to study or not to study

May 30th, 2006

At the moment, and for the next two weeks, I should be studying. I have two finals next week and a research paper due the week after next. One final is in Greek, which I love; the other in Systematic Theology, which I appreciate, but there’s not as much love there. And all in all, it has been such rewarding journey…

In any case, I am procrastinating.

When it comes to studying, I cram. I morph into “no sleep required” mode and I get it done.

But, a week before a final or a paper due date, I am doing anything but studying.

So far this method has been successful for me in terms of grades, but it stresses me out and I think my morphing scares my husband. I become a different person when I am writing a paper that is due in less than 24 hours.

After one intense marathon-like studying stretch, I recall catching a glimpse of myself in the rearview mirror of my car on the last day of all my deadlines, and I did NOT look good!!! I hadn’t really looked in a mirror for a few days, so when I saw my reflection, it was striking that I could literally see the effects of the stress and decressed sleep upon my poor face. Not a pretty sight.

So for my husband, for those around me and for my skin, I’m going to study, now.


To vox or not to vox

May 25th, 2006

OK, so I missed the boat on blogging (a journey that 60 million are already on) and MySpace (with its 80 million or so profiles)…
So, when I first heard about voxing (just yesterday) I thought that I’d missed the boat again. But apparently, this time around, I didn’t! If I heard correctly, Voxtropolis is still tied to the dock for another 8-9 months before it’s launch.

So, why vox?* Why get on board this ship?*

I think I get it, but I’m not all together certain. And what’s more, I sense that He wants me engaged here.

For now, I’m just putting my thoughts into action along the journey

*Inform me, please!!!
