I'm sitting here at the 24-hour Starbucks in tiger town, a place I've come to know all too well in the many hours I've spent studying here, and I'm feeling very claustrophobic.
I have an exam, a midterm, and a paper due tomorrow.
But I have no motivation whatsoever to work on any of it.
Instead, I just registered for Passion Conference 2010 and I'm SO DANG excited.

It feels like fall in Auburn finally.
I've been wearing jeans and hoodies all week...and there's just nothing better.
Pretty soon the leaves will start changing colors. If you've never been to east Alabama in the fall, you really haven't seen anything.

And all I want to do is sit outside and drink coffee and read a book. Or write one. Or lay in the grass and listen to music. Or go on a walk with a good friend. Or listen to a cute boy play guitar on a blanket on hippie hill.

I have absolutely no desire to study accounting. Or really to do school at all.
Days like today feel too right, too good, too freeing to spend on school work or stupid sorority meetings.
I'm feeling very limited by some of the things in my life.
But I'm living for a limitless God.
And that's just not adding up.

Not today, at least.

Not here at Starbucks, surrounded by over-priced text books filled with limited, temporary, underwhelming information.

I'm restless and bored.

Maybe I should just say screw it and not study.

Or maybe I should think about changing my major.

Or maybe I should suck it up and do my work and remember that I'm called to be a student today.

Damn.

I like this post. I can picture you there. How did it turn out? Did you study or screw it?

It's nearing a month and no new post? That's odd, I don't like it. I enjoy reading your blog and all it's inspiring, thought provoking ideas!

No desire to study accounting? Really? How is that possible?
