I have to get a TB shot this week before school starts… noooo, not again. Sigh.
I’m pretty excited to start school in general. For the first time I’m following a true passion that I’ll be actually interested in learning and not just trying to get the grades in journey of another pursuit. (I just re-read that, and that sounds totally naive and overexcited. I think it’s exactly what I said when I declared to be math major after finishing general breadth. So we’ll see how long this lasts haha.) Still, I actually bought the books before the school year started. I’ve Never done that. Speaking of which, theology textbooks are so much cheaper than math textbooks. I’m taking Hermeneutics, which is the study of interpretation theory (I actually had to look that up writing this very sentence. Up until now, when I’ve been asked what I’m taking, I’ve been like, ‘Yeah, Hermeneutics’ as if I knew what that was ahahahah. Trying to look like I know what I’m talking about. Ohhh God. Have mercy on me.), Greek I, Theology I, and then some other required elective classes. Should be fun..
In any case, I do have one fear going into school. I don’t want to become head-heavy, filled with knowledge and 지식, becoming solely invested in explanations and rationale for God. I hope more than knowledge, I grow spiritually in my passion for Him. I’ve heard of people who’ve entered seminary with undeniable passions and came out denying God and armed with skeptical arguments. I’m excited to be learning but I hope it leads me in the right direction. I’m still naive person in my pursuits and perhaps overly ambitious to control the direction I’m headed, only caring that I’m moving forward. So my prayer is for God to take hold of my routes and lead me directly to Him!
