So, before I get to how my day at college was, I want to take a moment to direct your attention to this song that has been popping up. And I know it is really talking about a husband/wife relationship, but the more I look at it, the more I see the relationship I have with my Mentor. So here are the lyrics, I wan't you to really read them and maybe you can see how I feel?
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
*If* There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
There’s more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
Ill be the flattered fool
and I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
*If* There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you
On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
*If* There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you.
Gave me you.
Yes, I realize that in more than a few verses it talks about how "Love has tethered" and blah blah, but let us take it out of context of what he is trying to say and fit it into the context of a mentor/mentoree, and the Christlike love that is shared between them and that fixes that. Ha. I win. (Okay so maybe a few of the verses I could not do that for.... But still. This is the song that reminds me of how much I admire and look up to my Mentor, especially since I don't have an SO!)
Anyways, my first day of college was really good! I have only really been looking at the positive of it all day, and only just now in my sleepy state have started remembering the few pitfalls. I got to the campus an hour early to find my classrooms for the day, found them with ease and was on time for both my classes, I met a Christian girl on my way out of campus who gave me a ride home and was super nice to me, and I finished my two homework assignments for Math 104 (Elementary to Intermediate Algebra). The only real downside was that I think I almost had a panic attack in my math class. My heard started to hurt and my breathing was off. I didn't feel safe is all I can really pin it down to. So tomorrow I have English 110 and Math 104 (I have that every. freaking. day.) and then I have some reading to do, and I have some interning to do.
I am excited about college, it is such a cool experience (Despite the almost panic attack)! And I know that God is always going to be with me throughout my entire journey, and beyond the walls of college! Thanks for reading, as always!
