I feel like I have been a part harsh on Luther throughout my posts, and I want to set that right. So far, it has been a wonderful institution. There has been so much to love about it: the classes are challenging and engaging (most of the time- nowhere is perfect), the professors are all helpful, there are activities to do on campus, and the food has been great. I want to say that the problems that I have discussed throughout all my blogs have been the result of personal issues; I no doubt would encounter them at any school. But I want to be honest, and to be honest I have to show my feelings as they are, not as an incoming student or admissions counselor would want them to be. So I lament that Luther has to be the setting to my personal issues. Make sure you form an impression of your own about Luther before you choose the school you'll attend next year.
On Friday our J-term class did another field trip to Minneapolis. It was a pretty awesome experience just being able to wander around the city with absolutely no agenda, even though it was like -20 degrees out with the wind chill. I walked around downtown, headed over to Dinkytown near the UM campus, and visited a cool tapas bar (which apparently was 21 and over, but I didn't see the sign and didn't get carded. It was pretty cool). Other than the field trips, though, J-term has been a load of work. A load of reading, actually. I've spent on average of about 5 or 6 hours a day reading and journaling. I'm told that's not an average amount for J-term (my friends lounge about all day playing Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros.)
I guess I don't really know what to write about. Things are kind of stalemating. Not very much enthusiasm for school or social life remains; things will get better though.
Take it easy,
Danny
