I've been blown away by the number of blessings God has flooded upon me in the past week and a bit. From the little things (like finding an empty slot on the timesheet of the always-packed treadmills right when I needed it) to the big things, God has been so present in all aspects of my life.
As I was reading the new report from Patrick Deane (VP Academic) on Curriculum Renewal, I found out that the year the '09s entered university was probably the best time to receive a quality education. In his report, Deane writes, "The year 2005 increasingly seems to have been a kind of annus mirabilis for higher education in Ontario, and Reaching Higher the product of one of those rare and fleeting moments when enlightened government finds itself in possession of the resources appropriate to undertake positive change."
To look back from our current standpoint of budget cuts and department down-sizing, I can see how God has truly blessed me to be a student during the good times. Even though it will be challenging for new graduates to find jobs at this time, it's comforting to know that our education was the best Queen's could offer in these recent years.
On another note: Maybe I'm just trying to be optimistic about graduating. I'm still feeling awfully ambivalent about it.
