nighttime amalgamation of thoughts

1. I feel extra lazy this quarter. 3 classes that are project based, and I'm lost in all 3. The last class, so far, has been no work at all. Everyone else seems to get data structures, so easily...am I just dumb, or is everyone else just actually keeping up with the reading, better yet, just really good at Googling for answers?

2. Friends. Is it better to know a bunch of people well or a few people really well? I define well as in, you don't see each other that often, but when you do, you can have a good conversation. I define really well as being able to just sit around, do nothing and no awkwardness exists. These are the people that you call when you're bored and want to do something. I think the professional world calls for more of the former people, shall we call it Type A, because they're able to interact with many people, well. Not to say that Type B is bad, but in my Type B, I'd imagine Type B is usually more restricted to interactions within that group.

There's probably much more "Types" than Type A and Type B....I just think these are the two Type's I've experienced.

3. Girls. Who needs them? Just kidding. Asian formal is coming up? I would like to bring a date, have fun, but nothing more. Is that unreasonable to ask? Maybe it is. Maybe having a good time at a dance and then cutting it off right there is leading someone on.

4. Worship team. I want to end strong. We're too comfortable. It's important for a team to gel together, but a team also needs to push each other. Which leads to my next point...

5. I don't know how to communicate my faith. I genuinely believed a part of my changed over Passion Week/Easter. But I didn't know how to communicate it to people. When I did, I just sounded like I was repeating old words. Maybe that is the point. The gospel never changes, just we finally open our hearts to it. How do I communicate my faith though?

6. Men's Den. I really hope this works. I really do. I want a 2014 family.

7. Back to #2. One of the reasons why I like Type B is because it's so much easier to keep in contact with those few people. I find myself losing contact with people (not even people back home. people here!) so quickly...

8. Outreach? What happened to that? I guess this related to #7, and failing at keeping in touch with people.

9. I completely missed church today. I don't even remember turning off my alarm, I just woke up to Jean's call at 9:40. I don't even blame myself...I didn't even sleep that late. I should probably blame myself though.

10. Week 4. Exactly two months until my booked airplane ticket to go back home. Make it count, Rich. Make every damn second count.

Make every damn second count.
