The Pelican and the Seal

I saw a pelican and a seal kissing
in the blue, blue sea.
I felt the glory of the Father
growing inside me.
If God can give a child
such a beautiful mind,
What gifts from Him inside my head
will I live to find?

Slap in the face

“You know, I could never marry you,” he said.
“Why not?” she asked.
“Because… it’d be like marrying myself, and where’s the fun in that?  We’re too much alike,” he told her.
“But I thought that’s what you wanted, someone who can catch your drift,” she said sadly.

“No, no… it isn’t that.  You just aren’t very noticeable, I’m afraid.  You’re just not that pretty.”
“Oh… okay..”

Here’s to all you underappreciated people like me who care for friends that have no idea how amazing you really are.  The world may say you aren’t good enough for it, but the truth is that the world isn’t good enough for you. 

A textbook Monday

My dad has been absolute crap.  I woke up fifteen minutes AFTER my first class started, but that’s not even the bad part.  I HAD A TEST IN THERE TODAY.  Yeah, I know!  So I throw some jeans on, I don’t brush my hair, and I don’t brush my teeth (Yeah, gross, I know!).  I do 80 mph all the way there and turn a 30 minute drive into a 10 minute one.  Luckily, my music theory professor was kind enough to let me take the test as if I hadn’t frantically run into the room in tears.  :)  Nice lady, that one is.  lol  So I take the test, even though I had previously fallen asleep during my study period the night before.  (I’m hoping for at least a B on this one! *crosses fingers*)  After that was over, I drove back home to brush my teeth and hair, and to get into some better clothes.  Then it was off to campus again for my CFS test.  I think I fairly well on it, so I’m not worrying too much about it.  Then, I raced off to work.  Work was HELL!  It was literally nonstop till closing.  I also kept having problems with insurance claims and customers, so it was busy AND frustrating.  *sigh*  I really think I need a bubble bath…

Infancy and 7th chords

I guess I need to make it appear as though I have things to blog about on here, so here goes nothing.  I went to New York for four days, and it was awesome.  If I’m on your Facebook friends list, go look at my pictures from the trip - if not, suffice it to say I had a wonderful time, and I’d like to go back sometime.  But at the same time, I’m really glad to be home for various reasons.  I missed people - some more than others (vague, I know).  And I just really love living in the South too.  The mountains, the warm beaches, the courteous people… I love it all so much.  I could never live in a big city like New York.  But I digress.

My summer classes are definitely kicking my butt.  I never thought a straight-up lecture course like Child and Family Studies: Human Development could be so so overwhelming.  We cover 2-3 chapters a day, and it just blows my mind sometimes.  The same thing goes for the music theory class I’m taking, but that stuff is actually part of a skill I need to be really good at the rest of my life, so I am doubly worried about that class.  :(  *sigh*  I don’t want to make C’s in these classes…

What’s going on

My parents are getting a divorce.  So that would be the thing I mentioned in the previous blog about what’s worrying me..lol  So, now you know..hehe.
