School

I am finally three weeks into school and getting a hang of my schedule. Work is not stressing me out that much mostly because I am a few days ahead from working this weekend. I am excited about all my classes.

I am taking a History of Religion in America class which is looking at Native American religion and beliefs and how other religions then entered the continent. I am also taking a Quakerism class on social testimonies. I am not so excited about this class other than it is giving space to read some good Quaker books that I have wanted to read for a year or two. It is nice to be reading them and then having class discussions but I am not sure what I am getting out of this class yet.

My favorite two classes are English and a class called "narrative and the creation of self."
For english I am writing a paper on something important to me: community. The essay is a collage of stories around my year at Pendle Hill. It is nice to have time to reflect on my year and get a nice write up of the year and what I am taking away from it.
I am hoping to take some tips on how to make my blog/ writing better out of both my narative and english classes. The narrative class right now is looking at how we define ourselves through different types of writing. So next week I have to write my life story in four or five pages and then I will rewrite it as a myth and fairy tale later in the semester.

Social life is fun here at college but it is hard to stay a way from parties and people being harsh because they are drunk. In my world there would not be miss use of alcohol and other drugs.

This is a quick update and hopefully I will have more time soon to do a more in depth and spiritual update.

Love
Rebecca
