Lazy Days

Over the past few days, I intended to finish my church's newspaper that I run. Unfortunately, due to another member of the church who I depended on for transportation and his key, I was unable to get these things done. He was been sick and therefore this retards any hope of progress. In turn, my last few days have been 'lazy days'. This means I don't get dressed and just vegetate in bed or on the couch. Now for me, this is fine for a day, but not three…

Last night I had a very nice time visiting with my other family and we had people over. We ordered a big ol' pizza from Pizza King and drank some very nice Sawmill Creek red wine from The Wine Rack. I had a chance to play a very awesome game: Rock Band World Tour. I had never played this before but I sell it on a regular basis at work. This was a ton of fun. I was able to try my hand first, naturally at vocals, than at drums and finally at guitar.

Oddly, throughout the night, our power phased in and out. I woke up at what may have been 5am and discovered this. Maybe a half hour later, the power returned and I reset my alarm clock to wake me at 8am for church. To my dismay, I woke to my mother alerting me that it was 10am and my alarm clock was once again dead. After removing myself from a torrent of obscenities, I got myself out of bed and continued on with my day, which was now totally thrown off. After my morning tea, we left to head to Winners where I returned some black cords and got some black Pumas instead. We went to Zehers to grab some food for my social function tomorrow evening, grabbed some lunch and came home. This evening I'll relax and do some tiding for tomorrow.

Pot of Gold

Amazingly enough, the original title for this blog entry was "Once Again" – nodding my reentry to the blogging world. It started with my move a few evenings ago to return to by blog and change some elements including my profile picture and make some edits to past blogs. So, as promised, this is my latest as of now.

My life lately has been pretty hectic. I have so many things to do and my only options are to schedule them all out. This may seem like a sensible course of action (which it generally is) yet it doesn't change the fact that I have little to no time to do things I really want to do that's outside of my routine. I've been blessed enough to work during times when I normally would have been doing nothing at all (usually sleeping). To maintain my education, church functions, employment and social life all while steaming towards the Christmas season, is my no means an easy thing to do. I have expectations placed on me which are not easy to fulfill. I have schedules for church duties and functions and classes. Making them all coordinate is like forging a land agreement between Israelis and Palestinians. Not easy. Possible, but not easy.

My future, as of now, seems more and more uncertain. Sometimes I think, "Is university really right for me?" I know in my heart of hearts that many other university students have similar fleeting thoughts. I know that if I gave up on university, I'd never become a teacher, and my life's purpose would be nullified. I would have failed my first life goal. And with it would collapse my identity as an academically driven young man. My only real resolve is pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. By that I do not mean my salary, but the fruition of my purpose, and the start of the next chapter of my life.
