inwardly sighing

today was kind of a weird day. got a nap or two in ;) i've missed those! got out of public speaking...that was nice. but it was weird for more reasons. there've been a lot of things on my mind.

christmas break is so close and yet so far. one more week of classes and four days of finals and yet it still feels a million miles away.

i love meeting new people. there are so many amazing ppl here and i've met so many since i've been here. but, as much as i luv that, i've been realizing lately that in meeting new people, i lose the time that i used to spend with other friends. friends that i really enjoyed spending time with. friends that i still want to spend time with. friends that i end up missing....when we live on the same campus...or the same dorm...

january first can't come fast enough. nuff said.

i wish there were more than 24 hours in a day. no, i take it back. i wish ppl only needed like 4 hours of sleep so that we would all have THAT much more time to hang out. that would go a long way in solving that other problem.

i'm always up for a good philosophical slash theological discussion every once in a while. it's generally intellectually stimulating and my brain enjoys the work out. but lately i've taken to thinking.....do those things really matter? does it matter exactly what a certain word was meant to be translated as, whether we were predestined or not, or what Paul meant by a certain verse? as my AP bio and chem teacher liked to say, God is not going to condemn someone to hell because they believed the world was created in 7 days or 7000. so what's the point of arguing?!?!

ok....i'm sure it's just going to degenerate from here seeing as it's pretty late (or early if you're elijah) and my awaken-ness from the bitter cold outside seems to be wearing off. i think i'll be off to bed.....
