ARGHF
Is that a word? I hope not.
I am in the deepest throes of procrastination right now, and I don't know how in the world to get out of them. I've been trying to work on my exam for Pauline Epistles tonight and am getting NOWHERE. First of all, I've barely written anything since last semester (except LJ entries and emails) and my writing is not up to snuff. When I'm journaling or emailing I just kinda go with whatever I feel like writing and so on and so forth... yeah... it doesn't HAVE to flow and make sense. At least not to me... it might be nicer for everyone who is subjected to my writing if it made sense, but all I have to say to that is TOUGH.
I started on the first essay for PE (no, NOT as easy as phys ed, I wish!) but am not really getting anywhere. "Discuss how 'worldly wisdom' adn carnality has inflitrated the Church (North American Christianity, with the exception of the international students), the Christians you know and love, and even your own mind. What do you propose to do to reverse this spiritually un-wise cultural programming? I guess my research comes in on the "what do I plan to do" part... it doesn't sound so bad after all, maybe I'll try to hit that one again. There's four others, discussing the Ascetic and libertine tendencies in the church in Corinth and in the church today, "a friend tells you he is gay, what do you do and say?" and "Abuse and abandonment by a professing Christian" in which a female friend's husband beat and left her and the two kids... what do I say to her and the people in the church, etc.
But yeah. I stood in the library after I was going to come back over here and work, talked to Nathan (freshman in chorale, decent chap) for about 20 minutes, then got back to the dorm where girls were sitting in the hall working on someone's "Rainbow Brite" costume for the masquerade on Friday (which I am skipping due to a date with Paul of Tarsus). So I sat out in the hall and talked to them for a while too. On top of all of this, I am falling WAYYYY behind in reading for other classes and I'm not getting any work on the costumes done - EEK!!! Advising for next semester starts next week which means we get to figure out our new schedules soon - WHOO HOO. I can't WAIT. I get to take a lot of music classes next semester too - on top of two science courses, one lab and one non-lab. Eich. Maybe I won't get into the research program I applied for and will be able to do minimester and take a lab. Or maybe I'll be able to just wait three weeks... that's almost a month's less salary, but we'll manage somehow.
Grr... just got disconnected for lack of network activity, guess that means I need to stop wasting time and get to work on this test. I'll write more next time I come to a writing block.
