Dang stupid stress.  I have ANOTHER test tomorrow.  And homework due tonight.  What do I do?  Read for the test?  Get the homework done?  Skip church (and walk out on everyone expecting me to run PowerPoint)?  Pull another late night?


I'm ready for Thanksgiving break (because I'm gonna go see my nephew for the first time and Laura's coming with me)!


I was just sitting here in the caf (after talking to Freddy about the poor state of the Hub Exchange program) and looking out the window when I saw the way the sun was behind a cloud and all I could think about is the following line of a song we used to sing in my church back home:


 Oh the deep deep love of Jesus
vast unmeasured, boundless, free!


Somehow, nothing else really means much in comparison to that.  I'm thankful for moments to stop and realize that even if I flunk all my classes and don't graduate and my entire life falls apart, I'm still a part of something so big no one can understand it or destroy it.

Of Updates and Time


Alas, the semester is in full swing and I am low on free time.  I'm having a hard time keeping up with homework and TV is really becoming an issue.  I don't want to have a TV in my apartment when I graduate because I have better things to do with my time than sit there and stare at a little black box with a flashing screen.  I prefer white boxes that I can interact with (computers).


Speaking of, I finally got that small hard drive I was needing to get a linux box up and running.  Now I can't find my linux CDs.  I had a ton of distros and reorganized that CD wallet over the summer.  As a result, I can't find any of the older distros, and that computer doesn't have a DVD drive, so I can't instal Debian on it from the DVDs I made this summer.  I'll work on  that another day.


Laura's family is really cool.  Reminds me of my family (pre dad's passing) a lot.  I feel at home there and enjoyed getting to spend Sunday with them.


Well, time for lunch.  TTYL!

I would blog, but I'm too mad to say anything publicly right now.
