Yesterday evening I went with Young Life down to the Hundred Acre Farm in Madison, GA. I could not have asked for a more peaceful evening to remind me all that I have to be thankful for in my life. The weather was warm and beautiful. It was the senior appreciation dinner. It is always interesting to me to watch people be in positions that I will be in years from now. One girl wrote herself a letter as a freshman explaining her deep desire to not leave without making an impact. That is also my fondest desire. I just wish I knew exactly how to go around making that difference and making that impact.

This morning in English I discovered that my English professor is probably one of the most interesting individuals I have encountered all year. He shared a life story of how he refused to study out of a desire to protest against having to study. He said he received six credit hours in two years. He went into the military for the two years following and then finally came back to school and took 30 hours a semester to graduate on time. It made me think a lot about  unused potential. 

The lady working behind the counter at Jittery Joe's in the SLC complimented me on my shirt today. What if every time we thought something nice about another individual we told them? I think I'm going to make a point to compliment 5 different people every day. It makes such a different to have someone else take notice. 

I'm off to my part-time residence. The Milledge Hall Math Lab. I'm tempted to stay here in the SLC and continue to people watch. Everyone looks a little more stressed out than usual due to finals.
