In the last month I have been taking weekly evening walks with the Ministry Leader from my floor. This time is a wonderful time where we can debrief from the day, the week, or what is to come. Walking outside we are able to see the beauty around us. When it is dark out we stare up at the sky in wonder and aw.
We have both come to the conclusion that it is a lot harder than expected to have such a prominent position on campus. The stress of balancing personal, academic, community building and life in general is difficult. It is a balancing act that can sometime seem to be on the verge of tipping. We normally walk for 30-45 minutes and this short time once a week really helps me to get ready to tackle what need to get done. We also are able to talk about what is going on, on our floor and I am able to bounce ideas off of her, with out being interrupted by others. Even though it is quite a bit cooler at night, we still bundle up and have our little walk and talk.
