my head is spinning, my days are finished..
this week left me completely exhausted. i was either working on stuff for the church internship, writing for the other internship, at school or doing hours and hours of homework. then this weekend, i've had to get up early both days, leave by 9:30 in the morning and not get back home until late at night.
although it was a long day yesterday, i actually had a pretty good time. i went on a little family outing to mt. vernon, texas where my grandma was born and raised. we visited relatives and they told us family history (i love that type of stuff) and took us around town to show us where her childhood home was, etc. we also went to the cementaries where both my great and great-great grandparents were buried. it was neat, if in a slightly morbid way. but the coolest part was that we went to the "jefferson county geneological society" and they had a copy of my grandma's 1939 high school yearbook. it was the first year the school made a yearbook. and knowing me, i was very excited to see this. i love old yearbooks.
today was a little more stressful. i had to attend a church staff meeting and man.. it lasted three hours! it felt like forever. then i had to rush to get together a lesson for the youth girl's bible study i was suppossed to teach tonight. but no one showed up (the youth group only has about 5 people in it, so i somewhat expected it, especially because we didn't promote it very much). then i went over to my uncle's house and we had a little mavs watching party. go mavs.. i guess.. if you know me, you know i honestly don't care much, but it is cool how far they've gone. i think we're gonna win it!
speaking of my church internship.. the church secretary is having surgery this week, so i have to be at the church from 8:30am to 4:30pm this thursday and friday and everyday the next week to basically sit there and answer phones all day. i'm really not too happy about it, because that is a LOT of time to put in for someone who is NOT getting paid. and it has nothing to do with a publications internship. i'm a little frustrated with the whole thing. but of course, i can't say no.
please pray that i can relax. i know that sounds silly, but i have a hard time letting myself relax. i have so many responsibilies and they are all just constantly hanging over my head.
