I love being a student. I love meeting people who are young at heart, who still have that glint in their eyes. I love listening to my new friends tell me about their religion; I love telling them who Jesus Christ is to me. It is like being given a rare chance to talk about a beloved friend who lives very very very far away, so far away that I don't talk about him for months and months on end, but when I finally get to say his name aloud in everyday conversation, I remember that he is real, and that he is someone I know and love — a friend.
And I love learning. I love being bombarded by information that I have to assimilate into my mental schema. I love using new words like "schema". And I love it that my schema is changing because of the new information bombarding me. I am getting smarter every day. Okay, maybe not. ;)
And the hours! And the casual clothes! And the cheap coffee! And the salary! And the books!
Seriously, everybody should take time out to be a student every once in a while...
