Efficiency I

We are not as good as God at burning away the chaff. What's cluttering up your threshing room floor?

First Day of a Rare Old Person at IU

As I sit here gazing at the treetops out of the window of the HG Wells Library on the Bloomington IU campus, I find a rare peaceful moment in what has been an otherwise aggravating day.

Everyday

I read in one of my journals that, as hard as it is to swallow sometimes for my somewhat perfectionist, OCD nature, we journal when we are ready and when we don't have anything, forcing it might not be the best idea.

I had a wonderful time at camp. I met so many nice people and got a great workout. I probably will go into more detail later, but I loved the campfire. I really liked singing along and making up harmonies with the guitars and violins, even if only a select few could hear me. I would like to ask Jesus for His will, and I would love if that included me singing.

"Can I Cook, or Can't I?"

It's the idea of ingredients together that can make a good or bad life (paraphrase, Girlfriends in God, 4/26/2012)-and God's a good cook :D (me). Are we too many cooks in the kitchen, or are we serving our Master Chef?

Lack of Cooperation

Does it seem unreasonable that I asked for the first week's assignments because my class's online learning environment has not recognized me as registered yet? I welcome comments on this question/post.

Careful versus Skilled

I just took a test where how careful you are is nearly as important as how much you know or how skilled you are. I guess it's the best evaluation tool they have. I have taken these tests before, but I really haven't learned to "do it their way". I know my way is right and I could conclude at the same result, but I have to perform the steps exactly as their parameters dictate. I passed anyway, and it was a pretest, so I know I can do it on my own.

2012 Pi(e) Run

I had a nice post typed up for this but my AT&T Internet disconnected and Blogger nor I saved before Firefox crashed, so I'll just say I ran this race, here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pie-Run-Bloomington/354270384606274, and there is a picture of my finish on this SmugMug on page 19: http://trevorhpittman.smugmug.com/Sports/Pi-Run-2012 thanks to Trevor Pittman. Maybe I'll type it up again later, and hopefully my "finish" will be closer to the beginning next year. ;D The pie was very good, and my lemonade was quite refreshing with the pie pops and chocolate silk.

Cannot Register Online

The links for Campus Connect are still broken, though they said they'd be back after the 12th, so it's off to campus I go. There are some reasons outside the student that Distance Education is more difficult than it should be.

And, There Again...

If you get that far behind, might as well just go on.

Yesterday, Jonah said I could have the car and he'd take me to South Pacific. It's about time to move on. Good thing I have something to do it in.

I started on classes last night, too. The curriculum has us studying an early version of Office 2010, so I'm going to have to get the book today and pay the extra amount.

Day before, Sunday, watched Eustis Family Bible series. It seems like everything is ending, but some things have to begin and go on in their place. I can only trust God and ask Him to take me where He wants me. I had a nice time with Brian, watching The Artist, which was great, and eating at Golden Corral.

Saturday, I continued organizing, which seems to be the bulk of what I do these days. In light of yesterday's conversation, that's probably a good thing. At least I'll get a more subdued, adult lifestyle out of my old relationship. I guess I'll be able to find everything I need in hiding my heart, functionality the trade.

And Sometimes, You Just Have to Let It Go

Thursday, drove up to Indy with Brian to pick up his taxes. Friday, had a really good voice lesson with K and Andy. Checked into my classes. Today, had a good yoga class and getting ready to go to photography ACR class.
