Summer Vacation = One Week

Finished what equates to being my fourth semester of school. Couple credits short of being a junior due to the restrictions I had on my first semester. I do get the joys of taking a full load this semester to catch up. By spring I will be 6 credits short of senior status. Its a shame that doesn't really make a difference since I will still have to go 4 full years due to the layout of Malone's program.

Somedays, I'm really glad I'm back in school. Some of those days make me feel like I'm going so far back in time and having to put life off. Its like I was told at COTL before... I just need to learn to deal with the menial tasks until I get fully in depth with my major and my desires.

That's a funny thought though... "my desires." A few years ago I would have scoffed at that notion. What do my desires have to do with anything besides being to chase after God and letting his desires matter. It seems I have so many more desires now... Not desires that exclude God, just in addition. I still have a hard time reconciling those. Is it okay to desire to to meet my girlfriend's needs and try to put her in an important place? Is it okay to desire a job that uses my attributes to their fullest? Is it okay to desire a place to worship where I'm not just worshipping but involved in the dirtiness of people's lives and them in mine?

I can't wait to take a break from around here and go visit my best friend in the world; even if he doesn't have a phone to answer my call or call me back...hopefully he sends me a message telling me the weekend of June 10th is a good weekend!
