Procrastinating

I somehow clicked something and my words began appearing in Hindi instead of English. Wierd.
I have made noble strides towards effectively procrastinating today. I have downloaded new Christmas music from old CD's onto Itunes on my computer, cleaned Mom's kitchen, cleaned out my text inbox on my out-of-date phone, continued making preliminary plans for seeing more family during the middle of the month. Etc.
All good things.
Still procrastinating.
See, I'm taking Theology 1 this semester, and
I
don't
want
to.
I don't mind sitting in class, its just the textbook is a bear. Its very interesting for about three pages and then it becomes an excellent cure for insomnia.
I don't want to read.
I don't want to read.
I don't want to read.
I actually don't have to read, however it would be smart to begin reading it now so that I'm ahead of schoolwork. And, as my boyfriend says, 'we like being smart!'
We do?! I'm perfectly fine with dumb right now, thank you!
*sigh*
I'm sure in five months once I've graduated I'll look back fondly with remembering the good ol' days of college. At least, thats what my middle-aged friends tell me. My friend who graduated last May says that she is still of the opinion that it is all lies, and she is GLAD she has no more homework! She is GLAD she gets to read for pleasure!
Oh well. This is my final semester as an Undergrad. My final semester of trying to balance cramming classes in so that I can get al my requirements complete before the scholarship runs out, as well as trying to balance my inner need for socializing with learning which socializing persons and events need to be 'culled from my schedule' as well as making sure I"m working enough hours to cover living expenses and have a little wiggle room for inevitable unexpected medical or travel expenses (of which I've had many! yeesh!)
I'm excited to be finishing this season and anxious to learn what God has for the next season. However, He's never let me know ahead of time what is to come, very last minute. So I'll continue Serving Him Blind and praying that I'm doing so faithfully.
It struck me the other night as I was brushing my teeth just how blessed I was. I have access to clean water, surrounded by people who, however irritating they get, love me and I love them, am safe from invasion or kidnapping, have acccess to good Churches and faithful Christians. Transportation isn't always dependable for me personally but there are multiple people willing to give me free rides to wherever I need to go. I'm educated, intelligent, happy, and Saved. Life is good.
Happy New Year!
