Stream of Conscience

“Just tune in, turn off, drop out, drop in, switch off, switch on, and explode”

So this week has been absolutely, positively, without a doubt one of the busiest weeks I have ever experienced. I was scheduled to work 30 hours this week in addition to my normal class load. I had a political science paper due tuesday. I thought it was due thursday when I found out Tuesday that it’s due Tuesday. I had about half of it completed. So I finished my day classes and ran home. I decided to skip my boring night class to finish my poli. sci. paper. I still had a test in plato, a paper in strategic management, and a test in auditing to study for. Wednesday i called off work and started studying for my tests. I found out wednesday that my strategic management paper was pushed back till a date to be determined. Yesterday came and went. I took my tests and Plato went a lot better than i thought it would. Auditing went as well as I thought.

 “Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box; they tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe.”

Lately I’ve been kinda down. I’m sure the sheer exhaustion has a lot to do with it. Right now Kelly and I are living off what little income we have plus what’s left of my savings. For a guy that’s huge… for me (an accountant) it’s even more so. We’re banking so much my getting a good job. I need money to cover expenses plus start saving again. It’s always on the the back of my mind, but I have faith God will provide for us. I’ve also been really self-conscious about my appearance. Over the past few months I’ve put on about 20 pounds… which is really noticeable. I’ve decided to start exercising regularly, and I’ve changed my diet already… it’s hard when a double cheeseburger is so much cheaper than salad stuff. I just don’t need to be stressed about this when there’s a lot of other stuff going on. For now, I’ll be like the blue people…

 

“They’re great! They’re just… chilled out!”  

Married life is better than ever. Kelly’s been wonderful and supportive through everything. She’s amazing and I love her so much. We’re surviving though. Keeping faith that God will take care of us when we get to Cumberland.
