| The Pearl
O the dragons are gonna fly tonight
They're circling low and inside tonight
It's another round in the losing fight
Out along the great divide tonight
We are aging soldiers in an ancient war
Seeking out some half remembered shore
We drink our fill and still we thirst for more
Asking if there's no heaven what is this hunger for?
Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod
We lift up our prayer against the odds
And fear the silence is the voice of God
And we cry Allelujah, Allelujah
We cry Allelujah
Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief
The seasons come and bring no sweet relief
Time is a brutal but a careless thief
Who takes our lot and leaves behind the grief
It is the heart that kills us in the end
Just one more old and broken bone that cannot mend
As it was now and ever shall be amen
And we cry Allelujah, Allelujah
We cry Allelujah
So there'll be no guiding light for you and me
We are not sailors lost out on the sea
We were always headed toward eternity
Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee
Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled
Down through the long loneliness of the world
Until we behold the pain become the pearl
And we cry Allelujah, Allelujah
We cry Allelujah
And we cry Allelujah, Allelujah
We cry Allelujah |

| i think i have this problem where i get too excited about getting to take a nap so that by the time i hurry and finish something or hurry back to my room, i'm too worked up to actually fall asleep.
i also have this problem where i'm addicted to reading my bio book.
in other news, it's fall break! my last class just ended about an hour ago. this fall break will be spent working on my paper from summer, hopefully going to the mall finally (lisa and i have been trying to go for about a month now), and skydiving! our reservations have been set for monday O_O so excited and so scared and actually it feels kind of surreal right now cause i just found out the plans are set.
i think that's all. i think i'll take a nap now...if i can stay sufficiently nonchalant about it.

| a little while ago ago i walked into the bathroom and saw jane finishing up her dishes. a few secs later i heard her trying to open the door and then, "wendy, i can't open the door" and thought, oh prob cause she's holding her dishes. however, i soon found out this was not the case. the door is broken or something and the doorknob won't turn from the inside. so yep jane and i were locked in the kilgo I 2nd floor bathroom. for the first few minutes we just stared in disbelief, both at each other and at the door. then we started knocking on the door hoping someone would hear us. we kept hearing ppl go by the stairs. finally someone heard us, but she lost her bathroom key so she had to go find someone else to open the door for us. i think we were stuck in there for about 10 min.
in other news, it's our room! so yeah this year has been really busy so far, and i'm pretty sure it will get even worse. i'm taking organic chem, genetics/molecular bio, chinese, and an art hist class. i also got a work study job in a lab yay. i'm pretty excited except it's 7 hrs/week so...i'll really have to manage my time well. this year has been good though, despite the busyness. i'm living on west campus now (as opposed to east, which is the freshman part of campus) and it's sooo convenient and much nicer/prettier. plus our rooms are bigger and i'm living around a lot of cool ppl. meeting/getting to know freshmen has been fun too. if you asked me this time last year, i would have seriously doubted i'd ever be saying this but, i'm really glad to be here.
i hope all you guys still in houston are doing ok. i saw some pics online of ike's damage and it does not look pretty. i know clake evac-ed though so that's good. i don't know how flooded clake is though. i wonder if clhs is flooded...i remember we had a bad drainage system. anyways, let me know how things pan out. i heard there's no power or water for 2 weeks.
happy harvest moon festival
