Many walk by me throughout the day and wonder what is going through my head, especially those people who know that I am a Theology major. There are actually only two of us that I know about here at NDC who are majoring in the subject, and I am the only one who lives on campus, so a lot of the time, I'm separated from the campus community as a whole in a way. So, if you've every wondered what's going through my head...you're about to find out.
Thoughts during class:
1. I have no clue what this professor is talking about...I think I'll google this topic later so I understand it better.
2. Seriously? We're going over what Theology is again?
3. Why do I have to take this class? This has nothing to do with my major.
4. If the professor calls on me I might give an answer that's too theologically dense.
5. Ugh, all of the heresy.
6.Wait, this is an English class? I though that gerunds were some kind of heresy!
7. I should totally live tweet this class one day.
Thoughts when doing homework:
1. I've written five drafts of this research paper. I think I'm good and there's no heresy in it.
2. I don't think I can stand much more of this theological text.
3 .Formatting this paper is a pain in the neck. It's a paper. Why does it have to be more difficult that it already is?
4. What should I use to make this paper longer? One word: footnotes.
5. One corgi video won't hurt...
6. Crap, I've been watching corgi videos for 4 hours and the paper's due tomorrow morning.
7. I need a Monster to get through the night/today...
Thoughts in my free time:
1. What is free time?
2. What does it mean to be free?
3. How did I get here?
4. What's good on Netflix?
5. Would my friends be able to hang out with me now?
6. Oh, friends...I don't have many of those...
7. Oh my gosh...my professor just asked me to edit something for him.
Thoughts when I'm ready to sleep:
1. What's the hypostatic union again?
2. Why are we alive? Did God create me for a purpose?
3. I really should finish reading that encyclical.
4. Just a few more pages.
5. I need to email that professor.
6. Do I have a paper due tomorrow?
7. Dear Lord, let me sleep.
Those are just a few things I'm thinking. If you want to know what's behind this sometimes stoic face, just ask! Trust me, I'm nicer than my walking to class face implies.
