It's ironic how I go to a private, catholic school to not only recieve a strong education, but to advance my spiritual life when in reality, religion in school detracts me from Christianity. Somebody thought it would be a good idea to close 70 Eastbound today; I disagreed with that decision. Nonetheless, I was late to school and I was getting pretty worried about it when I was 10 minutes away from school, already 15 minutes late. My only open period was the first hour of the day and I couldn't miss that. I was so happy to find out that we had extended homeroom today for a school-wide required prayer service which I would be missing instead of my open period. Isn't it sad how I was excited to miss out on this? I guess I just struggle with Catholocism and the rituals and traditions that go along with it. I hate how private schooling has caused me to despise things like prayer services and liturgies. However, my hatred for school-related religion has instilled in me an undying love for my unconventional church. Instead of seeking out answers to my questions at school, I turn to my church. God works in mysterious ways.

College update: I did nothing today that had any relation to college and it felt awesome
