Anticipate Change...

So here I sit. Alone at my desk with one single solitary lightbulb to sustain me until my head hits the pillow. My senior year officially began this morning with the bi-annually celebrated "handing out of the syllabus" in my first fencing class. That's right people, you heard me, FENCING...as in playing with swords and earning 3 credits for it! I think it's the beginning of a beautiful thing. I will more than likely comment on my love for swords in the future, but for now my thoughts have been consumed with finding some source of reliable income.

I picked up one application today, and it appears to be a little more "interesting" than originally anticipated, but I shall make the final decision tomorrow as to whether or not it will be filled out. Besides that, I plan to establish talks with a certain past employer as to possible continual funding for my available web-design services...

**Speaking of, if you have any sort of graphic design needs (logo, t-shirt, print, etc.) let me know and I shall try my best to work something out. I will be more than willing to show some examples of my past work.**

...The story continues: Living off-campus has been very fun indeed, but it has already begun to drain the cash flow from my bank account as well. So, in order to supplement the extra expenses, I must--for the first time in all four years--find a job. Hopefully this will happen soon enough, and I will not be forced to suffer long hours at a less-than-desirable place of employment (i.e. the mall or restaurant-type establishments).

And now getting to the entire point of this entry's title, I have been perusing through my many photographic treasures and artistic storehouses for just the right look for this journal to take on the new year. It hit me a few days ago just how dark the page seems, and I feel like I should make things somewhat more pleasant to look at. After all, I may like emo music, but I am not depressed in the least. ((Love, joy, and true peace come from ONE PLACE, and I believe broken-hearted, bitter, emo rockers--especially those proclaiming faith--sometimes forget that human relationships will never live up to our desires and expectations in any way close to the way that Christ will exceed them.)) With all of this, what I am meaning to say is: don't be surprised if the next time you visit the technologically enhanced ramblings of my life, things have changed a bit.

NO WORRIES...ONLY WONDERS.
