School, car, organization, and the overall "life" factor

Alright, so, I am back at school, and find myself getting frustrated at times when I feel like I am not finding a balance between theory and application. However, I realize the value of theory, particularly for political science as it allows me to really explore different realms and ideas for potential functionality of the system, and possibly how to effectively be involved in it.

Not having a car for the last couple of weeks had made me more aware of things like, I am overjoyed when after a walk, I make it to my apartment...usually with my car, I expect it. Also, a lot of people do not have cars, public transportation serves its purpose well, and I think if it were even more perfected like European systems, it would really fully serve the population. I mean, start one area or city at a time, but thing long term...yes it is hard to have legislation passed that will not see immediate results, but with the right program, right leadership, it could be really fantastic.

Organization without supplies? Ha, ha ha hah. I realized last night how disorganized I am for school, just waiting to be able to purchase supplies and resources, and I think some people have really limited resources and still go on to succeed, so again, I expect these things and have come to rely on them as tools.

I also realize, that my life without so many things I am used to, is amazing. I have been able to see different perspectives, and have realized how much I simply expect to have, without realizing how helpful and luxurious these things are...school texts, car.

My heart is just overwhelmed with how much I take for granted, and in this time how much God has watched out for me, and continued to guide me.

Hey, Gaela, I will post photos soon, =) How are classes, I mean in terms of interest and stuff?
