Tired of school, mucho.

So the past couple weeks I have been in this rut, where I am ridiculously exhausted from school and want out, pronto. I really only have one demanding class but that class is the most demanding, out of this world course of my life... hands down the worst class I've taken. It's called Plant Physiology, and I don't care who you are or where you go to school, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS...

That being said, it's really a combo of the two - my being tired of school work in general (I do have nearly 17 years of mindless assignments behind me...) and the fact that this is the hardest class I've taken - that is fueling my laziness and distaste towards this home stretch of assignments before the semester ends.  Satan also knows that laziness has been a weakness of mine since the womb, and he really knows how to magnify some inglorious characteristics of mine, always when the timing is worst.  Like when I have a lot on my plate - especially since I became Christian - I tend to get overwhelmed and drift off to la-la land for hours on end, somehow managing to do absolutely nothing productive in a 48- hour time period.  Not that I'm blaming my behavior on Satan, because I do what I do, but his undoubted influence in my life is hard to ignore.  It's hard to turn straight from Satan and run flat out in the other direction.  Maybe I do muster up the courage to do a "talk to the hand - 'cause the face don't wanna listen" number, but the whole turning and running part is painstakingly slow.  What gives?  

I guess it makes sense to be most vulnerable to Satan when you're overwhelmed.  And I definitely am.  Here's some of the things on my plate right now:

- Papers and projects for Plant Phys and Communications

- My final exams for the above classes and Biochemistry and Global Studies

- The roommate situation (though by God's grace it is getting better)

- Feeling unbearably isolated living off campus

- Raising enough money for Encounter '08

- My future, that's an everyday thing... which ministry? Philly or East Asia?

- My growing and failing friendships

- God and my fellowship with Him

- Getting back into the church atmosphere and finding new community

- ALL of my friends are engaged now, or nearly

- Depression (not nearly as bad as it was - praise God)

- Earning money next semester

- My need for a car sometime in the near future

- My lack of attendance at the gym - am I glorifying God in my body?

- Our apartment needs a vaccuum

- Etc.

Phew-ee.  I wouldn't want to be me right about now.

I guess the best thing to do is just to buckle down and do what I need to do despite my severe un-motivation and lack of desire to do anything school related.  I want to glorify God through my studies, you know?
