A small wake up call...

So.... I just finished my first week of school, wow! I can't believe it's already that time again and before we know it fall will be in full gear! I am only taking one class this semester, which I'm really excited about, although the class I am taking is the hardest class of my major. I'm taking Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy and the professor is by far one of the hardest professors in our department!

This week we are in charge of going to lab on our own (b/c labs don't officially start until next week) and learning about Hemichordates which are marine invertebrates which use to be a member of the phylum Chordata, blah blah blah...ANYWAYS!!!
I have a test that I have to take over all the material Tuesday. Needless to say, this semester is going to be full of extra time in the lab studying dissected shark, mudpuppys and cats, writing essays over chapters in our book and taking about 6 test overall for just this one class!!!

I have been trying really hard to keep other things in my life a priority as well, b/c sometime school can get overwhelming and can become my 'life'! i was at the gym this week and while i was there one day i decided to ride the bike and watch a little TV. On one of the walls there are about 6 screens and so i was torn between the news and the Olympic ping pong matches. There were two girls riding bikes next to me and they were also watching the news...

The news was talking about a teacher who was being charged for having a 'relationship' with a student. One of the girls next to me was going on and on about how she couldn't believe that would happen and in my mind I was thinking "why is this girl making a big deal about this, it happens all the time." Then I was stopped and couldn't believe that I had just thought that! I realized that i had become so insensitive to this sort of stuff b/c of the commonality of the situation! I hate that because our world has become so corrupt and full of sin that Christians like myself look past it all and think of it as something that "happens all the time"!

I'm not really sure how to go about fixing this yet, but I've definitely made myself well aware of the fact that I should look at things a lot differently. It also reminds me to have no tolerance of sin and I'm praying that the Lord can completely make me disgusted with the things of this world!!!
