Cogito ergo sum

Today was the day that I began Pacific Lutheran University. After sitting in my Christan Ethics class for 30 minutes, we were released to go to opening Convocation. It was amazing. To see all the faculty and professors dressed up in their robes of distinction, to hear them applauding for us - the new students coming in, I felt like I was part of something bigger than myself. President Anderson addressed us and told of of central themes like how to learn what our morality is in the confused world of Batman or how to live life with the themes of the Coldplay song 'Viva la Vida.' He told us how we were now part of a 119 year old tradition and how what we learn in these walls will help us on our future path. I felt inspired. I felt like I had found exactly where I belonged. I am looing forward to my 2 years at PLU. GO LUTES! *Apparently, nobody really knows what a lute is anyways
