let’s see… i’m taking an extra-heavy load with 40+ pages due at the end of the quarter, i’ve applied to grad school, my major is finally (!!!!) declared, and i spent a weekend with my fox. can i take a few months off now?
noe is having to withdraw this quarter. waaaaaah!!!
i am incredibly depressed today as well as sick. i didn’t sleep well last night because i was coughing and a whole lot of stress hit me today. if you pray, please pray for me.
well… i got into my senior seminar… praise God!!! now if scs would give me my phone service back and if my bronchitis would pick up and leave me… steve has his page back up. woooo hoooooo!!!!
oh boy… where do i start in describing my winter break?
i worked at barnes and noble for two weeks which was fun though really tiring. retail at christmas is just nightmarish because you deal with so many people and so much merchandise. i ended up getting really sick twice — the second day i was back (which i am not going to talk about since it was both mortifying for me as well as disgusting) and the last day when i was having severe asthma problems. they diagnosed me with pleurisy (inflammation of the lungs).
i went to montana with ma famille and ma fiancée (yes… i know my french is atrocious) and that was wonderful. i got to see my extended family again and i got to play with my little cousins.
then, i left for urbana. urbana was so intense and amazing that it requires a page of its own. i’ll post it when i get a chance. i came back with bronchitis (which was mild considering that others came back with bad fevers and stuff).
i’m back at school now and doing classes again.
well… i’m out of here in a few hours. this means no more updates until january since i’ll be home and i can’t take my computer with me. i’ll probably (God willing) be working at barnes and noble over the break and visiting relatives in montana before flying to illinois for urbana. so… merry christmas/happy hannukah/happy solstice to everyone and to all a good night
i am finally done!!!!!!!!!!!
i was reflecting on last week’s caroling this morning and i remembered that some of us had been singing “this little light of mine” as we were walking through porter. it’s really interesting that we were singing it then because porter is one of the most “dark” colleges on campus. we actually have people from there in the fellowship this year (praise God!) but there is still a very anti-christian sentiment there. we did a few songs there since they seem to like us or at least think we’re amusing. the words “this little light of mine/ i’m gonna let it shine/let it shine,let it shine, let it shine!!!” probably would have gotten us jumped had it been any other time but somehow they let us do it under the guise of our christmas caroling. very interesting…
yesterday at church, don played two john michael talbot/michael card songs during communion. i have to say… it was perfect timing after his sermon on how Jesus suffered. he played “come to the table” and “advent suite” (since yesterday was the first sunday of advent). i got both off of napster when i got home and i think i am now addicted to john michael talbot. the guy has an *amazing* testimony and i was completely blown away when i read it.
ok… one final today and one a day for the next two days. i think i can manage that. 🙂
