Hello again... well, this is Sept 11.
In every single one of my classes today we had a few minutes of silence for the 19 BU students and 10+ Alumni that died in the attacks...
That was wild. That is officially the closest I've ever felt to the void that was created on that day.
In other stuff, someone wrote this quote on the inside of a birthday card that they gave me:
"To see a world in a grain of sand
and beauty in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour."
-W. Blake
I like that. I REALLY like that. And no comments about this please (here or elsewhere), but I also really like the person that gave that to me. And I'm not sure which part of that suprises me more... finding a sensitivity for poetry that I didn't know I had (except my LOVE for Rilke's poems), or the other... and its a really cute card too... it has puppies on it. And that makes me miss Stormy and Dex.
'tis a confusing time.
And its finally MY weekend!!! I'm so happy!!!! I finally get to sleep more than a few hours!!!! YAY!!! I didn't sleep at all last night, with the exception of a 30 min rest I took laying on my bed (I fell asleep for about 5 min). It was a horrible night... well, except for the guys dragging me out of my room to "celebrate" my birthday. That was fun!! But the rest of the night was spent reading, re-reading, and finally writing a paper on Paul Tillich's "Systematic Theology". Absolutely disgusting book. Uck. Never again will I read any portion of that WITHOUT putting up a fight! Oh well... it was one of the worst papers that I've ever written too... mostly because I couldn't even get a faint grasp on the topic that I was supposed to be writing on. Grrr.....
Moving on...
So I talked to a lot of people yesterday on the phone too! I love hearing from people!! It really made my day yesterday... but today was definately better.
So its been a god day... oops, that was supposed to say "good day". But either way it works.
I need a new background. And I don't have the time to pick anything out... this sucks. I'm tired of looking at the Home Depot boxes and the Crappercrombie bag. I even think I just had an idea of what pic to use... but I'm not sure that it'll work. But it'd be nice... so maybe when I FRICKIN' GET MY INTERNET CONNECTION I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!! Grrr.... I want it NOW! I'm greedy. Oh well.... I just need for them to come out and just install the cable jacks on the walls. Thats all I need.... but noooooo..... its gotta be delayed. Grr...
Jess, I forgot to call you. I am sorry. I might try to call you tonight.... you always did like to be nosy about my stuff... so I can tell you some stuff... but I have to wait until 9 my time... stinkin' nighttime min... ;o)
Anywho... thanks all for reading my ranting... I'm scarred to see what kind of reactions I'll get to this post. But I promise... I'll explain more later. I'm being vague for a reason... and thats because I need prayer about some decisions in my life right now... and until I get that, I have to listen to my brain... and that is not the best idea right now, 'cause its just plain dead.
Take care and God bless.
