Well, the past couple of weeks have been a dismal failure in the world of exercise, so I won't get into that. Who said this was a blog about exercise only anyway? Not me.
I started school last week. It was an interesting feeling, considering I didn't really do anything all summer. Suddenly, I have a lot to do. It'll be an adjustment, to say the least. Slam - welcome back to reality, Jason.
Last night I think I had my first real doubts about school and my choice of social work as a profession. I don't think my doubts were based in the realm of logical thought...just fears of self doubt cropping up on a Sunday night. What is with Sunday nights?
I think a lot of my doubts or fears have to do with my faith background and how unfriendly the social work program seems to be toward religion - especially Christianity. Sometimes it's warranted, sometimes it's just lazy thinking/point of view. Maybe I digress.
I'll most likely get past this bump. It is only my second week of classes. Someone told me the other day that the program doesn't necessary represent real life. Even though that seems obvious, I forget that sometimes. I am learning a point of view that is very far on one end of the ideals spectrum. Do I have to think like this? Well, I think they would want me too, but in reality, no, I don't. Will I keep open minded? Of course, where it doesn't compromise my relationship with God.
