Words on a Page

Well, in my efforts to blog more, I feel the need to put my fingers to the keyboard again. However, there's not much to say....
My life is boring and busy.
I wake up when my husband leaves for class, do that days homework, look for blog posts to write (I'm a professional blogger. Ironic, considering how bad I am at maintaining my own blog...), and work on my work study (GIAL pays $10/hour for me to do menial work I can do from home. It's a pretty sweet gig.) Monday nights I hang out with a friend I met in Language Documentation and her husband with my husband of course, Tuesday is Bible Study, Wednesday is Greek Study at my house, Thursday was my night off, but recently I turned in my two-weeks notice for the restaurant I work at and now I have all weekend off! To invest in more partnership development, blog writing, work studies, and homework.
So when I think about what to write I have:

  • The bubbles in bubble tea are gross
  • The church I go to is Calvinist and we're doing a study on TULIP in bible study
  • My experience with Greek in undergrad was great. Good thing too otherwise this experience would turn me off of Bible Translation. 
  • Pretty much every single word in Revelations refers to something in the Old Testament. I need to cite all of them. 
  • Pretty much all the key terms you learned in English in grade school were dirty lies that you have to unlearn in grad school. Resolution = Denouement. Climax = psh. no. And all background information is really setting unless some action actually took place. No. Discourse Analysis wasn't complicated enough. 
  • And work that is compensated by an individuals mood is lame work. If you're not a server, hug a server (or leave a nice tip. probably better than a hug...) 
  • The blonde roast at Starbucks is amazing. Lighter taste, less acidic, more caffeine. (My coach and I have a weekly meeting at Starbucks.)  Get a Starbucks card, register it. Now you get free refills on drip coffee. Sit at Starbucks for a day and do work. Buy a coffee for like $2. Get your free refills. You'll get a star each time. 12 stars is a free drink. Any drink! Quad shot Venti Vanilla Caramel Latte with Whip Cream and Caramel Drizzle! When it's free, go big or go home!
  • ...I very recently decided that I should start blogging from Starbucks instead of my house...

Starbucks with so many refills sounds like a bad habit to develop, unless Starbucks is expanding to "rural" Papua New Guinea. :)

Lucky for me, Papua New Guinea processes delicious coffee that makes Starbucks look like a silly joke! Life in the bush will not be without coffee!!
