Dear Reader,
Song titles for ideas of what to write are somewhat repetitive. Hopefully you don't get bored with the connections to musical ideas.
Today's connection comes from Anastasia, a classical cartoon about the story of the Russian Princess Anastasia. From the soundtrack come "At the Beginning," wherein a guy and a girl sing about their experiences and they want to keep on going, even after the end. They sing this way because of the idea that after the end, there is another beginning. That is my feeling as this semester comes to a close.
I have learned a lot this semester. Between classes about marriage, the Doctrine and Covenants and Psychology, there are lots of big ideas being thrown around. Some of my classes I'll be glad to be done with. Others I will be sad to leave behind. Along with the classes, there are lots of clubs and people that I've gotten to know this semester. It will be sad to leave a few of them, too. However, some of them are continuing.
That brings us to the main point: After the end of the semester, there is another semester that begins in Spring. I'm preparing more for that time than I am for my finals. Sad, right? Don't worry, I'll pass all my finals. However, I am really excited to be back "At the Beginning" of a new semester where I can get things back to where they need to be.
We can think about the Atonement of Jesus Christ in that way, too. Through his Atonement, He helps us get "Back to the Beginning" of things with a clean slate. He helps us finish off with the things we don't need in our lives and to mend the mistakes we've made. That part of the idea is a daily thing, so it is important to remember that taking part of the Atonement does not wait until the start of new semester.
The best part of this new semester? Well, right now I am looking forward to having very few things to take care of. Classes and Work. That's all I'm worried about for this new semester. I hope you all find yourselves "At the Beginning" of something great sometime soon!
