in-class notes

Here I am in class, and Kant bores me. No, not true - this class bores me; Kant just confuses me. My mind wanders...

Yesterday was a wretched and horrible day, and for really no reason. Diet? Chemical imbalance? Spiritual attack? Pbth, who knows. The point is that I was in that mood that is my least favorite of all, and I skipped Plato's Republic to go home and numb myself somehow. Originally I planned to nap, but I ended up playing some Pokemon instead. Jared called! So I talked to him for 67 minutes, and God used him to give me perspective (yet again). Thank God for this man! We didn't talk about any one necessary thing, we just talked, and he made my day. Thanks Jared...

"It's in the realm of neumena! Is it intelligible? Does it make sense? He's talking about some sort of pretemporal..." Hmm. I should be paying attention. Anyway, back to my story:

So I kept playing pokemon because though my attitude and soul were brightened, I still felt burdened by certain stresses. I got out of the cave on the Whirl Islands, tied up all my loose ends in Johto, organized the pokemon in my boxes, got out the items I thought I'd need for my Kanto adventure, and set off on the Magnet Train to Saffron City. In catching Lugia in the cave before my last save, I had obtained the final element to my Ultimate Team, with which I want to proceed with my Kanto adventure. However, I have to balance with that raising of the Ultimate Team, the pursuit of "Catch[ing] Em' All" to complete my pokedex. So I gathered two eggs into my party (which when they are due will hatch into two cute little Mareep), withdrew a Nidoran female from my box , and went out and caught a low level Pidgey. The purpose of the latter two pokemon being in my party, being as ordinary and common as they are, is simply to evolve them into their highest evolutions, thereby adding to my pokedex. I save my game in Pewter City, completely prepared to conquer Kanto at my earliest convenience...

"Why cannot the possibility be impugned? 'You ought, therefore you can.'" Now Carly is talking. I'm still not listening...

I'm fasting today and tomorrow (liquids only), and will promptly, at the conclusion of class, spend an hour praying and reading Scripture. Then I have a make-up Judaism class, and I'll have another hour of the same. And this weekend is Fall Conference. Pray God would use the fast and the conference to rock my world.

Class is now over. Good bye!
