Famous Last Words Week 5

This week has been a stress ball, full of work, homework assignments, wedding planning and pre-marital counseling preparation. My fiancé and I read through the first part of the first chapter of our pre-marital counseling book, “Catching Foxes,” last night. The content is on-point, but it is time-consuming and makes you dig deep into your past experiences, family dynamics and your views of God.

This week I read the Tales of a Parrot story, which was a nice change compared to the last few weeks of reading. I didn’t really experiment with a new writing style this week, but hopefully when I start writing more of my final storybook project, I will get more motivated to explore different options.

As many of you know I work for a nonprofit called Serve Denton, and there was an interesting article that we came by. I have the link to the article typed below, but as a summary, there is a man who walked an insane distance to work everyday so a 19 year-old man in Denton, TX, decided to raise money to buy him a car. The ending is pretty phenomenal!

My fiancé showed me this song the other day. He sent it to me on Spotify so I know it is for sure located there, but I don’t know about iTunes. The song is called The Love You’ve Given, sung by Jack Garratt. I hope you enjoy this ethereal, airy song as much as I did. The ending is a bit odd, so just focus on the beginning section!

I have felt behind in my classes this week because I picked up a small job on the side where I package and mail merchandise for a comedy company.  It has been a blast to work there because the environment is pretty relaxed. Most people are cracking stupid jokes, so you are constantly laughing. I just have to do more homework at the end of the week now.
