Procrastinating...never a good plan...

Once again, a long time has passed since I last updated my blog. Life moves fast here, and its demanding to keep up with school. When I returned from Easter Break, I had a literature paper to write. April 4-6 I attended the women's silent retreat which was beautiful. It's wonderful just to have profound silence! It was a gentle encounter with God; all about His great mercy, and love. We never have a reason to distrust Him! Amazing how difficult trusting God can be...

Anyway, once the lit. paper was done, I kinda fell appart and just didn't focus as much as I should have on homework. So now I'm scambling to research and write a 5-7 page history paper assessing the alleged unification of Italy and Germany in the 19th century. I'm confused, overwhelmed, and short on time. I would appreciate prayers! A lot of Rosaries!

Though, I have had fun goofing off. Last night I Irish fiddled for my friends, and today I went shopping with friends. I needed to get travel sized shampoo and whatnot. It was very fun (and not completely unproductive since I read my histoy textbook for background info concerning the paper topic, read some of King Lear - which I find almost impossible - and studied the anatomy of a clam and a worm).

Ah well. Life. I need balance...I guess finding it is part of the adventure of growing up! It keeps things exciting, and reminds you to trust God's mercy when you lose control.
