It is 9:15 NEW time, but my body still feels like it is 10:15. Considering I work in the morning, that would mean it is bed time. But it's only 9:15!! Gah!
Last week was horrific- and it was supposed to be relaxing after the week before. *sigh* That's alright, it only means that this week has no option but to be better. I mean, really, very little could happen that would make this week worse than the past two. I don't want to rant about the details; everything has been taken care of and/or fixed, so I can once again focus on school, work, and graduate school applications.
I have so much on my brain right now- and my heart for that matter- that I am finding it difficult to focus on my studies. I don't know why all of these things are coming up now; I know I need to at least think about them, but quite frankly I don't have time for this! And yet, I can't, and shouldn't, ignore these things...what a dilemma.
Totally off topic, I've noticed a very interesting/strange thing. Have you ever found yourself suddenly thinking of someone for no reason at all, only to then go out and find you've received a message from them? This has actually happened to me, on multiple occasions, but only with one individual. I had no reason to be thinking about them; in fact, I was asleep! I was sleeping, and having some sort of dream, and suddenly they were there, in the dream. I woke up, thinking it strange, took care of some stuff, then checked my e-mail and found a message from them that had been sent while I was sleeping. Too weird. Just thought I'd share.
Back to school work...I was reading the book of Dueteronomy today for my Hebrew Bible class. Let me just say, out of all of the books of the Hebrew Bible, Dueteronomy is right up there with Leviticus and Numbers as far as interesting narratives go. I haven't even gotten to the largest section, which contains the 613 Judaic laws. SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN!! I am finding myself struggling with the God portrayed in the Old Testament. I know that it was written in a different context, to a different audience, and for a different purpose than the New Testament, but still. I am sure I will have more to write about this later.
I apologize for the missing train of thought from this entry, but I did title these as musings.
