Yes. At Grace's party, another friend of hers sang/played on the guitar the song "See You Soon". Ever since, my obsession for their music has renewed. I can't remember if I'd said it before but their music truly resonates with me and how I think with their moods, melodies and lyrics. It will be a truly sad day for me when they no longer produce music. i don't even want to think about it...!
School
Classes start Thursday. I'm excited and a bit anxious. I'm taking only 13 hours but it's three science classes (physics 1: 1000 level course, organic chemistry 2 and organic spectroscopy: 3000) and an education course (4000 level course!). I'm also going to be a TA for a couple physiological chemistry labs (taught by the same instructor as my organic spec class). Throw in field experience for my education class, attempting to keep some social contact, be creative (I must return to writing, journal coding&design, etc!), and most importantly focus on God and grow in faith...that's a lot!
It's okay, though (I guess). When I'm busy, I have purpose. Last semester, I was too busy and basically...this needs a metaphor. (I'm a metaphorically thinking kind of girl, ya know?) Juggling. Yes, that fits. 13 hours is just right, I can handle juggling that course load and do what I love/need to do. Last semester I was at 16 and in my attempt to juggle everything, most of the balls were dropped (or at least the more expensive ones, tuition isn't cheap)so I actually got little-to-nothing done. Too little (like staying home and playing WoW all day), and it gets boring. No challenge! I lose focus, suffer from apathy and melancholy sets in. Yes, this will do nicely.
Life in general.
Dear Grace is leaving us for a semester abroad. Keep her in your prayers. I'll post a prayer now, actually.
Abba, You are so awesome. Your love is more than we can ever know or even hold. We know you are with us. We know You'll take care of her. Let her be a light to those she meets and to grow more in You. Keep her safe. Help her to see more of the good in the world and those in it.
For those that will miss her, may we also grow in You and be a blessing to those around us. Help us to focus on what matters and not stress over everything. You've got it under control. May we learn more about our respective disciplines, Your Word, and You. May we grow closer together; caring, loving, supporting, exhorting, and teaching each other.
We thank You so much for Your love and sacrifice. In Your son's name, Amen.
