excitement

so in a whirlwind of excitement about the new series i am conducting with my youth (to save a life...it's going to be pretty epic)

i have fallen behind in my studies



sadly this does not upset me nearly as much as it frustrates me.
i came back exhausted from intensive retreat no.2 in brentwood, to present youth sunday then to write a paper (cough just completed a day late cough) and to have discussion group and to figure out if i'm going to buy a car for adam and i or just adam.

captain z told us that 1. we are not cymj(obs) nor are we to be negative to bring eachother down...
however...not that i feed off the negativity, but it is encouraging when others are not succeeding on an equal level of my lack of success. not that i am seeking validation for my laziness or frustration with the materials BUT....
it aids me in knowing i am not so far on the totem pole.

basically i don't look at our whining and complaining about the stuff we do for class or lack of stuff we do as negative but as a way we can compare ourselves to one another....in a way we are helping one another (no not helping one another slack off) but to feel confidant that they too are normal that yes this is a lot of material and yes it is hard.
no you are not a dum-dum.

:-D

I saw the paper in my e-mail. I'm guess that you'll want me to look at it soon if it's a day late. I'll see what I can do.
