Siting with a workload of homework and listening to the teacher just dish out more has the same effect on me. Yet this semester I find myself excited and upbeat about school. Usually by now I'm already through with trying to set up schedules about when I need to write this paper and do this quiz, but so far with this new semester I find myself thoroughly intrigued by my classes and able to keep up with the workload. This semester I've finally figured out what I want to major in! Linguistics! Yes, I've decided that my passion lies with the art of languages. I've immensely enjoyed learning ASL, which now I'm finishing up, but now I've found an intrigue for Japanese too! Yes, it's hard, but I find myself walking into class excited and ready to learn. I still make mistakes but I feel excited to learn from them. I wish that that can be the way of life. Excited to learn and live it, even when mistakes come, cause inevitably they will come, to pick yourself back up and be happy to do better. I guess the summer was starting to get to me cause for those last few weeks I found myself sad and unable to get out of a low stupor of thought. Yet here I am at school and up to my ears in homework, yet I'm livelier.
Maybe I should take this opportunity to be humble and just realize that the Lord does not want us to be lazy and he wants us to continually to better ourselves. And when we stop doing that, then we loose the motivation to even do the little things that used to cause us such joy. The greatest gift from God is Knowledge. The Ability to continue to learn and realize that he glory of God is in everything. How wonderful and blessed my life is to see the true glories of God in my life by studying the languages of others.
My next language that I think I want to learn is going to be Spanish. Hopefully my brain can handle four languages.
