so this is how the past 8 weeks or so have been…

7 am-wake up
8 am-start work
noon-lunch
12:30-do homework
1 pm-back to work
5 pm-dinner
5:30-do homework
11:30/midnight-go to sleep

that’s right…homework…and a lot of it. i apologize for not blogging in a while. i have had a lot of things to say, it’s just that i’ve been, well, insanely busy. subsequently, any writing that didn’t reward my task-oriented, selfish, and over-achieving mind with some flavor of an “a” ultimately went unwritten.

this summer i have been managing a schedule that has included a full-time job at messiah college and two online classes (a theology class at messiah and an ecology class at hacc). originally i was hoping to get a part-time job over the weekends too…i’m glad that didn’t work out! here’s a free tip: take classes over the summer, but don’t take two AND have a full-time job. i’m not sure what i have is “burnout”…but there’s this unquenchable “worn” feeling deep within what the hebrew language refers to as my nefesh (plainly understood-and butchered-in contemporary evangelical terms this means the whole body…both the body and soul). i’m not tired…just worn. it’s weird. so don’t say i didn’t warn you.

quick recap since i’ve blogged last (and really the only thing that matters): the release of the new coldplay cd viva la vida! if you aren’t currently listening to this cd as you read these very words, you’re priorities aren’t set right! i know the critics have come down kind of hard on this cd. here’s the reality: coldplay at their worst is still infinitely better than most bands at their best. it’s good stuff and you NEED to be listening to it about 2 hours ago (so that by now you could have listened to it once, let it sink in, and have the same mindset as I do right now)! i started listening to coldplay after my first year of college and haven’t stopped…and this cd is already in my well-worn coldplay playlist. listen to it until you can put my blog post’s title in context. listen to it NOW!

in other news: LISTEN TO THE NEW COLDPLAY CD VIVA LA VIDA!

that is all.
