The Man Who Was October

I'm not that man. But it is October, and I flipping love this month. Apologies on relative radio silence, all. It's not because I have decided to hate you or anything. Stefan and I are still complicated on Facebook and it is wonderful.

Life's been crazy. Not a whole lot of drama going on in my life, really, but there's plenty of academic stuff to worry about in the meantime. I've got my comprehensive examinations at the end of this month, midterms are a week away (well, the papers I have due around the middle of the semester), Esto Vir is in its takeoff phase of the school year, my roommate and I are trying to make a coherent outline of stuff so that people after us don't have to reinvent the wheel again (it's happened several times), the other organizations I have are in full swing now, too, and I have many, many papers to do this semester. I don't get where the time is all going, and I can't wait for next semester wherein I'll be doing far less and doing far more at the same time.

It's all crazy and vague, and I can't really elaborate on an internet blog on the relative nothings that have comprised the frustrations of my life since LW ended, but I was playing "We Are Called" on the piano last night and Carolyn called and the timing was amazing. Also, remember that reading from Philippians we always read on Wednesdays of JW? "Do not let your hearts be troubled, but in everything, through prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your prayers known to the Lord. Then the very peace of God will be upon you and guard your heart and mind, etc."? That was the second reading today and I thought of you all. I hope you're all doing well!

Oh, I love October because of the Feast Days combined with the weather of Fall: St. Therese Lisieux, St. Francis of Assisi, the Guardian Angels, Our Lady of the Rosary, St. Jude, St. Simon, and more. What a great month. Anyway, I gotta work on a presentation, so I'm peacing. Beard out.
