Lord,
This may seem petty, and I very seldom ask, but I really need some money right now. Between getting this car, paying for gas, changing schools, moving, and finding a new job, I have found myself completely broke and needing some serious cash. So please send something my way. Work, gifts, charity, anything really. I just need some cash to get me through the next few weeks.
Thanks Papa!
Almost done.
I’ve got a tiny, two page essay left to write, five exams to take, and then I’m done for the semester. I get to rest for two weeks, then change schools and go back at it again. I love academia.
It’s nice to have the weight of the papers off my shoulders though. At least I won’t have to worry about more papers until this fall. But that’s when things really kick into high gear. A new school, more rigorous academia, higher demand of myself. I’m really going to have to make some changes.
I need to start disciplining myself. Time management is a good place to start. I thought about setting aside thirty minutes per day to organize my schedule. That should help me keep an eye on where all of my time is going. Maybe thirty minutes before I go to bed at night, I can sit down and record the days schedule then double check and confirm the schedule for the following day. That sounds reasonable. It’s just a small enough goal that it might just work.
Writers. Block. Sucks.
I’ve got two big papers and three small papers to write between now and next Wednesday at midnight. I can’t put my thoughts together to save my life. I don’t know if I am getting hung up on certain parts that I should be skipping, or what. I just know that every time I sit down to put something together, all I get are a bunch of words floating around in my brain. Like word soup.
Speaking of soup, I would love to have a steaming hot bowl of homemade broccoli and cheddar soup with a fresh piece of sourdough bread on the side. That would be amazing. Panera makes an awesome broccoli and cheddar soup. Throw that into one of their sourdough bread bowls and you’ve got yourself a little slice of heaven. Homemade is always better though. I don’t care how many fresh ingredients they use.
I think maybe I’m going to start doing this like a real blog. Just writing. No huge profound musings. No political rants. Just a simple, “Hey this is me, and this is what’s happening today.” After all, that’s what a “blog” is for, right?
Okay, maybe some musings or rants every now and again. After all, it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have something deeply theological or political to pour over occasionally. I don’t think it’s possible for me to be shallow. At least not long term.
Anyway, back to the grind. Too many papers to write and not enough time in the day to write them all.
