I'm finding that I learn so much more when my professor passes off the baton and lets someone else lecture. Not surprised, but I learn so much more when we go one field trips rather than twiddle our thumbs in class. Although I've seen and experienced a lot here, one of my most memorable experiences is when our class went to the Gallopie Mosque in a very diverse city whose name doesn't seem to come to my mind at the moment. The reason why is because I'd never been given the opportunity to see what other people believe, how other religions operate, and the basis on which their faith lies. Being a very spiritual person myself, I was rather intrigued by all I was learning. Through this experience, I've broadened my own opinions about religion and I feel like they weren't originally as accurate only coming from the narrow perspective of a little Catholic girl. It's important to know your specific beliefs, but also as important for you to try and understand them in relation to others. They're not all entirely different. I never fully understood how similar everything is. If you do have faith, no matter what it may be, it will play the same role in your life.
My hour of internet purchased only to speak to my sister, whom I'm unable to get a hold of, is expiring. BOO.
