On your mark, get set, panic!

Or not...I just have a test tomorrow that I haven't studied much for and then Wednesday morning I do my physical fitness screener for summer cruise (if you happen to be up at 0600 feel free to send up a prayer :-P). Oh, and I'm still in the recovery phases of being sick last week. It's fun. So once I make it to about 0800 on Wednesday morning I am home free for the week in a sense.

So here's something weird. I have not been one to just go on trips with friends during college, being not the road trip sort of guy. However, when I have learned of trips to go do relief work in New Orleans/Mississippi sponsored by CCF or Campus Crusade I have jumped all over them from the moment I first hear about them. So when I found out that Crusade was still doing spring break relief trips to NO but GT's group was going to Miami I was kind of put off and wrote off the trip. However, a couple weeks ago an email was sent out with a list of events/activities for the trip and strangely enough I felt like I was supposed to go. So I signed up and will be going to Miami for spring break.

On the other hand, CCF is planning another Geaux to the Gulf type event for Easter weekend this spring and while the idea excites me, something brings me to pause and I don't know why. I have not signed up and I'm not sure that I will. It's weird and I really can't explain it...

Running sub-100%

I don't know if trying to run the PFT in the rain and getting completely soaked had anything to do with this, but I have not felt that great since about yesterday afternoon. This is really not good since I have to inspect a bunch of high school kids on Saturday morning and also study for a test next week in a class that I haven't learned much in. Oh and let's not forget the physical fitness screener that I have to run next Wednesday that helps determine what I do for summer cruise. This is really not a good time for this...

In other news, the silence is doggone deafening, but at the same time I find that I still have music of various sorts running through my head (mostly of the P&W variety). No facebook = no big deal. Been having trouble having quiet times though due to all the stupid crap that has suddenly piled up this week. But the week is all downhill from here, so I will not panic. It is all good :-).

Lent

So while I am a Southern Baptist I have decided to observe Lent in a way since the principle behind it is not that bad (sacrifice something for 40 days as a reminder of Jesus' sacrifice and to allow that time for seeking after God). I came to decide that I would give up two things: facebook, which is probably not a bad thing to give up anyway since it is way too easy to waste time on that, and listening to music when I am by myself, which I have noticed has become more like noise than anything else and is probably part of why I have such a hard time getting myself to "be still." It will be interesting.
