After chapel this morning, I headed to the Great Hall for lunch. I usually try to catch some friends to sit with while i’m there… but on the way up, I guess I came out ahead of everyone because I didn’t see or find any of the people I usually eat with. I walked into the Great Hall full of Covenant students, faculty, and some 150 prospective students who have been attending Covenant for the scholarship weekend. It was packed out… :) I grabbed some food and spent a few minutes walking around, trying to find a seat …let alone any of the friends I usually sit with. I found a table in the corner of the Great Hall. It’s my favorite spot to eat, as well as just to study or think. It’s right in front of the huge glass windows that overlook Lookout valley, as well as the surrounding mountains. Sometimes in the morning, I’ll be up there for breakfast before class… and the clouds will have settled in the valley, while the sun is rising over the tops of the mountains. The sun’s rays just seem to spread all across the horizon. It’s a beautiful view.

So enough said, I found a seat at a table in the corner. I pulled out my philosophy notes to review for a quiz I would be having in my 1:00 philosophy class. As I started to go over the notes, as well as eat in between sentences, a couple came and sat down at my table along with three other prospective students. The Great Hall was packed, and there was hardly room for anyone, let alone me, to hoard a whole table to themselves. I invited them to join me, and they sat down. Click to continue »
