I wasn't really planning on this.
Today I read a list that gave 37 things we should do to be healthier. One of them was to rise with the sun, and sleep as it does.
I thought it was such a smashingly good idea that I quickly bounded to my dorms from work and tried to make myself sleepy.
But when you're on a B-shift internal clock, the sleepy fairy really doesn't want to kick in until at least about 11:30, usually closer to 1:00 am.
And so now I'm sitting having just ordered a used novel off of Amazon, some book about a bear that has 13 1/2 lives. I started reading it last time I was at Borders at home and I quite enjoyed the whole 3 pages that I read.
I've realized that I want to be much more deliberate with my time because it's almost like it slips through your fingers here at this internship. The day is chock full of tasks to accomplish, but unless guidelines are set then I fall subject to the "tyranny of the urgent."
Basically, whatever's loudest and in front of you will get addressed first while the actually important things get pushed aside.
That has been my life for the last year and a half.
But I think my King is slowly and gently showing me just how much zanier I've become because I've let in that mentality.
I love you all with the love of Jesus Christ. Figure out how immeasurable that is.
