Wow, I am dreadfully frustrated that I haven't posted a blog in so long! But I suppose life has been rather crazy. I'm halfway through my second year of college, and life isn't looking like it will slow down any time soon. After reading back over my previous blog posts, I can see that, while I have grown a lot, my struggles are essentially the same. I am unspeakably grateful to the LORD today. This past week, between the election and other circumstances, I have been feeling very disjointed. I'm consistently surrounded by people who have strong opinions, which is by no means a bad thing, sometimes I just feel tugs at my heart from every direction.
I would like to, at some point very soon, write a post on my feeling towards religion and its relationship to politics. In my opinion, there is a very fine line between standing for what you believe in through voting and political stances and hailing politics as more important than it is. I won't go into it all now. For the time being I will close my discussion by congratulating President Obama on his second victory in the presidential elections. I commend you, Good Sir, and will be praying often for wisdom and blessing to fall upon you!
On another note, I leave for Cuba in 26 days. I will be taking a trip with my Spanish class (Cuba Today), so we are going legally and taking a charter flight out of Miami. The duration of the trip is 7 days, and my anticipation and excitement grows exponentially every day. I imagine it will be immensely refreshing to drive down to Miami, enjoy a 40-minute plane ride, and disembark in sunny, humid, 80 degrees Fahrenheit weather. I'm packing sandals and shorts for a December adventure!
This semester I am taking 19 credit hours at North Greenville University. It has been a veritable challenge, but my professors are remarkable and my classes are enjoyable. These two things have most likely been the biggest factors in maintaining my sanity. I would have to say that my "Cuba Today" class and World Literature classes are my favorite (and consequently my most difficult). I must say that I expected to be floundering at this point in the semester, but I am not nearly as stressed as I perhaps ought to be. I am also commuting from home this semester. Most people say, "Aw, I'm sorry, Susanna," when I reveal my identity as a commuter, but it has been so wonderful. I almost always look forward to returning every evening to a house bustling with activity. I am most often greeted by at least one sister proclaiming to the whole house, "Susu, you're home! Yay!" which is lovely.
Well, there are so many things that I would love to talk about and tell you all, but it is past this "granny's" bedtime. Until next time, my beloved readers and friends. I bid you all a good night and an unusually joyous Monday tomorrow!
