It's been far too long since my last journal entry. And I have no excuse but laziness. But hey, that's what summer's for, right? I had a really great summer. Work ate up most of it. But work was fun, 'cuz I was really part of the team this time. This time, I wasn't given one or two independent projects, then shoved into a closet for 3 months. Instead, I attended and participated in team meetings, helped co-workers out, and did work that everyone else in the group was doing. The ppl in the group were great too. The only drawback... I'm not sure software test work is what I want to be doing. I think I prefer development work. So I guess we'll see how that plays out in my job search this next year.
So... back at school. Here, fun abounds, but only if you don't get buried underneath the workload. And yes, I'm working. Even though school hasn't started yet, I've been constantly occupied by Testimony rehearsals and audition preparations. Hopefully it'll settle down after auditions. Otherwise, I'm not gonna be able to handle 3 classes, TA'ing, Tmony, Wushu, and potentially organ lessons. Yes, organ lessons. I have organ shoes and organ books, but I haven't touched a live organ in over a year now. I'm just itching to get back on an organ, cranking up the volume, and blasting away. =)
How am I? Not sure. Been too busy to think about it. A lot is on my mind these days. I would like to spend more time socializing... meeting new ppl on my floor and hanging out with old friends. But it seems I'm always too busy to chat now. Or, if I'm free, I'm too tired to do anything. So socially... not so good.
Spiritually, I'm doing ok. All this work is gettin' to me, 'cuz I don't have the heart of a servant yet. I'm naturally very self-centered (in my concerns), and being involved in Testimony is changing me right now. So God is working in my heart. Qt's have been few, unfortunately, since time has been tough to come by. I think I may have one now tho.
It's funny. Even tho I interact with ppl all the time now, it seems I'm actually growing distant to everyone. 'Cuz it's all business, I suppose. The love and the fellowship just isn't there right now. Now I know what it is to be lonely, despite being surrounded by ppl... even ppl you love.
Well, I think it's time for a QT. Let's see what my Lord has to say about this.
