i'd have to say that those three words best sum up georgia tech's grad school. if you aren't working continuously, you probably aren't going to get a whole lot of sleep most nights. you have to pace yourself here - get up early, work hard on homework and projects, study for hours, go to classes in between that hard work, don't forget to eat, add a little exercise in there to stay healthy and energized, and then try to get to bed at a reasonable hour. this past week didn't exactly work out that way, so i'm now down with a sinus infection from combination of lack of sleep and stress. i'm working through it though, and still staying motivated and disciplined. i'm trying to get a project done today that's due on tuesday, then start homeworks that are due thursday, then hopefully work ahead for the next week so i can enjoy my weekend home next weekend (which will be the first time i've seen my husband, family, and friends in a month YAY!).
i have found that starting my days reading the bible and praying have helped tremendously. i definitely have a more positive attitude and i'm more productive. but i'm afraid i am more just going through the motions of reading my set goal for the day, and praying through my list of prayers. i want to dig deeper. i want to know Him better. i want to (taken from psalm 63:1-8) earnestly seek Him, thirst for Him, belong to Him. i want to know and feel that His love is better than life, and i want to glorify Him. i want to praise Him as long as i live, and for my soul to cling to Him and to be satisfied by Him. i want to live for an audience of One - live for what God thinks of me, not how i compare to everyone else.
one of my goals for this week is to stay on top of my schoolwork and to be motivated and disciplined. my goal for my life is to live by His commandments and be overflowing with His love, so that others can see Him through me.
