15/100 days of productivity

This past week was sorta stressful, my earphones broke and I quit my internship (in-person! ah!). But I finally organized my life a bit this weekend by creating a study schedule in preparation for midterms, which are going to obliterate me, honestly lol. And I got lunch with a bud; we’re going to try and get tickets to a Higher Brothers concert in May, so that’s something to look forward to! Also just finished my 3D modeling homework and it’s definitely Not Good, but it’s Good Enough, ya feel.

I managed to snag one of the library study rooms this morning! I’m going to be revising papers for a while, and then hopefully I’ll be able to talk to my sociology professor during office hours. A productive day.

9.28.2018 | Wow guys. Well, it’s four weeks into my first semester of seminary and I am pretty much just swamped so I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything about what I’ve been up to in quite some time! This is a little glimpse into what my intro Koine Greek revision actually looks like. I do a lot of work late at night (so with horrid lighting) and I feel frantic and overwhelmed often, BUT I feel so overjoyed to be where I am. 

The Lord has been showing me so much of His goodness and provision, and though I said I feel “frantic” and “overwhelmed” it’s nothing like in undergrad. I’m learning that the push to meet a deadline, the healthy urgency of accomplishing the work set before you, and knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that you CANNOT do it on your own strength is a remarkably refreshing and humbling place to be. My plate is full, but I know the God putting all the food on the table, and I am trusting Him to help me clear my plate.
