Musings from the Hill - 9-27-08

Its been a good day. I've done absolutely nothing.

Now I need to head back to campus and start cleaning/organizing my new room. It sucks, but it'll be better than walking around boxes every day.

I plan to throw on some loud music and just do my thing. Lord willing not too many people are in the dorm so I don't disturb them with my heathen music.

I don't know why I got on here. I was gonna' write a big post about hip-hop and theology...but no. I'm just gonna' change my pants and hit the road.

Musings from Campus - 9-9-08

Well...life is what it is.

Which isn't too bad at all. The first three (or is it four...) weeks of school have been a roller coaster. Stress, drama, more stress, sleeplessness, fear, drama, sickness...that about covers it.

RA training week went just fine, and then Welcome Weekend started. Everything went according to plan (assuming the plan was "Expend yourself until there's no end and then not sleep before doing the same thing tomorrow"), and then school started. Miscellaneous drama with friends and students and everyone in between led to a few sleepless nights.

All the while, I have been trying to figure out what I'm going to be doing with my life. I finally, and albeit reluctantly, took it to God in prayer. And I decided there was only one thing I truly felt comfortable with...thus, I have a girlfriend now. She goes to school here with me, is a fellow RA, and a stagehand. More on her in another post.

And life...seems much better now. I've not discovered the secret or planned the next 5 years...but its better. I smile when I wake up and I smile when I go to bed. I smile during the day and I lift hands and prayers to a God who loves me.

I do miss my Michigan folks, however. I love Kentucky, I love my family and my friends here on God's side of the river. But I also enjoy sitting at B-Dubs or the Rock or just Panera and laughing and talking and bullshitting with my boys. I live a torn life...and I couldn't be happier.

Well, I'm going to get off of here now and do some writing. Until next time...

(PS - This post skips. Sorry. My mind isn't organized for blogging at the moment.)
