Grad Loans

I finished signing up for my fall classes and have discovered that it is going to be about $250 more than I had anticipated. So, my next step? Fill out the damn FAFSA. I had hoped to avoid doing this so that I wouldn't be tempted to try for another loan, but I think I am going to need at least a little bit of help. It's a bit late in the year, but usually loans are done with no problem (I hope). At least now I have the forms filled out in case a scholarship arises.

Argh - Keys!!

I have lost my work keys! I had them yesterday when I visited my classroom, and they were hanging around my neck when I left, but now I have no clue where I have put them! I really hope that I find them so that I do not have to ask for a new set. Everyone already knows how forgetful I am - this would be too much.

Yep Yep

Yet another busy week. School will be starting relatively soon but it does not seem as if I have truly had much of a vacation. In the beginning we had struck the right amount of busy-ness, but now it is getting to be too much. I am edgy and my head feels full of straw. Also, I have not been able to go to the gym for quite awhile and this really irritates me.

In a way, I am kind of looking forward to school beginning again so that I can have a routine. Not as much free time and not as much sleep, but structure. On the other hand, I am not looking forward to grading papers or going back to graduate school.

It is what it is, I suppose.

Contradiction

Oi. So earlier today I was listening to Christian music and feel uplifted; then later today I was engaged in a heavy kissing session with a guy whom I have just become acquainted (long story, maybe I'll tell it some other time). Not very Christ-like, is it?

*Sigh* It's times like these that I feel like I am a fraud.



ETA: Argh, I can still smell his cologne! It's not a bad thing, per se, just a . . . thing.

Song from Earlier

Here's my current favorite from Christian artists: "My Savior My God" by Aaron Shust. I included a YouTube video below if you are interested. This is a video created by a member, not live footage; however, live footage can be found on the site.

Cheers,

Ring Tones & Christian Music

I finally got around to finding a new ring tone today: "Tubular Bells", from The Exorcist. I also downloaded the theme music from Halloween. Much better than "Trip Like I Do", I might add (not that I "trip" - just that I like the music).

I also listened to the local Christian radio station. It's amazing how uplifted I feel just by listening to a few songs, and how my thoughts turn more toward God. The music itself merely acts as a catalyst.

Cloud On My Tongue

Don't stop now what you're doing
What you're doing my ugly one
Bring them all here
Hard to hide a hundred girls in your hair
It won't be fair if I hate her
If I ate her
You can go now

-- Tori Amos
