maybe even one day, a tambourine

"You can't just buy me a guitar every time you screw up, you know?"

"Yeah, I know...

...

...But then, you know, there's always drums, and bass, and maybe even one day a tambourine. "

being told that you are preferred to work with over the smartest person ever is quite a compliment.

"peaches," new heights

You say good morning, and good evening
The day is done, and you've come to find
The words are fleeting, I hear your quiet breathing
Is something wrong?

You come on two knees, with more than two needs
Finding that it's all too easy
To be helped and found
You slept and he said

It is in you, to carry on
It is in you, to lay down fears that hold
It is in you, to find your way home

Daylight's coming, the sun is blazing
New beginnings seep into you
But in the end it's distant shadows
That finally overwhelm your senses
And this time around
Is it love that you crown?
And this time around
You'll be more than who you are

Could you find yourself a way home?

i feel like this can be applied to a lot of various situations i am in.
love, i'm sorry i'm so weird :\

at this point, it's purely damage control

presentation today.
probably the least prepared i've ever been for one. a lot of things have gone wrong, and to be honest, i don't think this was in any way avoidable. so gotta dig deep, get through it, and move on in my life.

gre biology tomorrow. will be end of a really long, hard fought battle.

and the start of everything being out of my control.

hum. that sounds familiar.

let me get through this.

GRE general: done.

all in all, disaster turned into an ok situation?

next week sat: GRE bio. and lots and lots of due dates. prepare for turbulence.

fear for future

i'm currently petrified right now -- between this week and next i have to take my GREs general and subject test in bio. if there was any moment where i've tried my hardest to peer into the future, this would be it. i'm thinking of alternative options, escape plans, but i know that whatever happens will happen.

"we can make our plans, but the Lord determines our path."

"...for the lord God is a sun and shield
the Lord bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does He withhold
from those who walk uprightly.
O Lord of hosts,
blessed is the one who trusts in you."
~Psalm 84:11-12

"...will you not revive us again
that your people may rejoice in you?
show us your steadfast love, O Lord
and grant us your salvation.
let me hear what God the Lord will speak
for he will speak peace to His people, to His saints;
but let them not turn back to folly,
surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
faithfulness springs up from the ground
yes, the Lord will give what is Good
and our land yield its increase.
Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps away."
~Psalm 85:6-13
