• Update on the norm

  I usually do not post about my life. Where I am at, what I am doing, who I am with, how I am feeling. I don’t. While being personal is nice, I’d rather talk about something less about me and more about interesting things. Well, interesting to me at least. So, in a sense it is still personal, but not intimate. Anyway, this all goes to say that I am posting about myself for this Special Edition.

  Over the last few months, I’ve been taking a class in philosophy. It is a senior seminar, where you study in depth on a particular topic of a philosophical nature and write a huge paper about it. Why haven’t I been posting on Xanga much? Well, that’s because I am studying in depth on a particular topic of a philosophical nature and writing a huge paper about it. This is in conflict with how I spend time on Xanga. The entries I have been posting have been more than sit-down-and-submit. Many of them have taken 2-10 sits to write, revise, and then finally post. So, while I usually had more times to sit and longer sits to sit, they’ve been cut back because of devotion to other things.

  I’ve been involved with Cru ~12 hr /wk, work ~42 hr /wk, FBChurch ~4 hr /wk, class ~3hr /wk. That comes to something like ~61hr /wk taken routinely. That leaves how much time to spend on homework, sleep, eating, housekeeping (laundry, organizing, repairing, cooking, washing), girlfriend and other social things? How much less Facebook, Xanga, etc.! … Sigh.

  That said, I will post the second to last entry on Irresistible Grace, and perhaps it will pick up the pace a little bit… since I’ll be on a fresher topic and my commentary will be limited (due to familiarity).
