A relaxing start to my week? HA!

Most people wake up Monday morning ready to go for the week and I do my best to be prepared for my Mondays because I have classes from 8-6! But this Sunday night, at Barnes and Noble in Lincoln Square, desperatly trying to read the play for my Technique class, something overtook me and I thought " I need coffee to be able to finish this tonight." Not looking at the clock(10:30pm) I downed a Venti coffee, finished the play and returned home around midnight. As I laid down to sleep the coffee kicked in and while trying periodically to sleep, I ended up reading the entire play Angels in America, watching An American in Paris, playiong 3 games of Soduku, and actually cooking breakfast before leaving for class at 7:30. Being a little tired, but doing ok I climbed the 3 flights of stairs to class and sat down on the floor, ready for morning warm up... and all of a sudden... the instructor yells at the top of his lungs... "Lay the F*#$ down I am not your F*#$ baby sitter.... Lay down and relax" Now you have never seen 50 people get flat on the floor so fast in your life... and relaxation was the furthest thing from any of our minds for the next 30 minutes as he lectured us about how we need to be doing these warm ups daily if we want to be professional dancers... which I don't remember signing up for... And the moral of the story...... Always look at the clock when thinking about coffee after dark:)

Have you heard the new theological discovery?

Yes... there is something new that we have all been missing in our Bibles friends and I have learned about this on the streets of NYC!

So, tonight while walking up Broadway, 2 girls from the Elohim Academy ( at least that's what I thought they said) walked straight up to me and asked, " Do you study the Bible?" Being a bit taken back by this strange way of starting a conversation... but intrigued by what would ensue I answered," Yes I do." They went on to ask if I had ever heard about the feminine God. I guess I didn't hide my disagreement well becuase they started laughing and told me that so far every Chiristian that they had talked to responded in very much the same way. I asked them where this is mentioned "everywhere" in the Bible and they metioned Gen1:26 for starters.

26 "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness..."

To which I brought up the Trinity and they countered with verse 27..

27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

pointing out that he mentioned female... if I didn't have somewhere to be I would have loved to have that conversation and pick their brains about this, in my opinion, off the wall idea.

So that is a little bit about the interresting people you meet on the streets of NYC.

Other than that my life is amazing! I have nothing to complain about and I love what I am doing. Being in this city is so much fun, and educational with every step you take. Just walking to school or riding the subway, I am given something to ponder; whether it is a belief I have that's being challenged or a new idea being introduced... nearly everything I see or hear changes my view on the world and I absolutly love it!
