Right.  As if my life is eventful enough to warrant updates. ;) 

Well, I went to see The Lion King tonight at the Atlanta Civic Center.  It was better than I expected.  In fact, it was wonderful!!  I was most impressed with the costumes, set design, and singing.  I enjoyed it quite a lot.  And I am always glad when I can patronize the arts in some way.  A Friday night well-spent.

In other news, I received one of my textbooks in the mail today!  It is one of about three that I’ll need to read over the next few months in preparation for my teaching assistantship.  So the work begins!  I’ve also been searching for an apartment via internet, which is sketchy and stressful, but I have no other option.  I truly am excited about this upcoming phase of my life.  I know that God has blessed me with these opportunities, and I want to honor that by doing my work, both as student and teacher, with as much excellence as I can.  And I know that that excellence begins now–months in advance, while no one is watching, when it doesn’t seem to count for much.  So, I’ve got a lot of reading and note-taking to do.  Lucky for me, I happen to enjoy that. 

I finally set some deadlines for my poetry book.  And I actually intend to stick to them, which hopefully means I’ll have some printed by the end of the month.  This will be a big accomplishment for me, not because the book will be great, but because I so rarely finish anything I start.

One more thing.  If anybody out there prays, add me to your list of things to talk to God about.  I’ve had some health complications lately.  I believe healing is on the way, so pray and believe with me!
