Even though the semester just started two and a half weeks ago, I have already taken up my revered position as chief procrastinator.
Sometimes, my socialbility can be a hindrance to my schoolwork. Pretty obvious really.
I have about 300 pages of Jonathan Edwards to read. It's not as compelling as John Wesley, unfortunately. He often just repeats himself incessantly. I also have to read parts of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and some stuff for other classes. 14 units is not a huge workload, but I'm shifting the focus of my workload from one 12-unit class to 14 units spread over five classes, which requires a major change in study habits.
One of my favorite bands is the Decemberists. A lot of their songs are about fatally destructive relationships, yet they seem so romantic. It's mostly likely because of the juxtaposition of beautiful, chordant music with twisted, dark lyrics. It makes me wonder, though, why dark and dysfunctional relationships seem so romantic.
Orthodox people party at my apartment on Friday. I'm nervous AND excited, because there are so many new Orthodox people at Biola. I made a list. It's pretty awesome.
Back to Jonathan Edwards.
