Today, I officially ended my sociology career at SPU, and I'm actually really sad about it. I hate school, but I loooove sociology.
For those of you who are uninformed, sociology is the greatest subject that has ever been taught in college. In fact, it has been proven that sociologists are closer to God than most other people. Ok, so there also might be a tiny bit of pride within the SPU sociology department...but it's part of what makes the SOC crowd (students and profs) so humorous and some of the best people to be around.
Sociology kicks my butt nearly everyday, challenging me to look past myself to see the rest of the world. It is so contrary to our culture's carefully preserved way thinking. I love it.
If you are reading this and have never studied sociology, take a class! Or pick up a book and read it. It will change your life.
I don't have any more time to write about this right now. Four papers to finish, 2 exams and I'm DONE. Can't wait.

the peace, the quiet, the stillness, the calm during the storm of my life.
A Search for What?
A search for repose is a search for God. My repose comes from being with Him, communing with Him, being still and listening to His quiet voice. I long to know the peace of sitting in his presence continually. Best of all, I find that God works through me in my repose. This blog is a journey of sorts--a place to express my random thoughts, lingering questions, small revelations--in the never-ending process of becoming.
a life that thrives
"But blessed are those who have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like a tree planted along a riverbank that sends its roots out into the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; it has no worries in a year of drought. Its leaves stay green and it goes on producing delicious fruit." - Jeremiah 17:7-8

Hey. I'm not sure how to respond to the comment you posted - if I'm just supposed to do one on my page or what - still kind of new to this whole blog thing and am not sure about proper blog etiquitte. Anyhow, I like your blog! I think my favorite one so far is the "I swallowed my gum" post. To answer your question, I've had my blog for about a month and a half and love it, what a cool way to let people know what's going on in your world. Anyhow, I'll see you on Sunday.

CONGRATULATIONS, Allison! You are done (I think). How's it feel? You're probably out celebrating. Thanks, by the way, for the thoughtful shout out the other day - I really appreciated what you said about idealism and realism. And yes, it'd be way fun to talk about that sometime, because I bet you've got some phenomenal insights from your studies. sociology 4ever.
