"chRistie has gone away to do homework. Don't try to come after her. It's like Frodo in the Lord of things... except don't be Sam. And don't try to carry me. This is not the end... there is another path we all must take... to a secret location of homework completion. Peace. ♥ C"
 

The quotation above is quoted directly from a message that I wrote on my whiteboard before I left to do homework at Starbucks this evening. One, it is now 1:09 am. Two, I did not realize until after I returned at approximately 11:30 pm that what I wrote did not make much sense at all. At this point in the semester, I have a very large number of assignments left to complete. I have five assignments that I must have completed by tomorrow, plus a very stressful paper draft to write by Wednesday afternoon.

I am a very, very happy person; however, I am (underneath the surface?) very, very stressed. Nevertheless, and most importantly, God is sustaining me. That is the only reason I am still breathing right now, and am not curled up in a ball on the floor weeping. Now I must return to reality and the writing of yet another paper. Wahoo!

Love, chRistie
