I am starting to apply for Human Resource positions. I filled out two applications online this morning. They were both government positions both holding the title of Human Resource Assistant. I doubt I will hear from either one of them. It is a start anyhow.

There have been problems raised by my work that I never expected. There are some situations that no amount of education can prepare you for. How do you represent Christ to people who are sick of Christianity due to Christian hypocracy? How do you act around co-workers who are gay?

I changed my graduation date from may to December. That made things a little crazy. Now I am getting ready to take the PHR exam and searching for a job.

I've finally decided I'm going to shoot for graduate school. I don't know if I will actually go to graduate school or not but at this point I'm going to move towards that.

I am having a week like that. Although I know it is not true it feels like it has been weeks since anything has gone right. The reality is that I have a good job, a nice apartment and supportive friends. What it feels like is anything but that. I just want to be normal, whatever that is.

I can't get away with anything. I'm not sure why. I can't get away with not sleeping normal hours. I can't get away with not eating well (as in three meals a day with fruits and veggies, bah). I can't get away with working more than forty hours a week.

My schedule seems to be exactly opposit everyone elses so I do not see anyone. Outlook for next few years seems rather depressing really. Work hard this year, finish school.

Not sure where to start. Job is going moderately well. Had a great time in Washington with my family. Saw the beach and many other fun things as well. Been sick the last few days.

I generally like my job. People are usually nice to me but everyone seems so stressed out around there. Understaffing seems to be a problem around there. Overall I would say its not too bad.

I will now be working for Home Depot part time. It will probably be where I work during the school year as well. I will be living with Heather Redmon and Jenny next semester in Regency Park.

We will not see her again for another three years. I cannot even imagine that amount of time at this point. She will be sorely missed to put it mildly. My life is mainly trying to tie up loose ends right now. I have to get everything moved out of the house and finally be done with that place. I need to find a place for Kronk, our dog.

Its really strange. Almost feels like last year did not happen at all. Now that I am not getting married I have about one option; work like crazy. I picked a degree I thought I would enjoy; management. I did not think about the fact that most managers work long hours and do not have much time off.

That is a good start. I guess I will have to wait and see if I passed anything else. At this rate I might even graduate next year, wouldn't that be amazing.

It is not even that they are that difficult really, its just that, I don't know.... school in general just seems impossible right now. I can't seem to make myself study, I can't focus in class.

That time of year when people sit around and get plastered and eat fattening foods and talk about resolving to drink less and loose wieght. I've never really been one for New Years resolutions.

I still feel stupid, as a matter of fact I feel considerably more stupid now than when I began here. Sometime back in my freshman year I believed I was capable of writing papers, I thought I was good at science and I thought business was an easy degree.

I am so frusterated and behind it is not even funny. I am ready to just go crazy. Everywhere I look in my room there are piles of things I should have done weeks ago. I just can't seem to keep up.

Not good. Agh, If I can make it through these few weeks the rest of the semester should be okay. This is my two hardest weeks. And of these weeks, this weekend will probably be the worst. Prayer would be appreciated. The bright side is once this is over, then I will know the worst part is behind me.

Chris and I are enjoying each other more than I think we ever have. Its the way things were when we first got together, that same feeling. I would expect there to be a lot of uncertainty and confusion around this time but there really isn't. It is the kind of feeling I had when Chris and I first talked about getting married.

Tuesday night I postponed the wedding basically because of stress. Ever since Chris and I got engaged it was difficult. We were trying so hard to get things done in a small amount of time. He was having a hard time keeping up and had very little energy. I have had health problems that required time to take care of.

Dr. Feezell is my Production Ops management teacher. That is currently my favorite class. It is big picture stuff. I like big picture stuff I can handle that. I asked him the question of what makes countries profitable and we came up with a list of things.

It is another crazy morning. Way too much to do, way to little time. Such is life. Test tomorrow in Poetical books and I have ten journals to do. Its been a good day so far. Intersting morning. Neither Jenny or Ananda had class this morning so it was a little difficult to drag myself out of bed. Just before I ran out the door I managed to step on a rusty curtain rod and hurt my foot.

What makes a country sucessful from a business standpoint? The obvious answer is "money" but what is money. Money is simply a contract, it is based on trust in that money's value. If the inflation rate were to skyrocket then money would be worth nothing. So then the next answer is resources.

I can not focus for the life of me, which is not good at all. I have a lot of reading to catch up on. My mind keeps shifting to various places where the things I am learning could be applied. That isn't necessarily a bad thing but it gets to be a pain when I realize I've read an entire chapter and comprehended none of it because my Garnetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10018532640029339869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146550.post-1094257485518541292004-09-03T19:21:00.000-05:002004-09-03T19:24:45.516-05:00It has been a very sad day today for a number of reasons. Its been a hard week for that matter. Today we learned that a friend, Jason Marshall, lost his mother recently. That was hard to hear. Jenny cried through chapel. Jason, if you are reading this, there is a group down here that cares for you very much and is praying for you.

I don't have time really to enjoy the feeling of being done. Trying to decide if I should go work out tonight or stay to work on the house. Either place I go I know I'll feel guilty for not being at the other place. There just aren't enough hours in the day. My list of things to be done is just getting longer and longer.

So this is going to be an over emotional goodbye post to LFGH. I'm allowed to be emotional about this, I've been leading it for two years. It gets to you after a while.
First I'd like to apoligize to all those who have been in LFGH, for the leader that I haven't been over the last few years.

I've started quite a bit of it but I haven't finished any of it. Andy and Ryan were gracious enough yesterday to come over to the house with me and work on it. They were there all day as far as I know. They did the carpets and primered the walls.

I've managed to get an infection and an upset stomache at the same time. Which is not so good, because I had a rather hard time keeping antibiotic down. I'm not entirely sure if the upset stomach was due to nerves or an actual flu. It was quite an annoyance. I also managed to have a bout of insomnia.

I don't know how I manage to do this, I always think I'm going to have all this spare time and then all of a sudden I'm covered in a pile of unfinished to do list and haven't slept or eaten decent for the last week. There are so many things I need to do I can't even see straight. I'm getting more and more forgetful. I think my brian is just getting tired of details.

I'm taking this morning off work to try desparately to get ahold of my friend Caleb or Gerry. Caleb is currently down in Honduras and things aren't exactly going as planned. Much prayer is needed.

I'm flying back to Texas on friday. Which I think will work out the best. Then I can stop stressing out over my to-do list. Goldendale is always a hard place to be. I am glad I came back to see people. I have enjoyed my time with my family, but I need to get back.

Sarah is off to school and everyone else is left. There really isn't much to do here. THe bad news is that I can't work at the hospital.

One minute I'm so worried about the color of fabric for the tableclothes at my reception and the next it all seems so empty and pointless as I watch Jenny.

Jenny could still use prayer on the recovery. That woman is crazy, she is in class today. She is still on the medication. I can't fuction on that stuff I dont know how she is. I have now decided that getting up at four in the morning should be against some kind of law. Things just get plain strange when Jenny and I get up early.

I expected to have many great theological realizations. There was only one thing that really really struck me from it. As I watched the part where Christ is actually nailed to the cross I kept thinking, may God forgive us for what we've done to His gospel. The rest of the night thats all I could think about. Thats really all I can say about the movie.

Spent this morning at a family enrichment seminar...... for two chapel credits :) Then the speakers took us out to eat. It was fun.

This time it was because I couldn't chew on one side of my mouth. I have officially decided the dental surgeon is nuts. He had this little piece of cloth with medicine on it that he was going to stick in my mouth. He was sitting there moving it up and down so it looked alive and going "down boy, good boy".
