work and play

ok, so i haven't been blogging, but you will have to excuse me because i have graduate school to pay for people and i have been super busy.

one of my jobs stealthily increased my hours and before i knew it, i was working a ridiculous amount each week. This week for example, i am pushing fifty hours. ouch. and they wanted me to take some more! tomorrow will be day nine worked in a row before i finally have a day off and start over again. hopefully i will make it through tomorrow though because i will be working fourteen hours! i have never done that before. yikes.

but thankfully, it has not been all work and no play. i credit the Lord with having the fourth off and i got to spend time with a bunch of my newlywed friends, swimming, eating, and watching half of the fireworks in Atlanta. (literally half because we positioned ourselves right behind a building.)

also, partly for my own sanity and partly as an aid for my spiritual life, i have been drawing and studying Hebrew in my free time. in addition to reading my Calvin and Hobbes and Get Fuzzy comic books.

that is, when i am not napping or going to bed while it is still light outside.

i can only motivate myself with the fact that this is only temporary.

it is only temporary, right?
