| | hello again. it's been quite a long while since i wrote anything here. i've of course been reading your blogs (oh friends of mine), but haven't been writing myself. here's a bit of an update on me for those who may not have heard the latest:
much has happened since my last entry, like me writing that Oral Interp piece/speech about Warren and performing it, the "lobby crew" having our usual Philosopher's Ball festivities, finals week- including my last donrags- and the end of the semester, Torrey Graduation, Biola Graduation- the cap, the gown, the walking across the stage to get our diplomas-the whole deal, two grad parties, and moving back into my old room at home. Now I'm mostly just trying to take it easy for a short while, catch up with old friends from home, and clean and rearrange my room to make it reflect the me I am now more than the me I was in high school and jr. high.
I've also been reading some fun books, including Peter Pan by myself (which i'm really enjoying and am sad that I shall finish soon), and the last two from the Harry Potter series aloud to my sis. Sarah was so bored by the fifth book that she gave up on the series and has required a concerted effort on my part of pleading and cajoling to get her to agree to even listen to the last two being read aloud. The sixth book took forever for us to get through, but now we're really flying through the seventh one because she's more engaged in the story and, for the most part, less annoyed with the characters.  at last! by the way, that Harry Potter series is just amazing. I am constantly impressed by the scope and quality of J.K. Rowling's writing. Sometimes Sarah and I just pause in our reading as we admire some of her beautifully crafted sentences. 
I confess I've spent one whole day watching TV and movies, which is almost obligatory for a proper vacation, right? but it was pretty mind-numbing, except when the Karate Kid 2 came on, so I think I prefer to relax by doing something a little more stimulating and interesting. i've slept in very late a few mornings, which has also been kinda fun but will not become a habit. i prefer to get up and do things with my day. So, the past two weeks have largely been spent hanging out and catching up with good friends I haven't seen in a while. That has been quite enjoyable. I'm so grateful that I still have some really great friends here with whom I can just pick up where we left off. One girl even wants to meet regularly to discuss theological issues and questions, and to keep each other accountable to pursuing God and a life worthy of our Lord. Praise the Lord! I'm still trying to figure out where to go to church now, though for the time being I am back at my "home church" from before. I miss my church in Whittier already, but I want to go where God leads me and I think it's important to try to attend church locally so that I can be involved in more than just sunday attendance and can really be a contributing part of the community. We'll see where the Lord leads... and in August I'll also see where He leads me to a job...
that's all for now. Blessings!
