Stuart is currently back in the USA and sleeping off a 30+ hour trip home.

He's leaving. He just bought a ticket to LA and from there he'll get a ticket home. Thank God. Just, thank God.

Alright

Wow, it's been way too long since my last post. I didn't really have much to update on other than school. There were a few fun parties but not enough time to update because of the enormous amounts of school work. I managed to pull off a rather amateurish presentation on god-king relationships in Ancient Near Eastern cultures as a comparison to the YHWH-Moses relationship, at least a face-to-face relationship. Hm, maybe rather than focusing on horn-imagery I'll may look more in-depth to various levels of the god-king relationship... I think I like this idea. Good thing I'm meeting with the prof today.

Outside of school-work, life has been rough. Stuart and I had a long rocky time which ended with...an end. To top it all off, the earthquake and its currently horrendous aftermath have me constantly worried. He doesn't have the money to buy a plane ticket home, but I told him to go to the embassy and see what they can do for him if things get to a breaking point.

I've just been taking things one day at a time and throwing myself into doing a million things to keep myself super busy. I don't think there's been a day so far this semester where I haven't just let myself sleep until waking; I always wake up to my alarm. I wouldn't finish any homework otherwise.

Crap, speaking of homework, I forgot that I didn't finish my homework for today. Back to work...
