Hmm 21 days later

Yes, I have been relaxed in some of the areas of my life that probably shouldn't be.

I am currently trying to do everything all at once, and I just can't seem to do it. Bah, time is going too fast.

Ich liebe Deutschklass. I am not all that great at German, but I am sure enjoying it! Why can't I be terrific at it? Can you imagine how much I'd love German then?!

Oak Hall Council is doing some terrific things and I'm very excited about the activities. We plan on doing a safe sex/alcohol awareness activity in 2 weeks. We're holding an icebreaker as the residents come in, free drinks (mocktails), music, a "talk" by the RAs about happenings on campus and society, booths with condoms and pamphlets and information, games, and lots of prizes! Then, we plan on a haunted house - which may or may not be a blast. I plan on making it a blast - now that I know we have the help!

hmmmm

I've been reading up on Edda's and the Tree of Life is VERY interesting to me. It says inTitchenell's, The Masks of Odin: Wisdom of the Ancient Norse, that almost every myth/religion has some sort of tree symbolism. What is it about trees? An only constant in the world? Until humans are finally rid of them in the future? Or will trees even live on past us - their roots going much deeper into the actual soil than we do... they LIVE within the earth and are a part of the spirituality - we die and are placed into the earth to become part of it after we have helped destroy it. All we do is use. But, then, what would the earth be for except to be appreciated and/or abused? Ah! The meaning of life. The eternal Truth with a big T.

Wish I knew what it was, then I'd be famous... or more likely, condemned as a nutcase or very smug in having TMI. Mystery has its merit.

Ah rambling, love it! Going to go read some more. Perhaps I'll just read the Hobit for an hour, then some more on Eddas, and perhaps a bit of Hall Council paperwork.
