Phew. Thanks Facebook quiz!
I'm pretty sure I have the lamest Friday nights of anybody I know. They usually consist of uni catch-up because weekends go in a flash. At the moment I'm trying to make a dent in my (late) major English essay on Beloved. That book is disturbing.
So there seems to be a direct correlation between increased uni work and a) a higher frequency of blog posting and b) the discovery of new music to listen to. I blog when I don't want to work anymore, which is ironic considering you'd think I'd want to get away from this stupid laptop, and I listen to music while I research because it's a lot more bearable that way.
Favourite music this week:
- Bon Iver
- Phoenix
- Jose Gonzalez
- Scott Matthews
- Does It Offend You, Yeah?
- Er, Vanessa Hudgens
What? I don't have a complex about only listening to super cool indie.
Coffee and Milo is awesome.
I've just realised how awake I suddenly am. I haven't felt the effects of caffeine so strongly in a while. Another cup! Another cup!
Super excited about EQUIP tomorrow. I've spoken to Isobel about it every Wednesday night for the past couple of months so I'm really looking forward to it. I got a sneak peek of the EQUIP booklet and saw the section about fundraising for India - I'm in the photo of the ashram on Christmas Day! Miss that place like crazy. I'm also keen for the elective on Depression by Claire Smith. I've heard that she's heavy on the theology and that she'll really make her audience work. I've also been thinking a lot more about depression lately, and have been surprised at just how common it is. Also, I've been told that those who go into full-time ministry are quite susceptible to it, so thought it would be good to start learning more.
And of course we'll be going through the book of Esther! I've never studied it before so should be great.
Back to it.
Myspace is my very good friend when the going at uni gets busy. Try researching on 'fleet foxes','Bridezilla', 'arcade fire' and 'Yo La Tengo'...
ReplyDeleteI can see you on the India photo! RIGHHT in the centre! I wanted to circle and label but that's somewhat creepy so I didn't... yet!
Clare Smith's talk was great -I remember when I was feeling quite low God had kindly put Titus 2:11-14 in my memory. Hearing Clare's emphasis that one needs to be reminded of God's love (through God's people and esp. through his word) really struck true. Afterwards I talked to a lady who was well acquainted with depression, and she seemed to think it was still yet 'solution' based than she'd wished. As there are people from all walks of life and exposure to depression, I imagine the messages taken home will vary greatly woman to woman...
