.raw nonsense.
today's blog is raw nonsense. this is what happens when i encroach on finals week (MY LAST FINALS WEEK EVER IN MY LIFE, btw). i go nuts. i see very few people - in fact today, i did not see another human being until i got to class at 6:30pm. and i'm seeing people only to absorb more information - are you kidding?!?!?!?!
anyhow, here is my raw nonsense that needs to go somewhere because even my mom would feel like it's a waste of time to hear this mess...
- i waste, i mean drink entirely too many water bottles and it made me sad today.
- i have self-diagnosed A.D.D., inflicted by Fuller Seminary, of course.
- sometimes i genuinely think i'd be happy with one day a week just reading and writing - and then i remember that's crazy talk.
- jacuzzis and wine are from Jesus, that's how i cope with finals.
- i'm realizing this week what it means to wait on the Lord, because He is more capable than i.
- my almost 4-year-old niece jumped off the diving board today for the first time and i. am. proud.
- i have this overwhelming to desire to get my tattoo the day i turn in my last assignment, which would be june 9th. hit me up.
- i need a job, but i really don't seem to be super stressed about it, don't judge me, i have other things to stress about.
- i am not trusting God like i should be. not even a little bit. i'll get right on that.
- i really am not caring about what i'm learning in school - if you're in seminary, is that a sin?
that's all for today. i may blog raw nonsense one more time before i get my Masters in 2 weeks, prepare yourself.

.blame it on grad school.
it's been almost a week since i finished my grad school assignments for this quarter. how i did in the classes is irrelevant at this moment, what matters is that i finished. there were a few things to thank for getting me through the hardest quarter i've had yet. the first is "the office" for providing much needed comic relief on thursday nights, the second is my dear sweet friends who know me well and convinced me that because of my distaste for school, getting my Ph.D. is out of the question and i needed to focus on passing this quarter. the third may be my dearest friend of the semester - starbucks skinny cinnamon dulce lattes.
now, i must confess something. i asked for starbucks cards for my birthday in late october so that i could "survive" the quarter from hell without having to go uncaffeinated because i'm unemployed. i'm ridiculously grateful to my parents, grandparents and others who provided accordingly. the only problem is... i fear i am officially an addict.
how did i realize this, you might ask? well, i got done with school 6 days ago and realized today that of those 6 days, i haven't missed a starbucks run. i used to blame my latte cravings on grad school. i have 4 weeks off - what do i blame it on now? addiction? entirely possible. i'm grateful for my friend who pointed out that there are much worse things i could be dependent on to get me through school - alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, you name it. his vice is slurpees, mine is lattes. neither is all that destructive of a choice. thanks, john, for the confidence boost and the validation. what am i doing tomorrow morning at 10? meeting a college friend at starbucks . what will i order? a skinny cinnamon dulce latte, please. and without asking, they will know my name is bree... because i'm an addict. :)
