About Jen

Jen isn't quite sure when she lost her mind, but it is probably documented here on Meditatio. She blogs because the world needs her snark at all hours of the night... and she probably can't sleep anyway.

Paper Progress (II)

i listened to laurie’s real audio entries while re-writing my anthro paper. she’s doing better than she was (as near as i can tell from her journal entries). kristal is (hopefully) getting help… her last entry depressed me and i wish i knew what to tell her. it seems like everyone around me is dealing with depression and i’m the only one who isn’t. granted, i have chemical depression and ptsd but those are pretty much controlled… i’m having a shadow day and all i can do is just pray and hang on. this will pass… these things always do.

i have some stuff to edit on my anthro paper. i have it pretty much done but i have to change some details to reflect the events of this last week. i’ll also probably re-read parts of the soul of celtic spirituality as i need a spiritual pick me up right now.

Paper Progress (I)

book recommendation: the soul of celtic spirituality by michael mitton. he is an anglican priest and celtic christian scholar. it isn’t very often that one finds a scholarly text that is actually a devotional book. 🙂

mme paper is done and in and i have a deadline for proofreading. (thank heavens for class accountability groups!!!) i need to proofread my anthro final but that won’t be bad.

Progress

my fox is back online. wooohoooo!!!! ok… getting my mme paper done tonight and then working on the redesign of this. yes… i know i still have my senior sem paper but i’ll lose my mind if i don’t do other things.

Finals are approaching!

i’m praying that the cd gets to jon tomorrow. i miss having my fox online.

ok… it’s major crunch week so i may not be putting too many entries up (or at least really detailed ones) until the 19th. i have my anthro final done and i’m attempting to get a few pages of my mme paper done tonight. after that, it’s all about my senior seminar paper. pray for me since i’m at the point of losing my mind. oh yes… this is what i learned from the children’s sermon at messiah today: safeway-brand tuxedos have more filling than oreos do.

Weekend Paper Plans

ok… hoping to get my anthro paper and my mme paper done this weekend. i think i will have to shrink the font on the anthro paper because it needs to be under 12 pages and i’m at 10 right now without discussing the eucharist.

Violence

can anyone tell me why we’ve had the following things happen in the last three days: -the shooting spree at santana high school -the shooting at a pennsylvania school this morning -the arrest of a student in washington for bringing a gun to school -the arrest of two teenagers in california for having a hit list and a rifle i just wish that my generation would abandon the violent trash that is the media and pop music industry and start working to make things better. sorry… blowing someone’s head off with a gun does not solve anything.

Stupid Cats

there was a cool storm this weekend. my mom’s cat decided to go outside… then come in… and then go outside about five times before she realized that she would get wet. bessie isn’t that bright occasionally. another storm is coming in. i love this kind of weather and am hoping that we get some *good* thunder and lightning.
