Are you for real?:

Ok - so it has been a while since I blogged last, most likely a week. I am going to try to be a little more faithful with it, but right now I am going crazy - go - nuts with my school work. I think that I have 4 major projects due next week, 2 of switch require speaking in front of the class. This means that I actually have to be familiar with my material.

One plus of the whole work this is that I get to preach on Monday. I am a little nervous about it, but then too, I am preaching the Word of God.... that is a huge responsibility. I just hope that I am up to that task.

I suppose another good thing that has been taking up my time is the undeniable fact that I now have a girlfriend.... no, really, I do have a girlfriend. In the words of Rob ... “and Damien is a ladies man... must be a sign of the Apocalypse.” I really hope that isn’t the case. I would have to say that I am quite happy with how things are going. I definitely think she’s a keeper... even after two days and 12+ hours! Of course we did take 2 weeks to hang out and make sure that we were both looking at things the same way.

Though this blog is entitled My Personal Soap opera, I plan to keep all the details off of this blog. I think whatever happens it is between Becca and I and really shouldn’t be posted all over the internet. Sorry all. However I will just say that I have a wickedly cool girlfriend and friend in Ms. Rebecca Miller.

Stick-to-itiveness:

I can make it... I ... must. .. make ... it ... through this class... So tired right now... I think that I will be crashing some time after 11:30 tonight. I am going to the game tonight with Becca and I will spend time with God! I am resolved to do both. Maybe not in that particular order, but before I can go to bed, I am doing both.

As for now, I endure the last of three hours of sheer boredom. The only things that make this class better than eternal punishment is that I am not separated from God, my flesh is not melting, and there is the hope of a tomorrow. And tomorrow will be good.

I will not divulge my “evil plan” for tomorrow quite yet. Though it is not exactly evil... actually there is no criminal element to it. Tomorrow is D-day, if you know what I mean. If you don’t - you’ll just have to wait to hear about it... and if I don’t tell you, it is because you are on a need to know basis and you don’t need to know ;).

Ten... more... minutes... until.... class... is... over...

A Case of the Mondays:

“Have you ever gone into at the beginning of the week with a bad mood and someone says: ‘Oh, looks like someone has a case of the Mondays’ ?”

“No man, no..... crap no, someone is liable to get their rear kicked.” - Office Space

I’m a little cranky this morning. Yes, it is Monday morning and I did have a grand weekend, but not getting any sleep kind of takes away from the whole waking experience. I did try to sleep. I was even in bed before 1 (around 12ish). Unfortunately fo me, I had a lovely case of insomnia last night.

It is very difficult to be awake right now. I will not be getting my 3 hours nap today... the days of that are over. Student preaching starts this week and I offered to video tape the sermons today at 11. Of course, I would be there anyway because of the split in class. The bonus to that is now my 1:30 - 2:30 slot is open. This means that I could sleep an hour plus.... or spend more time with Becca after lunch.

Whatever the case is, I need sleep. My eyes hurt, I can’t concentrate, and I’m not feeling the whole “class” thing today. I’m shot right now. I really didn’t try to not sleep last night, sleep just never happened.
