It's been nearly a month since my last post?

Time is flying by. Things have been busy, and both work and my weekends have been pretty full. It's felt good to be busy, but in contrast, i've realized that i get really lazy and kinda depressed when life slows down. Unfortunately, that's a major indication that the ups and downs of my circumstances still dominate too much of the way i live. By God's grace i want to be steadfast and content whatever the situation.

So here's something crazy. This past week i received two job offers for full-time positions at two very different places. While i'm not even remotely close to taking either of them, it was a reminder that God can change the course of my life at any point He chooses, regardless of how hard i try to plan things out. Then i felt all old and adult-ish because i realized that a lot of the life choices God presents from here on out are going to be (or at least seem to be) bigger than choosing a class schedule or what to do on the weekend. Weird.

I had a fruit punch Jolly Rancher today, and it tasted exactly like that Hawaiian Punch drink, only in candy form. It was intense. Oh and i am currently obsessed with Death Cab for Cutie's Plans album. It's strange, I bought the album on a whim, and while the music and lyrics are good, neither are anything mind-blowing. It's just one of those solid albums that seeps deeper into you each time you listen to it.

That whole sad thing when you're not busy? I know EXACTLY what you're talking about.

I know, it's weird huh. Like some weekends if i'm not really doing anything, it's nice for a couple of hours but then i get lethargic and mopey. I think people like us just have to find a way to relax and slow down without having life just drop off a cliff during that time.
