| | Let's be honest. I pretty much gave up on online blogging. I don't have a good reason, nor did I have a good alternative but having been recently inspired by a friend's blog, its time to have a ressurection. Since the last post, I have successfully navigated through my first year at UCLA and have managed to stay head above water for 2/3 of my last year here. I now live in an AMAZING apartment that i'm pretty sure I'll end up crying over when we are forced to move out, I have/had four great roommates this year who i'm pretty sure have changed my life, Rick and I are still together, and we now have the new addition of a puppy named Nick. Life moves SO quickly. I remember as a kid thinking "when I'm 21..." assuming that it was SO FAR OFF, and yet, it is here and about to pass. I also remember thinking that when someone graduates college that it automatically means they know what their life is about. Wrong. In fact, that is the topic that plagues my thoughts just about everyday. I am praying that God can slow down time, at least for a little while, and help clarify what the heck I am supposed to do in this crazy-hard-beautiful adventure. Graduation is in a month and a half, and any semblance of a concrete plan changes from day to day. I guess I am just a big ball of questions. At any rate, my goals for this next year are to love people, love myself, make some sort of difference, not neglect feeding or walking my dog, appreciate my partner, apply/get into grad school, spend time with friends, and love jesus. I think that's a good plan, at least for today anyway. to be continued... |
