Today I read
On the Sermon on The Mount Book II
Which means I am done it, and that I should have been able to do it in one sitting, but this week I can feel the need of pressing matters, like my rent, my job prospects (need to phone Claire tomorrow about a job) helping people move, moving into my ACTUAL room upstairs in a few days. (I guess I could start moving it now, but...) and the fact that we are 'supposedly' putting on a play in September, but there is no one in charge of it. So, technically, we're screwed there, but like I said, it's not my fault. Not put in charge, can't really get a hold of Colin, and I know he's busy so I don't want to bug him, but. But. Who knows. We'll have to see what happens. I'm just glad I'm reading for my thesis again. That means I'm making progress, however little. Even if it is totally lame the amount I can concentrate today. But, I'm doing more work nowadays, so it's understandable. (French and Dutch will eat me alive.)
OK, I'm going to go do something else. Like be productive or something.

Today I read
On Two Souls Against the Manicheans
On the Profit of Believing
Today was a bad work day. Ugh. And I ate too much. Ugh. I managed to finish a little, but definitely not everything I had planned. Tomorrow is going to be hard...going to try and finish 'On the Sermon on the Mount tomorrow'...I really need to start working on that essay again...maybe a little later tonight....hmmm....too much candy...ugh, why did I buy gummi candies??? I don't even like them that much. Although I got a lot of other nice food, and got to run into someone today (Sean) so that was nice...good to have people contact. Also, I was sort of 'ugh' after my 25 lap run. Over the next two weeks I should be able to do thirty five...I think I should start timing my runs. All I know is that even at the victory lap I was able to burn it better than I have ever been able to before, and I had been running for almost...well, maybe an houlf and a half straight, so that's something, and the run home wasn't that hard. I need to start getting to bed earlier, though, there's so much to do...and that play....I have to write it, or no one else will, and then we'll be stuck...but it's also not really my fault, so I don't know what I should do. Yikes. Nothing like being semi-responsible for something that is one-hundred percent blameworthy.
I have no clue how I'm gonna lose this weight, either. Yoy. OK, so work on essay later tonight! Maybe!

Today I read
On the Trinity books 13-15
The Trinity is finally DONE. Ugh. I never want to have to do that again. Augustine is really starting to get on my nerves, splicing hairs for fun, and I KNOW it's for fun. This wouldn't have taken me so long, but I just finished moving, that took about a week, and then Karen came for four days, and I've just recovered and gotten things back in order (especially the sleep, I can't believe how tired I was.) Anyways, I'm totally ready to eat now, I'm so hungry. I just finished running 25 laps yesterday, so 35 is next on the list, I have no clue how I'm going to make it. I think my body wants more food now that I am back on my regular schedule, and especially since I'm going to be running longer, harder. But I think my legs and lungs are getting stronger, so that makes me happy. Whew. About and hour and half of french tonight. I will try and get back on track with that essay...I might just try and do it in one or two goes, and then limit my Augustine readings to smaller packages on those days...we'll have to see.
Time to eat.

Today I read
The Trinity Books 11-13
Whew! Two more, then onto either the Confessions, or something else. I'll have to see. I'm going to lose about a week and a half in the move, I think, from moving into Montseratt's bedroom, and then back into 'mine,' and fixing mine to the way I like it. (It will be small. Sigh.) Tomorrow's going to be rough because I have so much to do, and the last two books are about 80 pages, more than I've been reading lately. OK, I'll have to find some way to make it work out so I can be done before Sunday. =D
I have a lot of work to do on the Tech Essay, I think I really need to get on that, and I have a lot of work to do in grad studies research, so maybe I'll do a little bit more of that this weekend.

Yesterday I
found a piece of paper that had some of the early notes I had made for the tech essay (THANKFULLY. I was running out of ideas.)
Today I
Read the Trinity books 7-9
Today was really hard because I'm in the middle of packing, and cleaning, and studying, and buying birthday presents, and can't stop thinking about said date, and want to contact said person, but know I should take it slow, not fast, and I can't help it, emotional wreck, emotional wreck.
Boy, this sure could put a damper on my studies, hey?
Today was also hard because Augustine kept speaking in riddles about mind, love, and knowledge, and about how to represent the Trinity, and about how to properly think about the Trinity versus how not to think about it. Hard stuff, and it was only 38 pages, took me as long as some days with 90 pages. Not nice.
OK, well, I should do some languages, here.

Today I read
The Trinity Books 4-6
I really should have read more, but, as per usual, I got side-tracked, and my brain wouldn't work, and I was really tired today. I'm almost positive I will need to re-read book 6 because there looked to be some important stuff in there, but I couldn't discern any of the last book because it was in reference to Hilary and an 'unnamed authour,' which means I have to use secondary reading to make sense of this. I might get a 'The Trinity' for dummies book out of the library to read in conjunction with reading this. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow. =D
This week will be bad for workload because I'm moving a lot of stuff. Great. *Grin* I start tomorrow. Which is good, because it's good to be around people, especially my new house mates. I think this will keep me saner than before, hopefully help me work better. I will try and keep up with things, though. Hopefully I can start to get ahead, since according to my schedule, I'm already starting writing now, while I was supposed to be reading secondary sources through July. What I realized was that I didn't make any time for reading PRIMARY material closely because I assumed that I would have it down pat once my research paper was done. Oh, woah to my stupidity. Sigh. Anyways, I MIGHT be able to be finished by August, early September, reading primary, and then I can start on secondary, and I still have to read Being and Time this summer. Augh. I'm a SLACKER. But I know if I try to work faster, I'm going to do worse for myself, like today, when I tried to rush the last 15 pages (which turned out to be the meatiest, dang it.) and I wont absorb anything but random stuff. Also, I had a date today, so it, uh, kinda occupied my mind. Because I'm like that. It kinda still is occupying my mind because it went so well, which I'm now suspicious it went well for me, less than stellar for them. Argh. Dates are difficult. So it life in general. *Grin* I'm happy, even if I never see the person again, I'm glad I had such a nice night. Dates are usually terrible for me.
I need to get a bike.
