Tired But Going

Things have been interesting for me. I really don't like all the pile-up at the end of the semester and every year I try to work ahead, but something always gets in my way. Oh well.

Yesterday should have been the most stressful day because I had a group presentation, 4 classes (starting at 8am and ending at 10pm), a late group paper, meditations to finish, Psalm 103 to memorize, and no time. The meditations (which were supposed to be done gradually every week... ya, that didn't happen) were on Psalm 103, which I had only been able to memorize half of up until that point. So I walked around campus with a little note card and recited scripture all day. That night as I was walking back from class I realized that I was smiling and feeling good in general. It dawned on me that reciting scripture is probably a pretty good stress reliever for psychological as well as spiritual reasons. At any rate, it was really fun to realize that I was doing okay.

And even though I do feel a little anxiety about the two research papers that are due next week, which I haven't been able to work on, my only real deficiency right now is that I'm not getting enough sleep. When I barely function on 7 hours and I go for three nights with 5, 5, and 3 hours... that's not a good thing. So I'm very tired and I'm still awake because I'm still writing a paper that's due at 8am. It's turning out to be easier than I thought, though, I just needed a little break. So, TTFN!
