- Two more weeks until this semester ends and Christmas break starts. Thus: crunch time. Thus: not much blogging or writing or ukulele other happy things.
- College applications are happening, slowly but surely.
- I finished a draft of chapter 1, the first draft that I'm actually pleased with. I've now rewritten this chapter 3 times, so here's hoping this one's it!
- I will soon be letting other people read a few select chapters to get their input and edit, which is super scary. I've only let one person read anything in the book before and I made them swear to not judge me or read certain chapters.
- I'm becoming really good at being sleep deprived. I've actually found that with 2 hours of sleep and a little more coffee than usual, I'm happier than I am when I'm well rested. Granted, I'm certainly not smarter in that state of mind.
- Tonight I'm going to a Behold the Lamb of God concert. If you've never heard Andrew Peterson's Christmas album by that name, you should change that. I'm not a fan of Christmas music, actually, at all, but this concert and this album is my favorite part about Christmas every year.
- I've realized why I hate Christmas music. It's too happy. Now, I'm a very happy person almost all of the time, but Christmas music just annoys me so much. I love honest music with honest lyrics, so singing historically inaccurate songs about Christmas that pretend like everything in the world is wonderful for one day a year just make me want to punch something. (There weren't 3 wise men. The wise men didn't come until Jesus was 2 or 3. Jesus more than likely cried as a baby. And no, my grandmother did not get run over by a reindeer. Gah.) Okay, I feel better. End rant.
- I was super excited that I had over 1000 page views in all sorts of countries, until I learned that most of them are probably spam. Dang it. I should have realized that when it looked like I had such a following in countries that don't speak English, ha.
Remember when I said I had a modernity test and a research paper? I should probably go do that now, I guess. If you actually read all of those bullet points props to you. Even if you didn't, I hope you have a wonderful day!
Ok, I freaking love you, but I am going to be sending you YouTube links to Christmas worship songs ASAP!
ReplyDelete(Don't fret, I'll screen them for historical accuracy first :D )
Hahaha thanks Shannon :) There are some Christmas songs that I like, I just don't like the vast majority of Christmas music. Little Drummer Boy? What the heck is it even about? O Come O Come Emmanuel is good though. Nice and sad. ;)
ReplyDeleteLol, I'm sorry Becca, but I LOVE Christmas music. Haha, but then I like music for the musical aspect of it, not the words most of the time. My family laughs because there are songs that I absolutely LOVE but they're talking about like getting drunk and having sex and all that fun stuff, but the music part of it is AMAZING!!!! And I don't listen to the words of most songs anyways unless they're like "Na na na na na na na..." or something incredibly useless like that, haha. Hope your amazing research paper goes well, oh, and just a thought, you could include that in your book, hint hint:) It might be good for people to understand the reason abortion is such a problem here. Maybe you could put it into a really long introduction or something, haha:) Oh, and do you know yet if you're going to have someone write a forward for you? Okay, really long comment, hope it saves...=/ Praying for you Becca!
