squirrelific!

Procrastination is the sport of kings... KINGS I SAY!
I have a political science review essay to do, on an article from a Journal. I can't understand the fancy Political Science terms/articles, so im having a lot of trouble.
Some selected 'sentences':
"Yet at the same time, US presidents are elected officials with a unique perspective based upon their election constituency and an accumulation of insulated agencies decreases the ability of presidents to be responsive to their constituents."
"Strategic resources boost imcumbents' prospects by almost 4% for each unit increase in strategic quality, independent of the personal/performance measures."
yeah, okay... so that stuff wasnt too hard to work out.. but really! how can I write a review essay of that??!

Next thing... *yells* I AM SO PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A L'EUROPE, EN AFRIQUE, AUX ILES! YEEESSSSS!!!
The pastor of the church i am currently attending has just got back from a trip to Fiji, seeing the revival thats going on there. And she was talking about how our church is going to put money into a church over there, so they can build a youth centre, and maybe send people from our church over there to help build it! And oh man did that excite me!!
And then, THEN, they told people who have really felt they are being expanded that they could come up and be prayed for... and oh it was mighty :):) The pastor prayed for me, and then he came back and said that he had a word for me, that he felt i have a calling on my life for missions, and stuff... and i was SO EXCITED!! Cos i DO want to get into missions! and i've never spoken to him about it, so for you sceptics: =P
More exciting stuff later, when i think about it, but God gave me three things "A L'Europe, En Afrique, et AUX ILES"! In Europe, Africa and the Islands. Three areas i have desire and passion for. And its going to pass. REALISE, YO!

Lastly i was a bit emotional before, but then i got distracted talking to Mike and Nathan and Breo, so it all went away, but ... im pleased about this box being opened. ITS ABOUT TIME!
The Youth Pastor's wife came up to me today and asked if i want to meet up with her this week sometime and have a chat. Just about me and who i am and stuff, cos we've never really talked before. And i was getting upset because its like someone really cares! I've never had someone come up to me and say "i'd like to get to know you better, how about you come over to my place!" (lol, well apart from dodgy boys, you know what i mean!) People actually care out there, and want to get to know me. And its scary, but im up for the challenge =) Its not necessarily going to be easy to go from being very closed, to being open with people, but its a step that needs to be taken ...

And lastly... ONLY 4 MORE SLEEPS TO GO!! YAY!!

YAY! :) good to see you so pumped! "IM EXCITED" as Big Kev would say! :D

And indeed, Procrastination is a kingly pastime! lol.. why so surprised that there are good, caring people out there! :D glad youve found them!

Europe, Africa and the Islands eh?... thats a prettty big area! (actually, thats everywhere apart from America/China) Hope youve got your hiking boots! ;)

And im just wondering what the connection is.. everyone i know seems to be planning trips to either Fiji or New Zealand.. (I mean, Fiji i can understand! but NZ? ^_^)

hey Phil, you should totally come over! We should import you! That way you get to be a real person, not just our imaginary friend (mass hallucination...?)

I feel ya sister! I have to write a review essay for pols too, and it is very nasty and other such bad things. And I'm so happy about your getting directed and other God stuff, I get so gushy about people's missions and stuff God lays on their hearts, it's so cool how He uses different stuff to buzz people out and how He has everything so planned out so everything gets done! You rock homie babe.
