ON YOUR WINGS

-Iron and Wine

God, there is gold hidden deep in the ground.
God, there's a hangman that wants to come around.
How we rise when we're born like the ravens in the corn
On your wings on our knees
We crawl careless from the sea.

God, give us love in the time that we have.

God, there are guns growing out of our bones.
God, every road takes us farther from home.
All these men that you made, how we wither in the shade
On your trees, on your wings
we are carried to the sea.

God, give us love in the time that we have.


It's the end of the second week here in Tallahassee and I've already fallen into a groove, which is pretty nice considering everything. I'm so glad to be here free from the problems I was having over summer. I feel bad for the rest of my family for having to put up with all that stuff still, and I know I'll have to return to it sooner or later but for now it's nice to be able to chill out. I'm liking most of my classes so far - all except Interviewing which is a required class I'm taking to fulfill an oral competancy credit... other than that everything is really interesting. I'm loving Family Relationships and Social Psychology and I'm getting a lot better at German (Ja Ich spreche Deutsch gern und jetzt bin Ich ein bisschen gut). I'm liking geography for the sheer fact that I have a really interesting professor and I know a couple of people in there, so it's pretty cool.

I'm letting the girl situation just kind of flow right now, as I think that's the best route of action (as opposed to actively pursuing it). I've realized that it's not something that is high on my priority list right now. I'm not rushing into anything I'll regret, and I wish people would stop pushing me to get something going. However I will say that there are a couple of girls out there that are really cool, but again I'm not pushing anything right now...

I know I haven't updated in a long time, and I'll start getting back into an LJ groove again pretty soon. I'll probably get back to my usual format of fitting lyrics and then a little something about what's going on (much like today).
