There's too much to catch up. I can't do it now. I have a paper to write, a history midterm to study for, and 70 pages of history reading to do for my other two history classes, one of which, no doubt, will contain a quiz. This is all needed for tomorrow. Besides that - well, I don't want to get into my other responsibilities. There are too many.
My real purpose in writing is to express mild outrage. I have just discovered that one of my good friends, whom I have not talked to in two weeks, is giving a presentation on parliamentary procedure
tomorrow evening at my college. One would think I should have known this before I received the general announcement in my inbox on this end of things. I admittedly heard echoes of it on this end from another good friend, who has formed a much newer friendship with the first-mentioned friend. Still, as is the classic situation, I don't really know in detail anything that's going on.
My life is full of so much stress right now. What shall I do? I shall read the following verses again:
"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord" (Jeremiah 9.23-24, KJV).
