A Study Break...in blog form

I'm finishing up Plato's Republic tonight. It's getting late. Nevertheless, I kind of love my life here at Biola, so it's all good. :)

According to Plato, education is the turning of the soul from vice to virtue. I like the sound of that. I should think and write more about my philosophy of education. Later, though. Not now. Time to go read.

Also, I'm listening to The Civil Wars...again. They are now my favorite band. I now have an answer to the question, "what is your favorite band?". I am very happy about this.

Here's something to think about: why do you get educated? why do you go to school each day? what's the point? to get smarter? if so, why go to school to learn things you can just look up on google? so why go? I think I know...or, Plato does. what do you think?

I give her my Panera Card, and watch with anticipation as she swipes it. 

"You get a free pastry and a free hot drink today", she says with excitement. Even the employees love it when customers get free things! 

"Really? Yay!" I respond with a massive and instantaneous smile. 

It's the little things in life that oftentimes bring the biggest joy. 

And in case you are wondering, I got an orange glazed scone (heated, of course) and Earl Grey tea with cream and sugar. Yummmmmmm. :) 

I am in Love....

....with the band, The Civil Wars.

They are so good. I'm kind of obsessed. Especially with this song. The lyrics are incredible. I think I like this duo so much because they are so authentically human. And their voices together are impeccable. Take a listen, if you'd like.

 I just really love this song. 

Ok, back to homework.
