Tonight was an interesting night, but the more I reflect on it, the less I know why. I guess it was a combination of joy, sadness, thoughts, and feelings. Tonight, it is even harder for me to express what I feel – more than it is normally. One aspect that I am sure of though is my profound joy to be here at SPU. The brotherhood that I share with my floor is amazing. I wish I could say more, but I can’t. Just one of those things.

Classes go well. My faith and philosophy class is great and has given me many new thoughts. In some ways, it has given me a fresh hope for my philosophical outlook. I don’t feel quite so alone. What I find interesting is how many classmates say they feel sorry for my professor, for he honestly admits he is not sure about much of his faith. Also, they think he is weird because he is less sure of things that many find to be self-evident or a given. I, however, understandly exactly where he is coming from. There has been many times that I think the exact same way he thinks about certain topics (viz. epistemology). We both have a lot of the same doubts and concerns. I have the advantage because I was raised in a Christian household. He was raised without a god, and had to struggle to find Him. My UCORE class is an absolutely worthless class. Pointless. However, we just finished reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. At the risk of many doubting my masculinity, I must say that it is an excellent and entertaining book. I think it is hilarious and very interesting. I will be watching the movie soon. I highly recommend the book.

Well, my mouth has ran out of words.
