kiralamouseSorry, had to get that last entry out of my system. Who said irritation was always rational, or never hypocritical? But now I think a real update is in order.
Semester looks to be good, if a bit insane. I'm going to be having tons of fun (really, no sarcasm) with my 17th Century English Lit (yay, Donne!), my surveys of Western music and drama, and even my English Grammar class. I'm not quite sure how it happened; I have to say, I'd have been thrilled for an excuse to drop my only Friday class, or my only 8:00 class, or the stupid grammar class that's going to keep me here til the very last exam. As a senior who's been a good little girl and gotten ahead on her credit hours, I'm entitled to strip down to only three classes this semester; I could have dropped any of them. But the 17th Century Lit has an awesome (if tough) professor, the drama course will be interesting and cover a lot of ground I've missed, and the grammar class seems to have a great prof with a sense of humor. Sigh. I'm committed. The workload shouldn't be any worse than usual, although it probably won't be much better, either - which is a problem, since I also have job Issues.
First, I need a job this semester. (I'm down to less than fifty dollars to my name after I finish getting textbooks. Not good.) Second, I need to find a job for after I graduate. This will involve figuring out what career path I want to take, which might take a sizable amount of my time. And it's not like I have a whole lot to start with.
At this point, though, it's the start of a semester. Time for optimism, time for a life, and time to take the plunge. Right now, I'm going to have to trust God to see me through. And right now, I'm okay with that - the real issue will be showing the initiative on my part. And once I manage that, keeping my trust in God. I'm not too good at that happy medium. Pray for me. And I'm going to try to survive this semester. It should be interesting, to say the least!
