For some time now, I have been stuck in the Regent library, writing papers, looking for articles on-line, going over rough drafts, sorting through commentaries... all of which have served a greater purpose (to turn in assignments, to be informed on certain things, to study the Word, to get good grades). But being sick makes it a ton worse (there is seemingly a flu virus roaming around campus, but it managed to follow me home the other day). I am sure that I am driving everyone crazy with all my sniffing and sneezing... but I have nowhere else to go - the library has the books I need on reserve! So I remain in this little 3 foot by 3 foot cubicle, with the only seat on this side of the building that has no window next to it.
But praise God... I am at a place that I enjoy being... with good friends that I enjoy... a good apartment to come home to... food in the fridge... hot water for the numerous showers that I have been taking during my recent infirmity... way too many good things in my life to complain about having to get a bunch of junk done before the weekend. Perspective... perspective... perspective.
On a lighter note... check out Midsummer's website! An old college friend of mine is in the band. I have been listening to them a bunch lately. (I highly recommend this song, which you can find on their website with a couple other good tunes!) They supposedly have a new release just around the corner. Check 'em out!
