Halfway Through the Summer

OK, it's the first week of July, and I realized that I haven't written anything on here since April...so, here goes.

This summer has been crazy, and awesome. I am working as the graphic design intern at Elevation Church, and I am having a great time with that. It has been so much fun to get back into the habit of designing and stretching my creativity every day. I had some trouble in the beginning just since it had been so long, but I feel like my concepts and designs are getting a little better each day, so that's good.

I'm also working at Chick-fil-A - just about every night. This means I've been working 60 to 70 hours a week for the past 5 weeks, with a couple more left to go. Overall though, it hasn't been a bad summer. I miss seeing all my friends and family since I really don't have much time to just hang out or anything, but I think it'll be worth it in the end. I'll have some great experience, plus some money in my account by the time school starts...hopefully!

Oh, and I was spending time with a couple friends on the 4th, and someone showed us some videos on YouTube. Go check out Autotune the News if you get a chance. They're hilarious.

Light at the End of the Tunnel

I'm ready for the semester to end. Right now.

Procratinating yet again...

I have a paper due Monday, and two more due on Tuesday, so you would think I would be a little more motivated to do my work than I currently am. I mean, it is just hanging over my head right now, stressing me out, so why don't I want to do it?

I feel like this a lot in my walk with God. I neglect prayer for a while, or skip my quiet time for a day or two, and things pile up and eventually I can't remember the last time I really spent time digging into my Bible for real spiritual food. This only worsens my downward spiraling relationship with God, which then serves to discourage me from starting back up again. I wait until my confidence in my faith is circling the drain, before I cry out for forgiveness. This definitely seems like a pretty messed up relationship, and one that I would not enjoy this if the roles were reversed.

So, there's a little look into my current thoughts and whatnot. So, does anyone know a cure for procrastination? 'Cause I could certainly use one about now...

So, this past week was not as relaxing as I thought it would be. But I definitely enjoyed being at home. It was a great break from the daily grind of school. I already have spring fever pretty bad, and I don't think it will improve any between now and the end of the semester. We'll see how it goes.

My friend George just showed me an incredible climbing video.



This guy is ridiculous.

Spring Break!

I'm looking forward to a week of no classes.

Hopefully everyone else has as awesome of a week as I'm expecting.

Sweet!

This movie looks incredible!

I am finally pretty much done for this week as far as classes go. I mean, I actually have three tomorrow, but there's nothing due, and looking at the syllabi, it should be an overall easy day. Then BCM, then I'm heading home, for the first time this semester. Last weekend was a rough one with papers and studying for tests earlier this week, so I'm ready to go home and relax.

I also found a great resource for when I'm feeling a little down (this weekend it was from writing so much). Craigslist Rants and Raves. They're incredibly hilarious. And a pretty effective self-confidence boost. A lot of those people can't form complete thoughts, much less clear, understandable sentences. It really makes me feel better about myself, especially since I usually think I'm a bad writer.

And here's just a pretty sweet video I found on YouTube. Check it out and be glad it isn't you.
