explorations and realizations
I think I'll start with the PSF (protestant student fellowship) bible study that I went to tonight. I think it was pretty good. It wasn't as scripture oriented as Hi-BA, but it was a lot of discussion about topics and situaitons that are relevant to today's society, so it was good in that aspect. I'm always up for a good discussion anyways, especially if its about religion/spirituality/etc. I've come to the conclusion that what's "right" and "wrong" always depends on the person. You, or rather, I, can't assume that all Christians share the same viewpoints on certain subjects. From what I gathered, most of us had the same moral standards on the topics of relationships and what not, but it really varied when we got to the subject of drinking. Maybe I'm just super-conservative... but apparently a quite a few people think its alright to get wasted... ::shrug:: I guess I expected different. ::soft laugh:: I think I expected everyone to have the same viewpoints as I do. I know some people do, so that's comforting at least. I still want to try out MoB (The TCF [tufts chrisitan fellowship] bible study thing for frosh) and other stuff that TCF, ACF (asian chrisitan fellowship) and CCT (the catholic organization) have to offer... I'm all for trying new things out in college... that's what it's for anyway... I just hope I can stay focused... because I definitely have the tendency to let my attention wander.
In other news, we (Tufts JV women's soccer) had our first game today against Middlesex prep/boarding school. We lost pretty badly, which is quite embarrasing. I definitely played like crap and thensome for the first half though, so I'm not going to critcise. I played a teeny bit better the second half, but I still did pretty badly overall... Not to mention that I'm in horrible shape. This is why I always downplayed my skills during HS and stuff. Everyone was always like, "yo, you're mad good," to which I would reply, "No. I'm really not." For while I may have been good for Teaneck soccer, I realized how I compared to the rest of the girl soccer players my age out there. All during HS and whatnot, my ego has been built up pretty high, and that's why I think it was such a harsh blow to be but from the varsity team. Sure it makes me feel a little bit better knowing that any D3 team in NESCAC can hold their own against any D1 school, but still... it surely put everything in a better perspective though.
