Since I last wrote my cat has finished another cycle around the sun as has my eldest niece. The end of my twenty-fifth cycle is almost here. Class sessions have gone, papers have been written, books and related have been read, to various degrees. Several worship services have taken place, bills have been paid, registration forms sent in and so much more.
Random thoughts, random ideas flow into ones mind as time goes by. They cause one to stop and to think, or maybe just to laugh. Smiles come and go, friendships start to form. It is all part of life.
I wish I had a job, yet trying to find one that will work with my schedule is not the easiest thing. If I had a job I would worry a little less, and do more. As it is my budget is tight, and I am unable to make the trips I feel I need to make, or want to make. (Such as JWHA conference this weekend, or the upcoming Peace Colloquy, or ….) Oh how I wish I could just get up and go to these events. My class schedule is laid out near perfectly for me to go to weekend events…
Mid-term Recess starts on the 10, it’s hard to believe the term is that far through. If all goes well, the last part of break I will be spending in Kirtland at the priesthood and leaders retreat. I almost went up on the 21, just to sit in the gardens and write a paper that was due Wednesday, however at the last minute decided against. Instead, I put the paper of til Saturday, and then only the first half, leaving the rest til Tuesday evening. My procrastination is not as bad as it once was, but I still need to work on it a bit.
All in all things have been good. A have been fairly happy these past few weeks, with only a few exceptions. School for the most part is enjoyable, though some class sessions of two of my classes I am unable to stay focus or feel like I am truly gaining much from. I think I know why for both of them, and for both there is not a lot that can be done from my perspective. I am gaining insight, just not staying focused or feeling like I am learning while in them. However, overall I have been happy and glad to be at school again. It does feel good to be back at it once again.
Well I have rambled on enough for today.
Peace and take care,
