Beautiful Day

Someone once mentioned a quote to me that said true beauty is that which inspires thought. Today I am overwhelmed with beauty in all the most peculiar places.

I didn't think I would enjoy my Critical Thinking class, but I do. And I enjoy that it's my last class of the day, and  is followed by a walk home with my thoughts, and a solitary dorm to write, uninterrupted. It sounds terribly unsocial of me, but I like all the thoughts I have about the class applied within my life and how I live it. It's so uplifting and seems to feel spiritual, and I like being able to have time to think about them. We talked a lot about living for the best possible life and a little about how religion plays those sort of roles. I love when my head spins with these thoughts that makes it so hard for my hands to write and keep up. And my head is spinning and I'm smiling. I don't mind being dizzy this way, not anymore.

A good friend of mine made me a mix CD which also provokes thought. Music can always do that, and I love the messages she chose to send me and thoughts she chose to provoke within me. It is also beautiful. Thank you. =)

I've been doing some serious people watching since classes have begun. I can tell who hates school, having to be awake, reading, that sort of thing. Then I can tell who is truly interested and who is a good or astute student. I'm excited to get to know these people, and to learn. I feel like such a nerd, but everyday has something I can look forward too, and mostly I look forward to the content of the classes and the professors that teach them. It's been a while since I've been this enthused about all my classes. This is always subject to change... but for now I am reveling in my fantastic outlook on this semester.

I feel so inspired by things I've seen and heard today. Although it is ugly and gray outside today, so far my day has been beautiful.
