Have you ever felt like a complete lunatic who was just fighting off stupid giants who seem to be, in every possible way, totally unbeatable? I think the term is "Tilting at windmills." Well, that's what I'm experiencing right now. That no matter what I do, no matter how many times I sally forth toward the solid and immovable windmills, there's no way I can win. With school creeping around the corner at an incredible speed, the thought of leaving the only state I've ever really been in, the unyielding debt that I have now accumulated... I can go on, but I think you get the idea. And I realize, of course, that my "windmills" aren't huge in comparison to others I know of, but considering I've never had to do this before...
I guess I could say that I'm use to being the Sancho who stands next to the idiot who decides to go off and shove a javelin into a mill, rather than actually being the idiot.
I guess there's really nothing that can be done. Crazy little me has already made up my mind to go with it. It won't be easy. I already know that. (I'm not a complete lunatic!) Nothing can change my mind, but some pointers would be lovely!

I heard a talk by a man a couple years ago, he said that you have the least amount of responsibility you will ever have in your life right now. Huh?
He said this to a room full of people, at all different stages of their life, with no knowledge of their lives or what they had been through. How could he say that and better still how could that be true? I really made me think. This is just a spot for a short comment and the answer is much bigger than that so I will blog... come read =)
I love you
Did you change your blog address somehow, or am I losing my mind?
Dont worry. I was really worried about all our debt from school...but before you know it, you've graduated. Mike graduated today and it was awesome.
You'll do GREAT we'll be praying for you!
I love the pic. and one thing that you have to remember, even if you are Don Quihote this time and not Sancho, is that though the windmills are big...they can't move. So you have them at a disadvantage. And maybe instead of trying to defeat them, you could just go inside. I have always wondered what the inside of a windmill looks like. :)
