Nothing Really New

I'm sitting in a computer lab at school, reading blogs between classes, and killing time until my evening class. I have nothing particular to report. I'm in the throes of my second head cold in three weeks - I blame it on lack of sleep, stress, and the generally growing colder weather that we in Canada know and love.

My nose feels like it will explode. I'm trying not to distract whole lecture halls of people by blowing my nose every three seconds, but I'm paying the price for their ability to concentrate. Skipping my evening class tonight is so tempting - but, it's only once a week, and I missed it last week, so I'd better make the effort to get to at least part of it tonight. Maybe I'll leave at the break halfway through. If it's interesting, though, I'll stay.

When I get home tonight - probably around 9ish, I have to put another coat of paint on the trim in my new blue bedroom. Here's a tip - if you don't want your painting to be time consuming, don't use bold or dark colors. In what seems to be oddly paradoxical, it takes far more coats to make a dark color cover than a light color. So, my walls are light blue with only two coats, but the royal/cobalt blue trim is on its third coat (not including the undercoat of dark primer) with at least one more necessary before the former white paint stops showing through.

Once I finish painting, I've promised myself a M*A*S*H* episode or two, possibly some leisure reading, and I should definitely get started on the book I need to write a review of for class next week. I've only read fifteen pages, so I have another hundred and eighty-five or so to finish up before I can write the paper.

I promise that if I ever manage to get settled back into my bedroom, these posts will stop discussing the mundane that I can write in passing, and start discussing any one of the fascinating subjects I've been mulling while I've been displaced for the last three weeks. Lots of interesting Narnia thoughts, a few new depression thoughts, and lots of thoughts about fear and God and how these things all relate. My head is bursting, but I'm lacking the quiet space to settle down and write these things out.

Okay, I'm off to buy dinner - either Vietnamese or Subway, and hopefully to meet up with a friend and hang out for an hour or so before class! Cheers!
