Last night I realized that today is my last day going to class. Thursday is my final final final. Then I’m done with school. Forever, God-willing. How excited am I, on a scale of one to eleven? I’m about a seventy-three. No hyperbole. Praise Jesus.

So anyway, any and all prayers regarding my final on Thursday are welcome. Unless, of course, they’re prayers I learn humility and don’t make my A in that class, in which case I’ll be very sad and weep, and who really wants to hear that? But I made it through our presentation (for which I made an adorable little nesting doll of Dmitry Medvedev) and the senior reading of part of a story I’d written. In both cases, I was funny and made people laugh and that always makes me happy. If only I can make my professor laugh through my final, maybe I’ll be okay.

I’m about 95% sure I have a stress fracture in my left foot. So the other 5% of me is asking if anyone knows a way to diagnose or be certain without expensive x-rays, exams, and, well, health insurance. Also, 100% of me is asking if anyone knows a better way to treat it than “rest for months.” I’m not holding my breath on that last part though. I think I’m just going to have to wait for it to heal.

I think it’s interesting that the Bible recognizes the overwhelming power and influence music has over our emotions. In First Samuel, Saul is overwhelmed with depression and “a tormenting spirit.” He gets David to play the harp for him whenever he feels down, and his depression is temporarily relieved. And then, of course, it’s David who wrote the Psalms: further encouragement for us to seek solace in the Psalms for plaguing depression and tormenting spirits. That’s pretty cool, right?
Speaking of music, I didn’t realize that the lead singer of Thousand Foot Krutch is the same lead singer of FM Static. Both fantastic bands, and I adore his voice. It makes me incredibly happy. Too bad he’s married.
That’s only partially a joke, that last part.

When I was playing with my iSight on my Mac the other day, I made a couple very short, very silly videos that had me seriously fig’ing. Ol’ dismarum confessed she almost peed from laughing so hard. I’m debating whether or not to release them to the rest of the civilized world.
Thanks to those who commented re: video posts. We’ll see how that works out.

My grandmother is in the Tech paper today. You can read about it here. More attention will be headed her way in the near future. I think she’s just beginning to realize how awesome she is. She’s starting to get excited too. She’s adorable. Fo’ real.

Now I have to do other things.
Peace, love, and seventy-three excitement points.
