Well, hello!
I was looking through some old journals in search of a particular entry when it dawned on me that it was a blog post and not a journal entry. That is when I realized that I had only one post for the whole year so far and it was from January 1st! And that, friends, is disappointing!
Well, this one is for Lawrence and Ellen Friesen! :) Probably my only 2 readers left!
Here's a little update to what's happened since January 1st in no particular order of date or importance:
I started back to college. In my first semester I did something I've never done before (besides rapping in front of my health class about gonorrhea). I got really good grades! In fact, I had a 100% or higher in 4 out of 5 classes!
 |
| Well thank you Mr. Dean! |
I made stuff! Including:
 |
| A bag from a tshirt that I also designed using bleach and scotch tape. |
 |
| Not too shabby for an amateur decorator! |
 |
| Took these pictures and created this for my momma for mother's day. |
Spent time with friends:
 |
| Love these ladies. |
 |
| Caught a T-bones game and plan to see a few more! |
 |
| Hosted a clothing swap. Hence the varieties of clothing represented. Don't worry, she doesn't wear this in public! |
I've been babysitting, pet sitting, house sitting, plant sitting pretty much non stop this year and I plan to continue that as the fall semester starts up!
Speaking of fall semester... It's quickly approaching. I will be moving on campus next month and have mixed feelings about it. The idea has led me from feeling excitement, to nervousness, to loathing, and back again. CBC has pretty strict lifestyle rules which will be a change (no movie theaters, no hand holding with boys, no drinking, no dancing, no secular music, no smoking! Okay, I admit a couple of those won't really be a problem for me!). I think it's just going from being an adult who makes her own decisions to being under the restrictions of someone else' guidelines, it's... well, restricting! A talk that we had in TREK about 'relinquishing our rights' keeps coming into mind. It's just for a time. It's not like their asking for my first-born child. But let's be honest, how am I ever supposed to have children if they won't even let me hold hands with peoples of the opposite sex. ;)
Also, pride. Ugh. I know that I'm not old by any means... but I kind of am... for a college campus. I think I'm just prideful in thinking that I'm somehow beyond the other students there because I have a few years on them. But, man, pride is ugly. And sinful. And it sure won't help me make any new friends at school. Still learning to work through that. This is a lesson that God has been teaching me for quite some time now. Some lessons just take longer!
So... do you feel like you have more insight into my average life? I do! Blogging is therapeutic... Thank you for reading and allowing me this outlet for some meditation. I do hope to be better in the future. I don't want it to be another nearly 8 months before I blog again. As it was I was sweating bullets that I'd even be able to remember my password to access the blog! :) I'm babbling. It's because I'm tired. On that note...
Until next time!
