unhindered and (seemingly) illogical

hoorah! one of the four papers is done!!!! yeah!!! okay, enough of that. but, it is sure nice to have one out of the way, even if it is the last one that is due. its a little easier on the brain, anyhow, knowing that i have one done... :) so? a short break perhaps to refocus my brain and let it settle down for a bit, and then on to the next one. it's half done, so i should be able to finish it tonight w/o too much trouble. hopefully...

a good break: turning up Pete Yorn really, really loud, and singing along... lol... :P (the key is to turn it up loud enough that you can't hear yourself, at least in my case!)

making good headway on the paper, which is encouraging. feeling okay, managing to avoid napping so far, also good. my sleep schedule has been funky ever since i got sick. hope to finish the one paper and also another. that would be good for tonight. then i might be able to take a little time off tomorrow. maybe? we'll see though. have to get some good work done here tonight, so? back at that...

ahh... a new day. feels good. woke up feeling pretty good...hope to continue that through my day today. nothing too exciting planned for today, other than i had better get a paper written, which shouldn't be too hard... anyhow... :) back to work!

well, i've had my fun for the week, but now it's after one am. and i feel awful because i didn't get any homework done all evening. should i? i don't know. i am too tired to worry too much about it. i am sure i will feel even more guilty in the morning. but? anyhow... time for bed.

bored. yep. just seems to be one of those nights. i should do some writing. i need a break from homework, my bains are turning to mush. but? i think i will go play a game of crib or something...

well... my good day seems to be degrading somewhat. not for any particular reason, mostly just because i am tired and i have a good sized headache and all to want to do is curl up on a couch with a nice big blanket and a cup of tea and watch movies and let my mind do nothing. and i can't. i feel like i need to be getting stuff done. i know i do... and i am not getting anything done. i don't feel as well as i did earlier... my body just wants to sleep, but i know i can't... grr... anyhow.. enough of that. i will press on, and i will make it. i have to make it...

feeling a little better again this morning... maybe even got some good rest last night... i have some energy, so that is good. i seem to be moving into the sneezing/runny nose stage of this whole thing, so? i think that means maybe the worst is past, but it is a little too soon to tell. caution is still advised... :)

one more class and then my weekend begins. mostly this means piles of homework, but? it has to be done sometime. it will be nice to just sit down and get some work done and not have to worry about going to stupid classes. one more class also means that i only have one week of classes after that, so? that is a good thing...

something that is not so great of a thing though is the 3-4 ft. drifts of snow piled up all around campus that we have to wade through. hehe... glad that i have my boots!! i must admit that i was really hoping that all this winter nonsense was quite finished, but? i am sure the farmers will appreciate the moisture. so? i won't complain too loudly.

today feels like a pretty good day, for no reason in particular. maybe just because i am feeling like a real human being again. that could cerrtainly attribute something to it! :P other than that? it is just another normal day, i suppose... but? it feels like a good day, and i'm going to go with that as long as it lasts.... lol...

God is good... He is faithful. yeah... :)

my paper is going nowhere. i give up for tonight. i think i will try and heed the advice of a friend and get to bed at a decent time tonight...

hmmm... feeling okay, mostly because i slept, through classes again, for a couple hours this afternoon. no more of that allowed! it is snowing like crazy outside, and becuase of that we weren't able to go to youth tonight. i feel pretty bad about it actually, because tonight was supposed to be just a chill out time w/ the boys... but? i wasn't driving, so? not much i can do about it. i just really feel like i've let them down. anyhow... it is pretty nasty out, so? i dunno. just working on a paper, since i have some time now. that's all the more going on in my exciting life right now... lol...

feeling a good bit better this morning... so, that is a good thing. stinking snow is kinda drving me nuts, but? whatcha gonna do? had to sign up for the room i wanted in the dorm here for next year. seems weird to be thinking about all that already. the summer hasn't even started, i don't want to be thinking about next school year already! but? maybe i just ant to be ignorant for a bit longer... lol. anyhow, it is done. i think i have my summer plans figured out too, so? that is good. things finally seem to be falling into place, which is a relief. but? time to go get some lunch, so...

well... april fool's day is winding down to an end, and i didn't even fool anyone. hmm... i guess i still have 5 min. meh. i am too tired to care.

imagine with me for a moment...

the halls of the dorm, a crowd of guys gathered around... two twin size mattresses on the floor. one guy completely decked out in goalie pads, the other, not. the padded dude takes a stance in the middle of the mattresses, and the other guy backs down the hall a bit. he runs towards pad man, and takes a flying leap at him, feet first into his chest. point? to knock him over, and do it without blood. no, this is not American Gladiators, but its close. and yes, this is really happening outside in the hall right now.... lol... what else to say?

well, getting some stuff accomlished tonight. got in touch with all the youth kids, and even got to talk to them for a bit. so, that was cool... got something done on my paper, so that was good. i don't anticipate getting a lot of sleep over the next couple weeks, so? meh? it'll be all good, though... i can't wait until all my regular assignments are done. then just finals. :) anyhow... time for me to get some more reading/writing done.

my blog was being weird, as in it didn't publishb like the last 2 days of posts until just now, after i reset the template. so, that is why things look a little different for the moment. i will try and get the links and archives back a.s.a.p., because i know there are so many people out there who are just in agony that they aren't up... lol... i'll get it all back to normal as soon as i can convince my resident HTML dude to come help me. lol...

yeah, nothing like some honey lemon tea to ease a sore throat a bit. its not even 5:30, and i am already in my pj pants. its snowing outside, and so i don't see that it is worth going out anymore tonight, and so i might as well be comfortable! *grin*

hmm... it just really dawned on me that it is April... good grief! this semester has gone entirely too fast. i will be glad when it is over, so i won't have the heaps of work that i have now, but i will certainly miss all my friends. but? its too early to start thinking about that yet... :)

hmm... i skipped class to sleep, but i feel a good bit better for it, so? turned out i slept for a couple of hours... but? i am determined to kick this!

on a completely random note, my hands smell like dryer sheets, and the smell just won't go away! and they don't smell like very good dryer sheets, because whatever the new ones i bought were don't smell as good as the package looked... lol... anyhow, enough nonsense from me...

arrgh... i woke up with a sore throat this morning... grrr... i can't get sick! i don't have time to be sick! meh. i hope i really don't too sick. but? enough complaining. won't change anything. i want to be sleeping in my bed, so i think i am going to go take a nap before my last class.

hehe... i have a tub of gummi bears... *grin*

anyhow... i don't know what that was all about... i know, go ahead and laugh at me... :) but? i got my pictures back, there were a couple decent ones, actually... more than i would have guessed. so, that was cool... it has just been a fairly good evening... i am really upbeat tonight, have been for most of the day. it's a good thing... :) i got my watch working again too, which is definitely a bonus. now i don't have to go around asking everyone what time it is... lol... and the book that i am reading, which i susspected would be horrificly boring is actually somewhat interesting. so? it is all good. anyhow... off to finish the Hemmingway novel, something a little lighter, and it's due first anyhow, so?

today has been a good day. i feel like i have gotten a good bit accomplished. time to accomplish a bit more now. :) but? my profs have pushed back a couple of assignments, which lowers my stress level a good bit, for the moment at least! and this is no a bad thing... so? all in all it has been a good day. was up a little late, but? God really brought some stuff to my attention of late, stuff that needs my attention, and that is always a good thing. but, yeah...? it's been a good day, a good way to start off the week.
-maverick-

yeah... done with class for the day, and it is beautiful... time to go play a little catch with the ball and glove, i think... then back in my cave here for some work...
-maverick-

hmm.... yeah...

tonight it's time choose a direction
if you fail you can make a correction

slower now make life faster
make your mind up for once this time

chorus:
it's hard to know
where i'm supposed to go
it's hard, so hard to know
to know where i'm supposed to go
tonight
tonight

tonight it's time choose a direction
if you fail you can make a correction

slower now make life faster
make your mind up for once this time

chorus

tonight i'm gonna let it go
and try to let it be
because i know you'll see
that it's hard to know
where i'm supposed to go
but there is a way
and tomorrow is a brand new day

chorus

tonight - sixpence none the richer

i pretty much slept the afternoon away... i think i am fighting a cold or something, i just don't feel all that well. but? after my nap and some food, i am feeling a little better, so? i don't know... i just hope i don't get real sick, 'cause i have too much to do.

on a better note, i got a history assignment back that i didn't expect to do very well on, and got an A-! so, that was definately encouraging! speaking of assignments... i should get started on the one that is due tomorrow...

nnothing like a little baseball to assure me that spring is surely here. but man, my arm is tired now! lol... went to what i thought was going to be a super-pentecostal church this morning, but it wasn't quite as bad as i expected. still was an interesting service, but? nothing too much else to say... it is a beautiful sunday afternoon in the beggining of spring, and i am loving it! now if i only didn't have this silly paper to write... but? it's an easy one, so i am not worried. :)
