All tied up..
"Oh, I get it! You think I'm all tied up inside, and you want me to figure out how to untangle myself!"
Yea, this is basically how I feel about now. I've had so many meetings with different faculty at UK that I could probably tell you each of their middle names, what side of the bed they sleep on, and how many times they sneeze before they get in the shower. Yea. Pretty impressive, I know.
It really boils down to this: I eventually want to graduate with a master's...like, sometime, say...next May 6th. There is one sole problem: I have not had the class I need in order to turn in a 26 pg. proposal outlining my plan of research. Small problem, great big obstacle.
So, what do I do? I don't know. I plan tons of meetings; read a book on research methods in two days; research tons (ok, more like 100 articles) of literature pertaining to my area of study; skim through the abstracts of each article; actually read a dozen times 2 of the articles; write notes for each meeting I have with each faculty; sleep very little; cut back on eating; forget how to stop the car and push the accelerater (twice on two seperate days); fall into my dresser while getting up from the bed too quickly; ask lots of people many, many questions; sing as loudly as I can; cry once, possibly thrice each day; check out 15 books from 3 different libraries; fall asleep at night singing "I surrender all"; and most importantly, spend time each and every day with my Precious Lord.
Yea, as you can tell, I've been busy. I had a break between meetings and thought I'd catch you up on all my doings. This meeting with the director of graduate studies will most likely determine if I graduate in May or not. Hmmm. I don't like that, but I need to face the facts.
The Lord is so, so good. I am continually amazed at how He loves me and how He so freely gives of His strength to me. He is such a generous God. I'm also thankful for the people He has placed around me. He knows exactly what I need, exactly when I need it. What an encouragement to know that my Great Love pays such close attention to me.
I hope each of you are doing well. If you are ever in the area, stop by and say hey..and cook dinner for me ; ) haha. I love you all!!
