Musings of a Lone Wolf

Well, this is my second attempt at an online journal of sorts. My first try rather fell through when the site owner started charging all members of the community for their daily entries. So hopefully this attempt will last a little longer.

Anyway, enough with the exposition. Hello to everybody out there in Blog Land. The name is Tigerzilla, and for now, that will be the name by which I'd like to be preferred. Only a few people in the online community know my real name, and I know I can trust them. I'm presently a sophomore at the wonderful Furman University in South Carolina, and as you might expect, we are currently under the gun from ... that's right, our friends the finals.

I've already had an exam in Philosophy, two eight-page papers in succession. And I'll have two more exams in Math and Health classes next week. I'm already certain Math is going to be the toughest of the bunch. I seem to have met my Waterloo in this subject. I'm not flat-out terrible at it, but I don't perform as well as I'd like. Of course, that's nobody's fault but my own, and it's up to me to try and change that. Here's hoping.

I'm grateful for the clear, blue, windy weather today. That's my blessing for the day. After last night's torrential rainstorm, which I was unfortunate (and stupid) enough to get caught in, the return of the crisp, beautiful pre-winter skies is truly a welcome sight. I must say, this glorious Creation reminds me every day how awesome my God is and how majestic His works are. All too often, it's easy to take for granted things like good weather, relatively clean air, and all the wonders the Earth has to offer. I just pray that we never forget who we owe all of this glorious creation to: our Lord and Savior, who loves us unconditionally and will never, ever forsake us.

I can't wait for next week to be halfway over. Exams will be finished, and I'll be going home to my family! :) I miss them like crazy, and it hurts me to be away from them for so long. Next Wednesday cannot come quickly enough. For that matter, neither can Christmas. Hey, who says we can't all be kids at heart this time of year?

That's about all for now, folks. Until next time, keep an eye to the sky, live long and prosper, and dance like there's no tomorrow. Of course, you didn't hear that from me. ::trips over my feet::
