Mo the Musician!
Over the last few weeks I have been spending more time in the labs than anywhere else...which is sorta sad. I can literally see the light of life (no matter how gloomy/bright it may be) at the end of this loooooooong 4 year degree. But in order to get my degree I, of course, need to submit a dissertation report on a research project of my choice.
All I want to do is sleep/watch tv/read books/go shopping for more books and dvds/travel/sleep/EAT/be a social media fiend without feeling all too guilty. But I cannot do that just yet.What I can do, however, is find things that make me happy, smile and ensure that I am in a good mood in the meantime. This is such a thing:
When I listen to Mary Mary's song - Sitting With Me from their Something Big album, I get so empowered that I drop everything I am doing and reach for nearest microphone-esque object within my reach and pretend as though I am some world renowned gospel singer. I get on such a high I feel that I can do anything. If my experiments go poof I do not cry or sulk or feel down. No. I put on this song and I feel like superwoman and turn that horrendous result into something amazing :D
I thought it was so bizarre that this song had such an effect on me. I decided to test this hypothesis. I signed into my last.fm account and tuned into my Mary Mary radio station. Oh! My! Days! I was typing away like mad. All the gospel songs that floated through my ears into my entire being lit some flame within me called- concentration and serenity. I asked Fi, a dear friend of mine, if I was slowly losing it and she assured me that I wasn't.
Let's just say that for the next two weeks, I am going to be the next Mary Mary and Yolanda Adams as I give my dissertation the best of me. And after that, I shall leave the singing to the professionals and listen to their songs instead.
I am so glad the lab is empty :D
It is amazing how God can use several different mediums to speak to you. If only the bible was sung to me...
Hey! One can dream ;-)
I'm pretty sure if I sang the bible I would definitely miss the lessons...or will I?
Till next time!
Luv, Mo xx
