Coming together...

To stay at MC or to not stay at MC? That has been the question on my mind for the last few weeks and I've come to a reasonable conclusion.  I'm going to stay for this year and just figure out next year when that rolls around.  I think the problem was that I was worrying to much about it.  When I thought I was going to be leaving I started trying to have fun and make the most of the time that I was here.  In doing so, I found that maybe I actually do like it here.  Maybe if I actually try to have fun, I can.  So, despite the fact that I am enjoying being at MC now, I am at home this weekend.  When I'm at home it's effortless fun : )  That's all I've got on that topic. 

So, the other thing that has been on my mind is sort of controversial.  Follies was last weekend and in one of the dances, they played music that had curse words in it.  I didn't find anything wrong with this but when I watched the video of the dance with a friend she got pretty mad about it.  This made me think about what we've been talking about in english class lately - What is a Christian college? What are the boundaries?

My friend strongly believed that the song should have been edited because "We're at MC, a christian school," but I have to disagree.  We're all adults here and that's what's out in the real world.  I think that blocking small things such as curse words can lead you to a life of naivety.  I believe that at this point in our lives we cannot let little things like that bother us or affect us in any way.  There are much worse things out there and by guarding yourself to much from the real world will put you in the "christian bubble" that is so often thought about when regarding "christian schools."
