I did it! I successfully completed my first full week of graduate school assignments. I read over 600 pages in one week... for class! I can't believe it! My classes went really well... I participated in the discussions, I knew what we were talking about and didn't get lost, and most of all I enjoyed it!!! I was so proud of myself for my dedication and will power that I gave myself the day off today. I slept in, and then spent the day organizing my apartment, watching a few TV shows online, etc. I got to relax a bit...
Dun, dun, dun...
I just looked at all my articles that I have printed off for this week. I don't even want to know the page count. In my head I'm saying... "What do you mean I have to do it all over again? I did it. I finished..." Ok, I'm not naive or dumb enough to have actually thought it was just going to be one tough week with a buttload of reading... that being said, that this is my reality for ALL of my next forseeable future is slightly discouraging to say the least! I know I can do it, but seriously... I think this counts as cruel and unusal treatment of human beings!
Please keep in mind and heart all the victims of the earthquake that hit New Zealand. I'm really starting to wonder... are these natural disasters following me? If so... watch out D.C.! :)
But on a serious note, the damage looked pretty incredible and I know there are a lot of people facing hard times right now. Keep them in your prayers.
On another note: I've done a lot of reading on the Salvadoran Civil War and the Rwandan Genocide this week. Our world is one great big mess. Supposedly we learned our lessons from examples like WWII and the Holocaust... I'm convinced we haven't really learned anything yet. Mustn't God be so dissappointed in "His" people? I am.
Until next time, KK
What an accomplishment, you made it through the first week and are well aware of what is to come. You wisely took some time off. God taught us the lesson of getting rest.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately man tends to repeat his mistakes instead of learning from them. When God gave man free will that is the result.
Saw Jessi this morning and she is so happy that she now has her assignment and she got to spend time with Emily.
Have a blessed week. Audre
