Stuff

Yesterday I was walking into Schlotzsky's (or maybe I was walking out, I don't know) and I thought to myself, "You know, I get over myself just a little bit every day..."

I still have such a long way to go; I think I am the most selfish person alive...

In other news, I registered for classes. If you have been wondering, yes my academic plans changed pretty dramatically from when I first came to Austin. I am now studying Linguistics. Whenever someone asks me, "Why do you want to study Linguistics? What languages do you know? Do you want to be a speech therapist or a linguist?" I don't really know what to say to them. I just think languages and people groups and the way we learn and communicate are all incredible phenomena. Like, in the beginning was...the Word. Language seems to me to be very important to God. He reveals who He is to humanity through a particular language, people group, culture and time period in history. It's significant. So, the idea of language itself, and the in's and out's of how it's structured and what it does within our brains, is what I want to study.

And after that, we'll see what else I want to study/pursue/do as a job. My ultimate vision/dream in life - for now as well as the future - hasn't changed...just the school part.
