Contrary to popular belief, I am not at the beach all the time. Most of my days are spent at school and reading for school. Currently I am enrolled in 5 classes including three upper division history courses. I have a Book of Mormon class that is extremely easy because all I have to do is read and go to class to get an A. My second class is an Early Modern Europe. My third class of the day is an eternal marriage class that also requires very little effort. The next class is a class on the History of Buddhism that is taught by a professor who is a well known scholar on Buddhism. Finally, I end my day in a class that discusses the way Christ is viewed by Christians (Non-LDS) throughout history in art, literature, and music. We just finished reading Mere Christianity.
I don't go to the beach everyday and the days that I do go usually include at least 4 hours of reading and writing. Right now I am reading 7 different books. Who'd a thunk a History major would have to read so much.
Studying at this University has been quite enjoyable so far and I look forward to the future classes. I have already registered for my spring term classes which include a class on modern Nationalism and Globalization and the class that I am most excited about, History of Surfing.
It is much more fun to post things about what I know not many people get to experience, mainly living 2 minutes from the beach in Hawaii. As my good friend Alec wrote on his blog list about our blog, "WARNING: Only visit if you are ready to be jealous because they live it Hawaii."
You quote a very wise man I see. So if I were to end up in Minneapolis, I am pretty sure I would just delete my link to your blog...but I think I am going to end up in Oregon! I just got accepted there. It is about an hour and a half from the coast...though the Oregon coast is a little different from Hawaii's...
