Feeling Blessed!

Ever since I've gotten back from my retreat, I have been in such good spirits. On Sunday I had a relaxing brunch, studied with a friend, and got all my homework done early! (This is a first.) Yesterday, I got back my first two graded assignments - My Chemistry test was a B+ and my English Paper was an A-!!!! I had heard from my first day here that the average first essay is around a C, so this came as a TOTAL shock to me :) I also got to go to mass yesterday and spend time with new friends which was a lot of fun!

"This is the truth of the matter, men of Athens: wherever a man has taken a position that he believes to be best, or has been placed by his commander, there he must I think remain and face danger, without a thought for death or anything else, rather than disgrace." - Plato's "Apology"

This morning also started off well with my Western Heritage teacher discussing Plato's Republic - probably my favorite 'classics' book. It was a really interesting discussion and I made connections that I had never made before! It still amazes me greatly how Plato's human reason could come to such Christian and Catholic conclusions.
