Keep on keepin' on

One month until camp. Research Writing is ruling my life.

And they're off....

These crazy Southern peeps had their last day of school yesterday. Walla Walla still has a little over a month left. And while I'm sick and tired of school I've enjoyed this year so much that I almost don't want it to end. It's sad to think that none of us roommates are ever going to live together again, and everyone is going their separate ways. Walla Walla will never hold this same group of people ever again. Yesterday I was jealous of my Southern friends, hanging out...drinking Sweet Tea... wishing that I could feel that freedom...but now I realize I'm just not ready to let go yet. Maybe give it a couple weeks, I'll probably be singing a different tune. But until then...CONGRATULATIONS my friends! I've still got work to do.

Overload

Thoughts for today:

1. Finals stress me out
2. I miss my mom (She's on an island in the S. Pacific doing mission work)
3. "Low" by Flo-rida.....is a good stress reliever song..."boots with the fuuurr!"
4. Libraries are depressing
5. I love the Sunshine
6. Do I really want to be at Walla Walla next year?
7. I really want a soy chai to sip on
8. I only have a week and a couple days until I see my friends at Southern!
9. My teacher talked about her constipated dog "Charlie" again today....funny funny
10. I think it's someones birthday today...but I can't remember whose....
11. I'm working late tonight, how am I going to study?
12. When does that fire for Christ come back?
13. Have I eaten since breakfast?


That's enough for today....

Live an Extraordinary Life

Feeling Fortunate

This blog has become somewhat of a scrapbook for me. I can't wait to look back a year from now and see the things that I was doing and thinking in 2008. However, there's something that I haven't really blogged about yet, and if this is going to be a proper representation of my year I'm thinkin I better make record of it. A good portion of my time spent here in Walla Walla is with 2 amazing girls, that just so happen to be my roommates. We call them Emily and Alex. The three of us have formed somewhat of a support group, and I feel so fortunate to be a part of it. I firmly believe that God has put them in my life this year for a reason. I can't imagine what my year would have been like without their sillyness.

When I look back on this year some of my fondest memories are probably going to include the countless nights that the three of us spent sleeping in my queen size bed. With many of those nights consisting of beating up Emily when she was spreading out too much in the middle, just to be annoying. (She complains about being in the middle but when we say she can switch see says, "no guys, this is my place").


It's very rare, or maybe even unheard of, that you find roommates that you don't fight with at least a little bit. Let alone connect with so well. These two women are so amazing and are incredibly important to me. If you don't know them...you probably should. Let me introduce you....
