My internal clock vs. the rest of the world's
Why do I always get the urge to write between 2-3 AM?
If I try to force something, it rarely works. For papers, I have to discipline myself and set deadlines.
Tonight I read a blog about sexuality and other related issues, and all I could think about while reading it was what I was going to say in response. I sure as heck hope I've got more empathetic listening skills in real conversations (which I think I do). Writing is different, though...if I read something I really get into, I get excited. I just wish I didn't have the urge to write it now, though...it's a little inconvenient, as I'll want to sleep to well past 11 tomorrow.
In other news, I started the M.A. in Christian Ed program, and I am the new children's and youth ministry intern at First Congregational Church of Evanston. I'm excited, scared and happy. I think it'll be great experience, though, and will round out my "practical" experience (since I've worked with every other age group).
In any case...going to try to wait until tomorrow to reply to the blog, unless I just can't sleep (which would be ridiculous).
