Today, I went to church, and my pastor just got back from an 8-week sabbatical to survey other churches and to study on his own and I really quite liked the sermon he gave today. After I got home I wrote up my empathy training essay from went I was mute for 12 hours last Friday. I found it surprisingly easy to write a full page, but the hardest part of writing it for me was just getting started. Once I got started, I was fine, but I just found it difficult to start the essay without it sounding awkward (I just wanted the different thoughts to flow together nicely). School started last Thursday, which means that tomorrow starts the first full week of school, and I don't mind school; sometimes I wish it wasn't so monotonous though.
