The Ultimate College Class

College has been really good to me so far. I've been making great friends and learning a lot of very interesting concepts. The biggest revelation I have had this year is that everything relates to Archaeology. No joke! This class has included at least one idea from every single other class I have! It related to biology through genetics and evolution, to accoustics through seismic data collection, to writing through logical fallacies, and to folk dance through the topic of how many different factors influence a people's culture.
But the best connection ever was the one I made between my Book of Mormon class and Archaeology. Recently in my religion class, we discussed how Lehi's familly was able to survive in the wilderness on raw meat. The Lord blessed the meat that it tasted sweet to them and gave them strength to continue their journey. The very next Archaeology class was all about the cooking theory. In this lecture, the professor stated that research has shown that our bodies are unable to survive well on a strictly raw food diet. We simply cannot get enough energy out of raw foods! This testified to me that Heavenly Father had a huge part in making sure Lehi's family made it to the Americas safely.
So really, instead of taking six different classes, I could have just taken Archaeology this semester!
