Bridge Over Troubled Water

Last night I slept longer than I have all quarter, except perhaps when I was sick at the beginning. My roommate seemed disapproving, which actually succeeded in irritating me. That aside, it was wonderful. It certainly put me behind on my mental schedule for the day, but I suppose that people will just have to get my graduation announcements one day later. It doesn't really matter except for the party invitations anyway, and the people who are going to come to that probably won't be affected by a day's delay. And somehow my homework continues to get done...

Remember how I scrapped the Sherlock Holmes essay because it wasn't working? Well, I ended up profiling the family minivan that I used to drive and personally thought the essay lacked the "so what" factor and also lacked the cultural element that I was trying to drive home (no pun intended). Anyway, I wasn't satisfied with it, but the peer reviews on Wednesday were universally effusive. Seriously. They were pretty much the most concentratedly positive of anyone's all quarter, which was rather unnerving. Now my teacher has super high expectations of my last (and by FAR hardest) essay due in less than two weeks that I have yet to start. The thought just exhausts me further.

I've turned off emotion regarding the job process today because it was becoming too overwhelming. I find myself unable to be glad or even excited that Samaritan's Purse has finally become enthused with me as a candidate. I'm leaning toward the Lifewater position, but I don't know if that is even an option. What I DO know is that the Lord has a purpose for this confusing sequence of events that began about two weeks ago. Hopefully it's over soon.

I just realized that I'm going to be late again meeting Kara to edit our senior project. Oops.
