| I thought it was about time for an update on my life due to numerous requests 
Classes this semester - pretty good, you know, nothing special. Actually I despise one of them, but the rest are good. I just realized that after this semester I will have 117 credits. Dang.
Sarah just had brain surgery so that's been kinda the craziness as of late - never had a close friend go through something like that, so it's been rough but amazing to see her recovery Wow. (don't worry, she'll be fine - she's already her fun cute self).
South quad, ministry, God - all good - as usual - we had our womens retreat this past weekend which was a fun time to get to know some of the girls better. And this weekend I'll be out of town too - in GR yaaaaaay. Spring break was also fabulous - I'm sporting a lovely tan, for now...
Let's see, that's prolly about it - although I shouldn't fail to mention the somewhat new presence of a certain boy... 
The following is stolen from Jen Fongers in order to aid me in my procrastination.
1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says: "woman may long for the "chaos" of a family, she must not"... huh 2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first? chopsticks from Tokyo  3: What is the last thing you watched on TV? umm Friends last night 4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what time it is: 1:02 pm 5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time? 1:04 pm 6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? "Breaker breaker 1 9 she's a big old flirt..." COUNTRY 7: When did you last step outside? 12:30 when i came back from office hours 8: Before you came to this website, what did you look at? My email 9: What are you wearing? my pink scrub pants and a white shirt 10: Did you dream last night? If so what was it? yes.... long story  11: When did you last laugh? with amanda on the way home from the hospital about our stellar house next year... so around 11:30 12: What is on the walls of the room you are in? pictures, verses, a calendar, etc 13: Seen anything weird lately? umm not really 14: What do you think of this quiz? well i'm bored and its wasting time 15: What is the last film you saw? one fine day? 16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first? a house with hardwood floors. 17: Tell me something about you that I don't know: umm... 18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do? we'll just say it would involve a really big church and the end of times 19: Do you like to dance? like to yes, good at... not so much 20: George Bush: W and I are tight 21: Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? ALAINA. or samantha. 21: Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him? adam, ryan, or josh or something 22: Would you ever consider living abroad? always. especially if it involved a villa and the mediterranean.
i am ridiculous. | | |
| Welp friends, I'm home from an awesome Christmas Conference. For real. It's always sweet Bethie and Renee came, and got to meet many of my college friends, see me wrestle with Mitch (and LOSE), and the funniest comment of the weekend "you and Jeremy play off of each other like nobody I've ever seen before" hahaha.
New Years Eve was stellar, only to be followed by a bittersweet Rose Bowl - we played pretty well, Braylon was quite on fire, but we just could not outplay Texas' stupid quarterback. Those last two seconds were like being stabbed - defeat again. Ahhhhh well. Anyway after many sleep deprived nights in Indy I slept for 13 straight hours last night - so refreshing But of course that meant sleeping through church... woops. But I went to Mars Hill with Deb and Teri at night.
Well that's all, probably won't update again until the boredom of summer sets in, or until I feel the need to procrastinate and facebook/away messages/email just aren't enough. 
God Bless and Happy New Year! (and Go Blue!) | | |

| Well kids, I'm back in G-Rap and you know what that means... there's not much to do except update my xanga 
It's snowing here - wooooohoo, that made the trip home extra special. Ohh the traffic and the low visibility. But like the first thing Debster and I did was go tanning and rent a movie, haha.
So my cell phone broke a few days ago, and all I could do was see when people were calling - the speaker was broken so I couldn't hear them or talk to them. SO good old Blaine and Tone found this out and called my like 17 times this afternoon because they knew I would flip out and try and call back and feel bad that I couldn't answer their phone calls. Abusing my friendliness, that's what they did. Well boys, my phone is back in action so DON'T mess with me As they found out when they both called back earlier this evening.
Well that's all. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving - yay! Then Friday I'm braving the masses to shop. Wooohoo. Welp Happy Thanksgiving folks, enjoy it! | | |
