so in 6 months or so, i've completed two distance ed seminars...with everything being done on time and with a fairly valiant effort! i remember the days where i'd cram everything in at the last minute and still hand it in late, resulting in a mediocre (but passing) grade (that's right, d's for "done"...thanks for that, jen).
in the case of my first class, i even handed everything in with a week left to spare before my due date. this time, i only went 3 days early. but in all fairness, life is only slightly chaotic at the moment with the youth conference and worship night coming up so quickly. i don't plan on registering for any other classes until the middle of may, at this point...and in the meantime i can concentrate, with a bit less stress, on other matters at hand.
i had a great convo tonight for about an hour with one of my favourite youth (yup, sorry people, i actually have favourites - but keep in mind that if you're reading this, you're likely one of them). it was a really great convo about all sorts of life things, and at times i feel i have little or no room to give advice on certain issues, considering i'm nowhere near perfect and i've barely got an idea of what my purpose is on this earth.
right now, i guess, my purpose is to pray for the people i committed to praying for. i've been slacking a bit, feeling like i'm running dry on things to pray for, for each person...it feels like it's getting a little monotonous. i guess it's good that april is coming up and it's time to add to the list :) now i just gotta figure out who's next! i'm kind of excited about it...
but mostly at this point i'm feeling mostly worn out. i suppose i'm not doing myself any favours by staying up to listen to my "sedation" playlist on itunes and write in my blog. i guess i'm just really into my chill out music to try and find some peace. i think i might even burn this onto a few cd's tonight, considering i have to save up a bit before buying my first post-cat-surgery toy.
just for fun, here are a few links to songs that are particularly effective at chilling me out. you might like em...
