Back to School!

Well this week was my first week back to school. Yes, you read that write. I am taking two night classes a week so I can sit for the CPA exam in two years. I will also earn a second bachelors at the end of the two years which is an extra bonus.

I am attending Emporia State University and I like the school. The people have all been friendly and very helpful whenever I needed help with something.

It is interesting attending a non-church school. It has been eight years since I attended a public school and that was a community college. I forgot that other schools do not have dress standards at all, so walking into my class was quite the surprise. The first row had sever ladies who need to put more clothes on and then as you headed back toward and empty seat, you could see people with their t-shirts making political statements, piercings that seem to never end, more facial hair than I have ever seen on me. You could find conversations going on about the latest fashions trends (or lack of fashion in my opinion), about how a boyfriend did this or did not do this and so I left him. You could hear people telling others about how they told their family members off and how they were justified in doing it.

I was able to find an empty row in the very back (my least favorite place to sit normally) and take all of my surrounding in and hear different conversations going on all around the room. I guess you could say the acoustics were good in this classroom. The impression that I was left with was one of sadness. Here was a group of my fellow brothers and sisters that had no regard for them selves or their fellow being. Now I know that I am generalizing about the group of students, not everyone fit into this generalization but a large number of them did.

It makes me happy that I have the gospel in my life and how we should try even harder to set the example and share the gospel with those around us because it is truly life changing.

Anyways, I am loving being in classes again and learning about new subjects.
