The Adventure Called Life Day 226...where the lines overlap...

this is my last official full day on campus. I move out tomorrow afternoon. The only things left are my Chemistry Exam, packing and finalizing the choral library. 

this means its my last night on campus :( Im excited to go home, unpack and SLEEP.

I am forcing myself to go grab lunch, and review for about 40 mins before my final at 1pm. Then my parents are coming to pick up the sectional. I hope to give a lot of stuff to my parents to take home and pile in my room until I get there tomorrow. I'll spend the evening reorganizing and putting everything in its place before we go racing on saturday! oh! I'm excited for that...

anyway, I pray all of you SAU students are experiencing a peaceful finals week, at least as peaceful as finals week can be! I have had a wonderful time here at the arbor this past year, and I'm excited to be reporting, once again from the road this summer. I'll post before I leave tomorrow to officially sign off from the campus of SAU for the semester! the Lord be with you!

The Adventure Called Life Day 225...between a rock and a hard place...

so. i've got two days, one night left on campus. my parents are coming tomorrow to pick up the black leather sectional in our living room, and im supposed to have everything packed and ready by then. My brother has a softball game that night, and I would like to be there to see him play. I'm only going to be home for two weeks. I'm still considering sticking around until friday. It would be nice to spend an evening with Zachariah in which we didn't have to study. We're both done with exams tomorrow :) He does have a song writing paper to write, but I could just write myself while he does that. We could spend a cozy evening in the library, writing away...*sigh* but I should go home. really, my little brother would love that. I just hope I can get the choral library in order before then...i have LOTS to do today. study chemistry, make a veggie tray, pack, and finish up the choral library. I am thinking I should just stay and do the choral library on friday. I can see Kevin play next week. I'm so glad you guys get to experience my thoughts and how I just go around and around in circles. lol...I'll make it home for dinner on friday. so that's the plan.

today, study for chemistry, make veggie tray for WAVE. tomorrow, exam, pack, study, study, study, exam, pack up the couch, dinner, finish packing. friday, choral library, turn in keys, go home :)

The Adventure Called LIfe Day 222...surprise...

today i drove to South Lyon after River Tree and the lunch we were invited to. Andy's parents had us all over for steak and potatoes to thank us for our time and sacrifice for River Tree. I hope someday to repay them for all the work and the blessing they have been in my life.

Mom wasn't surprised. at all. turns out that she overheard me on the phone with dad. I'm really loud. BIG surprise. lol.

well the good news is that im done with my final video! YAY. also, I just have to draw up the storyboard and im completely done with VID 202. awesome. Chemistry is also done except for the final exam on thursday. I have a CMI 344 paper to write, but other than those few things, only organizing the choral library and packing stand in my way to get out of SAU for two weeks.

time to draw up a story board and get some work done on my CMI assignment. *sigh* almost done

The Adventure Called Life Day 217...hard day's night...

ugh. double ugh. life is truly great right now, i just feel exhausted. its been a hard day's night. ugh.

well, Zachariah and I are doing well. He's stressed out, and so am i. I guess we're just like two little peas in a pod. how delightful. lol...

anyway, Its late, this post is going up late, but i don't really care. Our choir concert went well. thats something to smile about :) I feel bad, we forgot to get Dr. Livesay a gift and also Renee something. We'll have to remedy that for the banquet which is on monday. I'm super excited, I get to wear a pretty dress and go with Zachariah. that will be fun.

I'm singing in lab on friday. I'm going to keep listening to some recordings of the song, hopefully get the rhythm of the second half down better. I practice with Susanna tomorrow afternoon.

well, goodnight. i have to be up early to print off my paper before chem lecture tomorrow. also, really thinking about not going to chapel..im such a heathen. yeah, right!

The Adventure Called Life Day 216...getting ahead...

whoa. back up.

getting ahead?

did i read that right?

oh yes :) welcome to the last week of the semester. and because Jesus is awesome. I am now ahead. I have two papers done. That means I can start on my last paper due this week tomorrow. Edit the two papers I wrote today, and turn them in all polished and nice on Wednesday. Then I can finish shooting my video and begin editing my video on Wednesday. I'll finish the paper I started on tuesday on thursday, turn it in on friday and use friday for a final video day. This officially rocks. Thanks Jesus, you're awesome. I haven't been getting enough sleep, I know its only His strength that has brought me through.

it also helps I have someone so amazing by my side. Zachariah is a great boyfriend. He is wonderful, loving, compassionate, and he is a hard worker, just like yours truly.

well, looks like I can relax a little bit before bed. awesome.

PRAISE THE LORD!

The Adventure Called Life Day 197...study, nap, study, repeat...

Its that time of the semester yet again. crunch time. this is when push comes to shove and you realize who your true friends are. Whether you actually spend time with them doesn't mean anything. Its usually if you miss them a whole lot, then you realize you truly love them. I miss Marc and kyle and Callie, e and b. I miss hanging out with them! They are super cool peeps. Also I miss my roommates! I hardly ever see them. I guess I didn't think being in a relationship would completely compromise all my time.

yet part of me doesn't mind one bit. I still need to nurture those relationships. I deeply care about my friends. I pray for them daily and I want to keep in touch with them, but I also know they are really busy too :)

I am so incredibly happy. I am so *sigh* living in a dream! Someone pinch me! Zach looks at me like I'm the most beautiful thing in the world. Its very overwhelming. I just hope he is beginning to understand how much he means to me and how much I care for him. Its officially been a week. I've got to SLOW DOWN. I've got to just stop and smell the roses for a while. I've got two more years here, there is no rush. none at all. Besides I'm going to be an RA next year! EEP!

I interviewed Casey Mellinger for that yesterday. For PSY 110 I have to write a mentoring session reflection paper. I'm excited to start that tonight. As soon as I'm done with this post I'm going to start writing it :) For some reason, I've been able to get a head start on all my homework. its such a blessing! I just pray that I don't fall behind! That would be terrible.

so. I'm asking that you keep praying for my relationship with Christ. As Paul says, that I would continue to work out my salvation with fear and trembling. I also would covet your prayers regarding Zachariah. Our relationship is so beautiful. Its truly remarkable how great friends we are, and how much I care for him :) also, keep my friends in your prayers. I love them so much. I would be nothing without them!
