Class horrors!

I arrived for a geography class yesterday with the sole purpose of taking it as an elective. I am so glad it is not an actual requirement.

As far as I can see, only one man teaches the class. As soon as I stepped into the room last night, I had a strange feeling about it. I really can't explain why -- I just had a bad feeling about it. I sat in the front row, put my bag on the floor, and the teacher passed me two articles: one glance informed me that scientists were still trying to figure out how many billions of years the world had been around. Of course, I cringed but sat through the lecture as it started. The people in the classroom seemed very cold toward each other, and I soon understood why: the teacher had a negative attitude about him, and it brought the whole class down. It was completely incomprehensible.
Finally, after about 40 minutes, he tells us to try to envision a large chunk of land, almost like looking at a map. He tells us to try to see it as God might see it, then adds, "Whoever she may be."

Done.

I grabbed my bags and pushed for the door, with the back row watching me and stifling laughs as I left.

  2. Maybe I'm just too sensitive about stuff like this. I don't know.

    Sorry about all the misspelled words -- wow, I need to fix those now :-)

  3. That's awesome Kayla. I am picturing you envisioning a large chunk of crock just how God sees it. And you did. And you left. And God is surely smiling at you.
