Preparation Overload

I have spent the day inside the house. I went out to get the mail, but that was it.

Today I finished the take home final for the World Cultures class. I am relieved that I will never have to do that again. Except that I will because I need to reassess what chapters I really want to cover in next quarters class. Ugggh. that's a whole new beast of work.

I have to speak in church tomorrow on "Provident Living". I know. Many of you are chuckling to yourself. This is possibly the worst topic for me to speak on. The only thing worse would be speaking on Priesthood Responsibilities. Actually, that might be a cool topic.

I wrote a nice 10 minute talk. And I have since scrapped it because it is just too academic.

I am going to rewrite it, but I need a break.

After I finish the talk, I'm going to prepare my relief society lesson on Forgiveness.

I was supposed to go dancing at Adams-Morgan tonight, but after spending the day reading about Provident Living, I felt guilty about spending money to go clubbing. So instead, I'm at home with my books and my computer.

I am hopeful that this talk will come together and that I will be able to share the principles of Provident Living in a way that will inspire everyone in the room to want to improve their lives--but right now, I'm still in the wilderness of preparation.

And as for the lesson on Forgiveness. . . I'm gonna have to get up early tomorrow and pray that the sisters are feeling talkative. This might be a problem since I'm usually the talkative one.

My brain hurts.
