Update on my Life

Wow it has been a long long time. I have been trying to come back to this lovely blog and write again, but every time I did come to the foot of that mountain I turned back, wishing it was not such a large climb. I just thought I would put a tiny tidbit in on my life in here. ALthough of the 3 people that read this they will already know so this will just be a review for them. The big picture looks like this. I am taking 20 credit hours at CMU this semester and I am working on the weekends. Does not sound to rough right? Lets dissect this a little more. On Mondays I have class at 12, but I usually have to print things off and I have to park at least a quarter of a mile away from campus because I am too cheap to buy a parking pass. So I will usually leave at 1030 for my lovely one hour drive. I then have class from 12 to 9 oclock straight. The only break comes for a half an hour at 3. I then will not get home till about 1030 or so. Luckily I have a class at 8am the next day so I get a full 6 hours or so of sleep. Wake up at 6 take a shower and leave by 630. Then it is a day starting at 8am and ending at 930pm at night. Lcukily I do get one 3 hour break from 3 to 6 where I usually do homework the whole time. After my lovely 13 hour day it is another hour drive back to the casa and home by 11. Tuesday night is lovely because I will get 9 hours of sleep or so. Asleep at midnight and up at 9. I then will do hw for an hour or so shower and leave for my 12 oclock class. Wednesdays I start at noon and end at 10, but I have a 4 hour break from 3-7. Usually 90% of this is dedicated to hw (mostly physics). After my incredibly long, boring, breakless 3 hour night class I usually go to an old friends house to crash on their couch becauseI don't really want to get home at 1130-midnight just to come back up for an 8am class. So I crash there. Wake up at 630 the next morning after sleeping in the clothes I came in and go to our Student Activity center to shower. Then it is an 8 Am class followed by a 4 hour break till my 2 oclock physics class and then FINALLY my classes are done and I go home. The weekends consist of three things. Work, homework, and maybe spending time with my wife. Unfortunately the last one (and my favorite thing) is the thing I get to do least. Worst comes to worst I fail don't graduate on time and my tuition increases 25% for my last semester. But that is the absolute worst it could get.

No wonder the Lord has me praying for you!! So very thankful your trust is in Him and not... anything else! Hang in there, big guy, the night doesn't last forever and joy comes in the morning (or when you graduate and get a job!)

Wow...do you realize how cool it is to be kind of homeless one day a week! PLUS you'll be able to brag about all this to your kids one day. Sure you never get to see your wife, but that's a small price to pay...plus at least you HAVE a wife you don't get to see.
