Early Reflections

well, here i am, sitting warm and snug in my cousins room in seward, nebraska. its been a blizzard out for the last two days, we've been getting some drifts up to 3 or more feet! we were scheduled to leave for home tomorrow morning, but seeing as this snow and wind hasn't given us any respite, i'm not so sure that will be happening. it's a safe feeling, though, being snowed in on christmas night with the family. 

i know it's not quite new years yet, and as aunt rebecca would say "you've still got 6 whole days of headlines!" but i feel very contemplative at the moment (much credit i'm sure i can give to you, kara!). when we return home i'll start digging through the endless piles of stuff from my life- high heels covered with goose poop from sophomore homecoming, hello kitty stickers from my 6th grade birthday party, my old adventures in odyssey bible, and much, much more. it will be a journey, i'm sure, to relive all my memories as i decide to throw, sell, or keep everything i own. but i'm looking forward to it, seeing as i've always wanted a real excuse to go through everything and purge.

another thing that's been on my mind is next semester. it will be a semester of new beginnings... i'll be living in a new building with a new roommate and new people. i will be in charge of a whole floor of girls and will be responsible for much more than i am now. classes will be long and trying (23 hours in class each week) and my schedule will be jumbled up to a slush of 8 am classes and 2 am rounds. so, i'm very much looking forward to all the change, but also dreading it in the way of being scared for hard things, as well as being out of the comfort i have finally been able to cozy into this last semester. 

GOD has blessed me SO much this year, it's hard to believe it's coming to an end! i look back on this last year with many fond memories- finally fitting in with 7th S girls, working with teenserve, florida with the navs, vacation to the grand canyon and las vegas with my family, finishing off my 3rd semester of college... and some trying memories, but ones that if i have not already seen god's perfect plans and timing, i'm sure that will be revealed soon! god is so GOOD!

Happy Holidays!

I'll be home for christmas in just over 24 hours! How exciting! Now I just have one last final to get through and I'm home free for a whole month! Woop! But then again, maybe I should stop procrastinating my studying, by doing EVERYTHING besides it! Like...

writing in my blog, rearranging my room, facebook, packing boxes (multiple times), checking e-mail, walking across the hall and talking to friends, facebook, taking a nap, checking e-mail, facebook, going to the drinking fountain, writing this list, facebook. ok, i think you get the picture!

Happy Finals!!! I mean, Holidays!

:)

SNOWy DAY

Today we had a SNOW DAY!!! WOOO! Which basically NEVER happens in university. Soooo i spent it the way any other normal college student would- watching pirates of the caribbean 2 and mass amounts of Lost episodes. ohhhh yeahhh! and i vacuumed and cleaned out the fridge- both of which were desperately needed!

Another great thing about today... I found out I get to room with my friend Becky for next semester! So that was exciting news. I started packing today and will be moving over to Murray in a week... next Thursday.

And to end the exciting day, I think I'll be heading to bed a little earlier than usual, like in the next half an hour. *GASP!* I know! But hey! A little extra sleep never hurt anyone!

Resident Assistant

I'm gonna be an RA in Murray Hall for the Spring of 2010! Praise God. I wonder what he has planned for me over in Murray?? Only time will tell... So let's get started!

....

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

My humble abode!

So I thought that for those of you who have not seen where I live (aka Rebecca), I would put up some pictures of my room... hope you enjoy!

UPDATE! :D

QUICK UPDATE: just for you caring relatives who will be wondering. :)
my interview went well... nothing extremely good or extremely bad. i think i really aced some of the questions as well as the prepared presentation we had to give, but there were also some unexpected questions that tripped me up a little. soooo we shall see. it feels so good to have it over with and now its all up to God! so im pretty much not expecting anything, and if i get the position, yippee!! :) im going against some tough competition! so just be praying that i can rejoice with those who rejoice whoever gets the positions and that if that happens to me i can be humble. thanks bunches!
