Sometimes, I just need a sign...

And a lot of times, I turn to iTunes for this sign. I've been super stressed recently, thought have tried my best to cover this fact up because I know everyone is stressed out and going insane. I think it's called life. Anyways, I've been going crazy over things that are both in and out of my control, which again is normal and a shared condition. But sometimes, even thought I know that it is a shared experience by most students this time of year, it's nice to hear someone (or something) else say that things will get better.

Now, what does this have to do for looking for a sign in iTunes? I believe that God speaks through iTunes when it is put on shuffle. Don't laugh because people believe in far "sillier" things than this. Anyways, tonight (actually right now), I turned iTunes on shuffle and it played two songs consecutively that gave me some peace of mind: the first is "Everything's Alright" from Jesus Christ Superstar. The second is Moby's "I'm Not Worried At All." You can't convince me that someone up there had a little smirk on their face when they set the iTunes algorithm tonight.

In other news:

I cannot make crepes. I learned this tonight because I tried and failed. Not once, not twice, but five times. I think I might need some sort of lesson because clearly my 25% French heritage means nothing in the kitchen (though I knew that long before this incident).

Upcoming Events:
Amanda Palmer Concert- 11/20
Yup, she's back! Same location as in January and even more excitement because I remember how amazing her show was last year. Hooray!

Emilie Autumn Concert- 11/29
Heck yes! The woman herself is coming to Carrboro for what is looking to be a fantastic show! I can't wait!

In conclusion:
A lot has been going on with everyone and with everything. Things are getting crazier than I would like and I'm starting to get that feeling that maybe I have once again bit off more than I can chew comfortably and with proper manners. Right now I am working on my proposal for "special projects" next year in Comm, still working on an endless line of projects for my current classes, trying to remind myself that I am actually taking a history class this semester, and on top of that just trying to exist. But Christmas is only 63 days away, which means 55 days until I'm done with exams!!!!!

Praise.

I understand that I'm rambling a bit and this is sort of chain-of-consciousness, but isn't that sort of what a blog is? Anyways, my history professor recently shared some music with us from WW2 (it's a WW2 history course), and one song stuck out to me. I think I need to start following it's advice:

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
