You guys may have noticed, or not, that I have been incognito as of late. So much has happened. It would be an exhausting task attempting to try, but here it is in brief. Lent is finally over. I will get back to training as soon as I get through exams and one last paper I have to write. I am going to NJ for the summer for a job. I don't know ( Read more... )

I have 5 papers (4 Philosophy and 1 German) coming up none of which I have started, that should be stress test my multitasking/procrastinating powers significantly. This preceeding week I am really trying to 'know myself' coming into Easter. A friend of mine (who is fluent in polish) was tentatively picked to possibly translate some early works ( Read more... )

He is known for getting things done and taking care of business for temporal affairs and ANY type of thing needed. He sure kicks a lot of booty! I asked him on his feast day for a bunch of stuff and EVERYTHING got taken care of within a few days. I got my fafsa filled out (which I was having a ton of problems processing).

The weather has much to do with that. Ohio has been unusually warm and sunny for January, but when it reverts back to normal weather my brain and my interior go AHHHHH stop ( Read more... )

So this past year was insane. Lots of ups and downs. Everything that I started with last year I no longer have which is something that just occurred to me. Ironically and so befitting of God, is that it all has been replaced by something fuller more vibrant and quintessentially me. My car got wrecked, I got another one with more toys. I traded ( Read more... )

Holidays have always been a sort of anxious time of the year with lots of misplaced energy. We go in search of the perfect holiday, the perfect gifts, the perfect scene, the perfect time all in a vain attempt to qualify our holiday as something accomplished. The irony of this is self-evident - the holiday season is already perfect despite all the ( Read more... )
