making faces and doing homework

Have you ever noticed how many faces you see when you are watching people do their homework? When people write papers noses will scrunch, lips will curl and creases start to form. It doesn't matter whether its 1:00 in the after noon or 4:00 in the morning. The greatest thing I found my self doing is making faces back. They never suspect a thing.

Have you ever smelt rain?

Rain is a curious thing. It comes and goes when it pleases, but yet the Weather man things he's pathetically telepathic and can read the mind of the little droplets falling from the sky. hmmm. Um, How about not.

As it patters my window at one in the morning you start to think absurd circles. for instance I found myself thinking. "raindrops on roses," what a glorious sight that mental picture is. to think about the best rose that smelt like red, and rain drops that didn't really smell but came with the breath of morning. walking out on a foggy morning just kinda makes me miss those days. Its fall and those days have past. there is a long way to go until I can experience something close to that again.

I must walk out my door into the blistering cold rain to my cabin. Those covers on my janky bed will sure feel good after I change out of the sopping clothes I will come in.

too late to even function..

Its raining and I am stuck in the program office at Trout Lake Camps attempting to do my Old Testament exam studying, but we all know how that goes... Facebook anyone? Please, studying these days I am really struggling on that one. I watched a tutorial on Lynda.com about how to manage your life better: interesting things you will find on there. I honestly feel like a new person. I normally don't do anything when I listen to a sermon or a documentary (ex: King Me, the documentary.) but this time I kinda just did it! I cleaned off my desk and started over from scratch. Who knows why I did anything crazy and drastic like that. So now I have a massive blank calender on my dorm room wall that I now fill in when an assignments are due or when I would need to work on things in order to finish them on time or (shockingly) -early. Maybe that is why I drove 4 hours to Trout Lake in Pine River, MN. I knew that even though I have a midterm due on Thursday there is still hope. (and of course the chance to see my brilliant friend Sarah)
