thought about for some time, and it is with that, I have personally become curious once again. Can my faith be salvaged? Is there hope for every fallen man? Is it ok to care?

Short and pretty unsatisfactory entry for me today, but it has to be done.
