Points to Ponder

I'm an engine driver -- The Engine Driver, Decemberists

Today was all but hectic, and is just now coming to a close. Aside from realizing that I had not gotten around to actually doing several things (as previously mentioned; read below), I spent from around 0800 to 0020 being out and around town. I've not enough time to do the things I need to...

Cade is home from across the Sea, and boy am I glad. He is an amazing guy, and I love him for that, but at the moment, he's got a lot to say. Understandable. I've not seen him in four months or so, and it is a good lesson to anyone to have to sit and listen to another person speak at any time for any reason, unless it is idle banter. One thing that did come up, though, was the fact that I wish I were a Student in career alone right now, and not trying to work at the same time. That working stuff just drives me a up a tree, and I don't have time to do my homework like I should (spread out and such). Aside from lack of time, there is the fact that whenever I come home, no matter how good the day went at work, I am not the same person I used to be. Sometimes this means I feel horrible; sometimes this just means I'm less whole than before -- and in more than one way. I've been toying with the idea of quiting for more than a month now, but I've not yet found the right place to go and work instead. I'm quite burned-out on serving people in a restuarant. I love to do it, but there's just something about it here that makes my skin crawl. The idea arose that I should just take a small break from working... a hiatus. Maybe it will give me time to think and to catch up in school and to strengthen my relationship with God.

It's just a thought. I've got too much to do tomorrow, so I'm off to bed.
