Worldly worries and their antidote.

Last night I went to see my school's production of Equus. Provocative... that's the only word I could use to describe it. Sarah and I caught the midnight show, so I got back to my room well after 2 am.

I had planned on hitting the sack right after coming home from the play, but at 3 am I still just wasn't tired. I listened to music, surfed the web (like I don't do that enough) and waited for my roomie (who worked on wardrobe for the play) to roll in. She got back in at 3:30, or something like that.

With only finals week left in our college careers, we've both been kinda anxious... Okay, more than kinda. I know I was freaking out quite a bit, especially before I landed my new job. Will I find a place to work? Will I have money? Stay in touch with friends? Feel disconected? Wish I hadn't graduated?

Will I be totally unsuccessful as an independent adult?

We talked about this for a good hour and a half, only not focusing on my worries, but on hers. A lot of seniors are totally scared, and it's turning us into these anxious, emotional, neurotic freaks. I hate this feeling. My roomie hates this feeling. Everyone hates this feeling.

At about 5 am we decided to call it a night. I was sitting in bed for a half hour afterward pondering the future. And I came to the conclusin that although our hearts may be beating a mile a minute, there's a anti-worry drug available for anyone who wants it:

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13

it gets worse? uh oh. I'm only finishing my second year...

I swore and cried so much this exam season. It was nuts.

Don't worry... I felt exactly like you do now when I graduated from college. It's not as bad as it seems now. You'll just find a job and probably meet less people than you do now : ) I would say that's the main difference: a reduction of your social life.

My favourite verse. :) Good luck with it all, Drina. I know it will all turn out, I just hope you don't stress out too much about it. :)
