Late Night Musings - 11

Well, another semester is upon us. Another 15 weeks of fun, excitement, overloaded homework, anxiety, change, love, hate, and possibly a little bit of late night Ramen noodles...

Across the room from me, Andy is trying to go to sleep. All of a sudden he asks "What are Valentines Day cards?".... "Valentines Dacartes is the son of Renee Decartes.", I reply.

"Whats the point?" He asks.

I thought about it...

You know, I don't know WHAT the point of them is. Perhaps it is a commercialized way of trying to gain world peace... or at least peace within the classroom you are handing them out in. I remember back when I used to give out cards. I would make one for EVERY person in class... yet there was always "that" girl that I put the extra time in. I made her's special... the best card, the coolest characters, I even wrote my own little message on it, even though they all came with messages already written on them.

Now it all looks like a scam. We lie to people, tell them we like and appreciate them, but for what? In hopes that we may get a valentines card with the same fake love back? Hoping that we will get as many little paper cards with animals and video game characters on them, proving to us that we have worth, that we are so valuable to someone that they took the time to make a card for us?

Andy is snoring. Funny how fast he falls asleep. I wonder if he was thinking about it as much as I am....

It's sad. If I could go back and give out cards again, I would tell each person that Christ loves them. That He put the special time into each card and wanted them to get that card and love it and cherish it the most.

Hmm... what a ramble...


Classes start in the morning. I'm excited, albeit a bit nervous as to what the next few months have in store for me. For all of us. So much has happened so fast. The world never stops moving, it's up to us to enjoy every minute of it.

Go out tomorrow and make the day special for someone. I'll see ya there.
