March

So far, March has been crazy and super busy!
It started with Spring Break. Working at the Spaghetti Dinner and babysitting, along with hanging out with my friends.
Got back to school on Sunday night. This week has gone really fast and it's been great to see everybody back here after having a week off (I wasn't so excited to come back at first.)
A lot of drama came about this week but I've realized that God is faithful throughout and we just have to remember that and pray.
I went to the beach yesterday with some friends and we hung out on the pier. Good time.
I'm doing a bracket for NCAA March Madness and I am really enjoying it. Not doing so hot but that is just fine, it's still fun.
Ran a mile this week and it was really difficult, I need to work my way up but I kind of liked it.
My mind is so scattered and I need to start a paper.

Home.

It's so good to be home.
Spring Break 2010 is finally here and I am stoked!
I got picked up Friday afternoon and then got to spend some time with some family friends and my dad and sister.
Yesterday I was at church for almost ten hours. Meeting for South Africa and then Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser. It was a great time and very successful. It's amazing how much work some people put into that dinner, all of the volunteers were awesome. I got to be a cheese grater in the Venetian room, I was pretty excited about that part.
My sister Brittney and I slept over at our friends' house and then went to church this morning.
Off to the high school youth group, 24/7 tonight.
It's fun to see everybody.

Mondays

There is a huge stereotype that goes along with the word Monday. You know how everybody dreads this day of the week and calls it 'the worst day' of them all? Normally people hate this day; it's the beginning of the week and we are all bouncing back from our relaxing and eventful weekends. Today's definitely a stereotypical Monday for me.

I had quite an eventful weekend filled with a hip-hop showcase, unnecessary drama, Disney movies, friends, Collegelife, church and procrastination; thinking about doing a lot of homework but never actually getting it done. This type of thing happens quite often but I do end up getting everything done, it just happens at the last minute. I have some great friends here at North Park and I am so thankful for them. I attended Deergrove Covenant Church once again and I have decided to start goinging pretty regularly, I like it a lot. There is a couple that makes dinner for North Park students every Sunday night (there is no ARA) and that was pretty cool to go to, what a wonderful ministry. Collegelife was really great last night. There was an open-mic and people just went up one right after another and read bible verses for the whole time; really powerful.

Naps are something that I have learned about in college. I have a hard time calming down and actually taking a nap but they are wonderful. Today I experienced that wonderful thing after I took my Spanish test.

Spring Break is coming up and I can't wait!! I always thought it would be really easy to be away from home and I'd be having too much fun at college to even want to go home. It will be good to hang out with my family and have a little break from everyone and everything here. I'm sure I will be somewhat bored and ready to come back but the time away will be good. I've realized that living with people is a difficult thing and I need to balance my time with different people a little bit better; I can't hang out with the same person or people too much or it turns bad. Friends do make a day so much better though.

On the way to lunch today we found a giant spool...I really wanted to steal it and take it for my room but my roomate didn't like that idea very much. Anyways, here is a picture of it!
