Here at the end of all things...
The King got to sit on his throne last night. We wrapped up Lord of the Rings for Lani at around 2:30 in the morning. Oh goodness. There were several points where I very nearly convinced myself to head to bed. But it just wasn't happening. It's too epic.
I'm glad that sleep didn't claim me last night actually. It was probably the best time I've yet had with everyone here. Matt Dugan and I are bromantic soul mates. Oh the laughter...
Lodrick unplugged the TV trying to plug in his laptop right as the orcs were getting of their boats taking Osgiliath Normandy style. It was pretty hilarious.
I am infinitely grateful for the flattering tag made by Lani on facebook. I'm just. Garsh...(on the drive back from CCF at the VU we listened to Come What May and I just belted it the whole time. Someday someone'll take notice of my awesome.)
At CCF James, the worship pastor, got everyone to go down on their knees for a song. It was not good on me knees. He drew from a chapter in Mere Christianity about the spirit following the gestures of the body (well...it was a very similar talk. He didn't explicitly reference it.) Raising my hands is still. Uncomfortable in public. I don't know why. Maybe because I'm always standing next to Matt and his wingspan is dominating my personal space (no offense Matt. I love it.) But no. That's not it. I dunno. I guess I still connect it, on some level, to putting on a spiritual show. Even though I'm very completely convinced in my mind that doesn't have to be the case. I dunno. It's my introversion. Maybe. Focusing my energies inward. But no it's not...I've rarely been able to stand in awe of God while in public. I just am to caught up with being aware of my surroundings. (Which is odd....because extroverted sensing is my inferior cognitive function) It's stupid.
I need to get to the library and ready myself for the final push this quarter. Can't let down now! Forth Eorlingas!! (totally Rohirric for brain cells.)
I'm also planning on contacting the Polisci, English, and Spanish departments to set my academic course for the future. Since I'm realizing that in all likelihood it's going to take a full three years to finish here. Political Science and English double up, then possibly a Spanish minor. I think it's going to be almost all English next quarter, since I can't register for any upper level polisci until I have finished the class I'm in right now. Stink.
Theoden has all the best speeches. At least in the movies. He's a regular Henry V.
Anyway. It's time to freshen up and go hit those books.
