Last week’s episode of The Office reminded me of this photo…I think it’s hilarious…This is an actual photo from a local news broadcast.  Enjoy.

Dear (select) Readers,

I enjoy your comments which pertain to blog content or closely related issues, however, the personal attacks have got to stop. Do not push me on this. I will ban you.

Thanks so much for what I am sure is a very understanding and repentant attitude,

It has begun…Last week, Kristin stayed home on Sunday for a little day of rest. We have been quite busy for the last two weeks. So anyway, I decided that when I finished exams and my crazy weekend, I would take Monday off. I usually just had school all day on Monday and no work, so now that school is gone, (for now) I am taking today to do nothing. Reality/Work will set in again tomorrow. Summer school starts soon.

Old Testament History
Romans
Artist in the Church
Hymnology
Theology II
Class Piano II
Student Ministry Practicum
Applied Guitar IV

I am relieved. (grades pending)

Growing up, I loved the weekends just like every other kid. The school bell would ring at 2:45, mom would be there to pick me up, and thus began the relaxation. Perhaps I would go to a friend’s house on Friday night and stay up late playing some Mario Cart on the N-64 or have the parents drop me off at the Rave for some sweet PG movie action. Saturday, I would wake up around nine or ten (I used to have a hard time sleeping in during the school year because I had to get up so early during the week). Whenever I woke up I would head down stairs and watch the usual NBC Saturday line up which (then) consisted of Saved by the Bell, City Guys, and Hang Time. After about an hour and a half of TV I may doze off again, only to be awakened by a knock on the door from a local neighborhood friend who just wanted to shoot some hoop or go exploring.

But now, not so much. This weekend looks a little more like this:

Bottom line…I’m very tired and I have been sick for like two weeks. Monday I am going to collapse. This has literally been the busiest / hardest semester of my life…Sorry this post doesn’t have the usual humor and entertainment value as usual. You’ll hear from me Monday and I’ll be in a fantastic mood. School will be out. Life will slow down. Keep checking in, because pretty soon I’m going to post about a DVD player I just bought, and it is going to be a gas.
