But Monday through Wednesday! Here we go!
Monday... man I was tired on Monday. It was totally worth it though. Every time during the day I felt even slightly overwhelmed or completely exhausted, I could think about the day before. It doesn't quite feel like I had a birthday... I don't feel any different. I suppose that's normal, but it feels like I should feel some sort of difference, you know?
Scene study class and Sociology were both nice. After my Sociology class, I had office hours with my professor to just talk with him about what Sociology really is, and a little bit about his own research. He's really nice, and nice to talk to. He is also extraordinarily humble, which I thoroughly appreciate!
I should have gotten more homework done on Monday, but we're back into a pattern of getting totally distracted by everything and anything, and therefore absolutely no productivity... yeah... it's not good.
Tuesday was about the same, really. Nothing new- though I felt like a total idiot because I forgot to print a hard copy of my rough draft for my writing class. I turned it in properly online, but didn't have a hard copy with me to work on in class, which was a bit awkward.
Again, I got homework done, but what is happening to my productivity?? Seriously?!
Also, I've officially committed to Mark Study with Intervarsity. It's every Tuesday night, and I like it a lot. It really teaches you how to read into the Bible deeper and pick it apart to get as much out of it as possible. Plus, the other people are all wonderful! So that was fun!
Wednesday was a little more productive at least. I finished my final draft for my paper in the evening, plus started thinking about plans for the upcoming weekend.
Life in college is a big bundle of work between one weekend and the next. Weekends are where it's at. That's when you actually feel like you have time to breathe, get things done, relax, and have fun before you run the race of the school work week again.
These past few days, I suppose, have been a slow point for me. I just need to keep reminding myself that okay, now that I've had my fun, it's time to keep your life together and focus on the important stuff that you need to have done. Catch up, get work done, stay on top of your health (haven't been too good on that one either...), etc.
I haven't been completely useless though. Well, I have as far as school and health goes- I've been on YouTube a bit too much. However, in the past few days, a video came up in one of the channels I watch that sent some bad news as an explanation to why videos haven't been up often lately.
The man who runs this channel, Cory, was engaged to a girl from another channel, Kate. I started out watching Cory's channel since... Middle school or so, and when Kate became a friend of his I got into her videos too. However, Cory posted the following video that made me really sad:
Man, talk about tough times. You can tell that there's more going on than he can explain in a video, for obvious reasons, but... I just felt like I had to do something.
Cory doesn't have a PO box anymore, but Kate does. I've never sent either of them anything before, but I thought that maybe I could send something to show them some encouragement and love and hope during these difficult, stressful times.
So I wrote Kate a letter. I told her how I came about watching her videos, since she's probably never heard of me before, and just tried to send as much encouragement as I could. I told her I'd be praying for her as well. I don't know if she's Christian or not, but her dad (who's made some video appearances) is, so I told her I'd be praying for both of them. I hope she gets it soon, and that it will make her feel better. I wish I could do the same for Cory, but a very short comment on the video will have to be enough.
Tough times are tough, no matter what.
Well, time aren't too tough for me yet. They're going to get pretty stressful in this next week though, and there's a TON I have to do with the rest of today and the weekend. But I'll write about today later tonight (I'm writing this on Thursday)
Fight on, friends.
