Um, with me it depends on my mood. I'm the worst after I've been studying a long time. See, one of my recuperation techniques after a tough school week is to head out to the mall and submerge myself in a sea of humanity, just to remind myself that life goes on beyond all the school work. And if it's been an
especially bad week, I think to myself, "OK, self, you like it, you have money, and if the next few weeks are as bad as this one was, you won't have the time to get out to shop for a while. So might as well go ahead and buy it now."
Thankfully, I usually really do like whatever I end up with. And if I don't, there are these wonderful thing called "returns."
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
More than I should, really. It is a big stumbling block for me, financially. But I'm fighting it. I can (relatively) control it these days.
