First Day of School

Today, sadly, was my first day back to school. Entering your sophomore year is supposed to be enjoyable. That is was I was intending it to be...But you may have guessed by my tone, it did not fit my expectations quite how I was hoping. Don't get me wrong, I love to learn. But the first day of school is not really a great time for that apparently. I was bombarded with syllabus after syllabus, and rules after rules after expectations, and dress codes, and every other "boring" topics teachers can talk about. First period is Health, one of those lame required courses. (Sure, Health is important, but there is a world of knowledge for me to know, other than "Don't do drugs, don't have sex, and eat your fruits and veggies") Second period is my favorite. Sociology. Incredibly interesting subject that seems to come super natural to me. My teacher is also incredible, but please do not get me started on my classmates. Yes, I try my hardest to love everyone, and not judge people, but it seems as though I have been put in a classroom with my polar opposites. Sometimes I feel that way about the entire school though. It's just so frustrating to see people be completely living for the moment, and for themselves. Maybe God is  putting this on my heart for a reason...so I can have endless opportunity to reflect him in our corrupt society. If that's what it is I will be happy to take it, but for now, I am frustrated and a tad confused on how I need to be handling these situations.
     Now lunch is similar to Soc. in regard to reaching out to my peers. I have a lunch with only one of my close friends, Lizzy, and we have made our table in to the table for the table less. After watching the movie "To Save A Life" I will never let anyone sit by themselves ever again. And that is exactly what happened. 4-5 people whom I never knew, where invited to our table. From a worldly perspective, I hate it very much for I was counting on having lunch with my friends, and have time to relax and simply chat, but from God's perspective, the one that actually matters, I believe I am stepping up and taking advantage of what opportunity I have, and for that, I am great full.  The rest of my day was similar. I've got to go now, but I will let ya'll know how this turns out.
