Almost half way through the semester and I am just now getting around to telling you about it!! shame on me! Any way, I am only taking 12 hours this semester, Marketing (online) and Residential one, History of Interiors, and Interior Design Visual Presentations one (Rendering). Rendering is going to be my hardest class because I am not very good at drawing so the class is going to be a challenge for me but that's nothing really new. I am not sure what Residential I is all about yet, I've learned a lot but I'm not really sure what the focal point of the class is. My classes seem to be going OK, my professors seem to be a little scattered but that could be because CIDA is coming in just a few weeks to renew our certification so they are all really stressed. I already have my Marketing midterm this week!! It doesn't seem like it is time for midterms!! I applied to work in the office at my apartment complex, I had a group interview last week and I got called back yesterday for a personal interview today!! I hope I get the job so that I can stop working at CB I am just really tired of serving. Serving is harder on your body than you would think. The training coordinator was talking to me on Sunday and she said that she served a few days last week and she went home and was SO tired, she said she forgot how tiring serving can be!! I need something less stressful, I am stressed out enough with school and then I put myself through the stress of serving...I'm crazy. So I am pretty excited about everything right now and I can't wait for Santa to be here!!
On a non-Interior Design note, Last week, as I was pulling into my apartment complex, Wally from total axxess (Wayfm) was talking about how we some times treat God like a vending machine. We put in our prayer, expect him to fulfill that prayer and when it isn’t fulfilled…we get mad at the machine, kicking and shaking it, trying to get that prayer out. He discusses how it is a vicious circle, we give God total control of our lives but then a few weeks later we try to control it and yet again get frustrated. He then admits, this may not be a common thing but that is what happens to me and I wanted to call him and say NO that happens to me too!! I just can’t seem to give God total control! I recently declared (again) that I am going to stop controlling my life so much and let God’s plan run its course, hopefully this time I can take a step forward in this process instead of 2 steps back. I am trying so hard to have things the way I want them, WHEN I want them and it is killing me!! You can’t fight God’s will. God’s plan is the only plan and we tend to forget that.
The radio dj then ended the speech with a song that I found amusing and delightful:
“Laughing with” by Regina Spektor
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one’s laughing at God
When it’s gotten real late
And their kid’s not back from the party yet
No one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they’re mistaken
No one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No one’s laughing at God
When there’s a famine or fire or flood
*Chorus*
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’ve lost all they’ve got
And they don’t know what for
No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they’re ‘bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughing at God in hospital
No one’s laughing at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very
poor
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
We’re all laughing with God
As always, Thank you for reading and I will update you soon!!
