Chazography

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted. Trust me when I profess that it hasn’t even been the result of apathy or laziness. I’ve been entwined in an fiery battle with exams over the past week, and most all my time was monopolized by studying or worrying about lucubration. Hence, a little over a week has elapsed since my last post, and finally, I find myself with enough time to begin my onslaught of brilliant posts again! Everyone may now breathe a sigh of relief and let out a magnanimous, “Woohoo!”

This should prove to be a busy, fruitful break. Since arriving home, it seems like everyone has something they want me to do. My dad wants me to do work for him at the church. My brother has tasks he’d like for me to tackle at the house, and supposedly my services are requested by other staff members at the church. On top of that, my inquisitive, insatiable appetite for knowledge has its very own agenda for my time. So it should be interesting seeing how I balance everyone else’s wishes with my own. In the end, I truly hope there might still be some time for me to catch up on some rest.

If all that weren’t enough to keep me busy, this New Year’s Eve is going to be a little bit different than in past years. My cousin (on my dad’s side) is getting married, and she’s chosen New Year’s Eve as the wedding date. So after all our Christmas festivities we’ll find ourselves driving up to Westpoint, GA where my father will be performing the wedding ceremonies. Thus it seems, if I don’t manage to catch up on some sleep before that time, I can kiss the grand notion of getting any sleep goodbye. Oh well, it’s the first family member (around my age) who is getting married and that should prove exciting. Personally, marriage is beyond my comprehension right now, and it’s certainly nowhere on my todo list. It’s one of those things that will “happen when it happens”, but I don’t foresee that as anytime soon. It seems to be on other people’s minds, however. My cousin is just the first family member that I know of to get married but certainly not the only person I’m cognizant of. I guess I’m finally at the age where marriages by friends and family will become a common occurrence for me.

It’s good to be home, and you no longer have to sit on pins and needles waiting for my next post. With the free time that I should hopefully have, you should be greeted with an incessant barrage of posts so strong they could kill a small herd of elephants. To anyone who is particularly fond of elephants (I like Dumbo), I’m deeply sorry about the last comment. To PETA, well… I don’t like you anyways. In any case, it’s time for me to go running as I enjoy being freed from the shackles of school work!
