cheers.
i don't really have time to be writing this, but writing blogs is lately synonymous with my brain resting in some form... and Lord knows i need some rest this week.
it is mid-term time all over the U.S. (maybe around the globe?), hundreds of thousands of students are stressed beyond what they perceive their capacity to be... of all those hundreds of thousands of students, a portion of them are praying for strength, endurance, HELP, sleep, parking spaces, and good attitudes while drowning. although my brain knows these basic statistics, when you are in the thick of things it feels real lonely down here... no matter how many students just like you are wanting to throw things, whine, scream, or really any other infantile expressions of discontent that will suffice. i find myself envying those people this week that can really "hold it together" under stress... i hope that i am one of them? i don't have high hopes, but i sure do hope that i am not a disaster to everyone around me when i am stressed. if you have personally gotten caught in the wake of all that has been me this week... i more than likely know who you are, exactly what i did, and feel hugely embarassed about it, and feel very sorry, and would like to make it up to you by giving you a hug, paying for your dinner, or treating you to coffee next time we meet up. you probably know who you are... and for the clarity i have afforded you on this issue... i'm sorry.
fall break is next week, and yes, Marie - the autumn dance also translates fairly well to be a victory dance - which you will more than likely see, sometime tomorrow after my last paper is turned in.
i am ready to harvest all this mess, and i have barely started planting.
why didn't people try harder to convince me that i was insane, when i decided to tackle grad-school and 2 jobs at the same time? some friends you guys are... :)
i'm totally re-thinking my big plan to do all those things at once.
even though at the end of my thinking, i know without doubt that i will come up with the same exact conclusion i have come to before (and will probably forever come to until i walk across the stage with that Masters degree)...
that this is exactly where i need to be -
and the Lord will either provide, or He will not.
and there is much more evidence to support the first stipulation.
much more.
so... to all my fellow students - here's to hanging in there, finishing with excellence, and depending on a God with sufficient grace for even stupid mid-term time.
cheers.
