| So, today is a relaxing day...I slept in late, made some coffee, watched some TV episodes online and talked with ppl. I should probably do something productive. I like life now. I know ppl back home are probably bummed, but I am happy homecoming was postponed. I was supposed to be on a choir retreat this weekend, but it was also postponed due to the weather, so hopefully they won't be rescheduled for the same weekends that way I can come down for homecoming...that'd be nice! I feel like my heart is really healthy (Emotionally speaking). I have nothing else interesting on my mind to type out. Have a great weekend and enjoy the cold weather! | | |
| A part of me is ready to go back to JBU another part definitely wishes I could stay here...I feel like I'm leaving for the first time all over again...maybe it's because I have all new classes this semester and some crazy choir stuff which i'm excited but nervous about. I like people, but sometimes I clam up when I'm in an unfamiliar environment.
This break has been so much fun!! I've been able to hang out with a lot of my friends and made lots of memories.
My soul has been treading in deep waters...not a bad thing, but it can make a girl feel a little crazy sometimes thinking about life so much. Jenny and I have discovered at this point in time it's much easier to focus on the future instead of the present...probably not healthy.
New Years Resolutions?? Didn't make them...I know I break them...what's the point? So I've made some goals...lose weight/be healthier, be friendlier, make myself look prettier for school (I look better when I come home than at school), get to know God better and at a deeper level, study in the library more that way I get done with homework faster and to sleep sooner. That's about it.
Sorry, I haven't been making any funny posts, just really matter of fact boring stuff...maybe i'll make it more interesting when I'm procrastinating at school.
If you want to read a book, read Blue Like Jazz, but only if you are mature in your walk with the Lord to think outside the box and have your opinions challenged. Thank you Josh Coad. | | |
| Last night I went to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Concert...it was amazing! Very entertaining. The light show was spectaclar. I think my parents felt a little youner afterwards because of all the incorporated 'rock'. I found it weird that a guy next to my dad was drinking his beer and cheering like he was at a football game, but hey, way to be enthusiastic. Another oberservation...I saw plenty of women trying to look 'sexy', but made themselves look trashy. It made me sad. A woman can be beautiful, while still being modest and respectable. I want to go to concerts in general, I've never really been to many.
My room right now is a disaster. It's weird feeling like a 'guest' in a since, but my room is till very much my room, things are just divided between here and college. It's wonderful to be home around my deepest friends. Oh, how I love them!
I don't think I have anything too interesting to discuss anymore...
I hope to read at least one book for pleasure over the break. I know I always say that...maybe this time I'll really buckle down and read.
Good luck to all the Bethesdians finishing up exams! | | |
| For My Dearest JuliaMy parents just left, and I am about to take Grace to the airport in an hour and a half. I'm sad that they are leaving, but I just have to get through my exams this week and then I get to be home! You're probably wondering why they are up here... On Thursday the choir candlelight services started and they decided to come up here to experience it Saturday night. I am honored to be apart of it. The decorations, the candles, and the stain glass windows just...ahhh...it's gorgeous!! I almost cried every night at different points just because of the beauty and the worshipful atmosphere, being able to sing praises to our God.
If you think about it, keep my grades in your prayers. I took on too many hard courses for my first semester...chem and lab, cell bio and lab, honors psych., honors composition, choir, and a required freshman class. So, I am worried about being put on probation with my scholarship and that can only happen once before they revoke the scholarship. Just pray I do well on my exams and don't fall below where my GPA needs to be...I think I'm pretty borderline. Next semester should be better.
I love Christmas time. I don't really want a lot of 'stuff' I just want to be with ppl...and I'm not trying to be cheesy, I seriously mean it! There are a lot of cds I want, and I always want books too, but I never make myself make time to read for pleasure. =(
I miss the Chadwicks, Mrs. Faulk, Mr. Parish, Mrs. Phifer, Mrs. Amyett and Dr. Polman's amazing humor.
So, I'm trying to come up with an elaborate plan for me to stay in Europe from June to December next year. I might get terribly homesick...it'd be such an experience though!
Enjoy the season! Be thankful! I love you all! | | |
| Totally Procrastinating...So, I have two big papers due tomorrow and I'm writing on xanga...I'm starting to remember why I quit this thing =)
Oh well! I went and stayed at a monastery this weekend. Yes, it was an interesting experience. I will write more about my thoughts and possibly post some amazing pictures I took while there. Monks are interesting, fun/funny, informative, and respectable. I really enjoyed getting to know Brother Mel and hear Abbot Jerome speak on the importance of prayer in life. Suprisingly, Mary or the saints weren't really mentioned in any of the services I attended. They continually acknowledged the Trinity. This weekend was the first time I had ever attended a mass or vespers service. It's nice to be able to experience and formulate my own opinion. More to come later. Now, I have to stick to writing my English and Psychology papers. | | |
