Pilgrimages of life

I am very upset that this class is over. I enjoyed every conversation, power point, video, and article that we covered (even the uncomfortable stuff). This class was the highlight of my day, where I could count on having a good laugh. I feel like I have learned a lot from this class. Now I have a better understanding of where I stand on certain issues. When we were learning about the "hook up" culture of college I was frightened for next year. Once we did the college interview I felt a lot better about it. Talking to a college student helped take the edge off of the obstacles I might run into next year.

I really enjoyed the 'The Way,' I wish that I was good at foreign languages and could just travel the world. I wish I could walk the Camino, but I feel like I don't have it in me. I could rough it for the most part, but peeing outside scares me so I don't think I could pull it off. I hope that one day I can overcome my fears and accomplish being a "free spirit," and open up to the world and soak in all it has to offer. Recently I have taken baby steps. I do not like to go public places by myself because I feel extremely awkward. However, this weekend I went to a walk with out a buddy, church alone, and today I went to the YMCA all by myself. It sounds lame, but for me it was a big deal. This class has helped me be more comfortable with myself.
