A little too long...

So it has been a while since we have posted anything up here. A little too long... but there is no time like the present. I am at campus right now. It is 7:30am and I have a Statistics class here is a few minutes. Most of my mornings come early now and I leave the house before Cathy or Mayne is up. I generally come into campus' library and do any printing or checking for new homework assignments and then head to class. I sit in the back. Mostly because I feel like the old guy. I am the only one with a wedding ring on my finger and pictures of my daughter on the outside of my binder. I lead a very different lifestyle than most of the students in my classes. My nightlife interests are playing with Mayne and getting some time with Cath. The rest of my classmates are more concerned with things like which bar should we hit.

A few weeks ago I realized that taking classes provides me with a consistent interaction with people of different values than I have. And this is the first time in my life that this has existed. I had a good amount of interaction with customer during my years in Philly but most of those interactions were limited to a max of one week. I am in a marketing class that has a ton of group work. Yesterday we choose groups and I am in a group with three girls. Our group formed mostly because we all have significant day time commitments. We are going to do a case study and make a marketing strategy for the Wilderness program at YAA. So there will be opportunity to share what my values in life are and why I structure my program the way I do. And I am left to wonder where they are at on their spiritual journey....as we are all on a journey!
