Have you ever had one of those weeks were everything seems to be going faster then you. I have been having one of those weeks. Last week ended way to soon and I had to make the long journey back to Chicago, IL for school. I made this week very hard on myself, waiting until the night before to finish papers that should have taken me more then one night. But, today with one done, I still have one to do, but I will finish that one later tonight hopefully after work. I think that I have been very stressed lately and haven't realized it, because I have like some crazy headaches this week. Which is really strange because I never really get headaches, it's just this week that I have been getting them. I took a couple cuts in my morning classes this week because of them so I could get some extra sleep. This sure did help, but I was so sleep deprived over break and I really didn't have an opportunity to catch up on it yet. Hopefully this weekend fixes that. I have been in the mists of a kinda, I'm not sure how to explain it, I guess a trial for the last couple weeks. I am not really sure how to coupe with it because I have been hearing many different opinions from what seems to be to be bias sources. This really means nothing to you, I'm sure, because I'm speaking very generally. I have been so frustrated jumping from one side of the argument to the other trying to decide what I believe, but really getting no where. I have really just wanted to scream the whole time the subject comes up. I finally got a little releaf today from James, It said consider it a blessing when trials come your way. The whole idea is that when trails come and test your faith and you remaind steadfast in the Word you grow in Christ. That, to me, was reasurring and encouraging to keep working through the situation to make sure I do the right thing in Christ and not just becaue it is what others have told me. I will reach a conclusion someday, hopefuly that day is soon.

I have started many things in my life, only finishing a couple of them. I don't know why this always seems to happen, but it always does. I hope that writing, which has always been an enjoyment but on and off over the years, will stick this time. I don't like to write boring papers at school, I haven't since Jr. high (who does?) But I do like writing about my life, and about random things. I may very well write about a great many things on this blog.... or of course it could fall between the cracks as many things have done before. My hope to write about memories and thoughts may possibly be due to the overly ambitious mood I am currently in, but I will hopefully write here daily or weekly... This may last or it may not. But one thing is certain, this is most definitely a start to something.
