The Adventure Called Life Day 364...paper...

I think I am going to not get everything done in the next two days. That scares me. A LOT. I have no idea how to go about writing this paper for Spiritual Formation, and I also have to memorize my passage for WAVE still. I know it, but I don't KNOW it well enough to stop looking at the cards. maybe if I breathe and let myself sleep on it. Then I will try again tomorrow. All I can do is try. *breathe* I can do it! GOD can do it!

I have an idea. memorize the verses. sleep. write the paper in the morning, all day, edit it after prop shop, and go to sleep. WIN.

The Adventure Called LIfe Day 355...arbor games prep...

tonight we made preparations for arbor games. Painting, dancing, cutting music...so much fun. And the three RA's were left. that's it in the end. Now its time to do homework. Not my favorite thing at all to do. That's okay, I am reading this really dry book for Spiritual formation. I am getting really mad at it actually. Something tells me I may have a headache at the end of this endeavor.

The Adventure Called Life Day 181...back at it...

well off to the music building for some writing. i have to have a song written for my worship leading small group. hopefully I can show them it tomorrow after my final cut tutorial. ugh. i hate scheduling things over other things...

till then,

The Adventure Called Life Day 157...homework party...

as weird and geeky as it may sound, i've missed these! homework parties are the bomb. quite literally. hanging out with some freshies and sophomores studying before we go to bible study, just seems so typical "spring arbor" and i've missed it. i've missed the community. thats why i've requested to be an RA on a community floor. I want to be an RA so bad! well, i need to get studying for chemistry before we go to Clark's bible study. I just wanted to say that i've missed this. i need to do this more often...

The Adventure Called Life Day 110...everybody's workin' for the weekend...

happy friday everyone! the weekend is here! and its a three day weekend at that! YAY!

well I have a hot date...with the laundry room, ah, at least it smells nice. I have lots to get done tonight, I just wanted to quickly post something that God has been showing me today...

today at 3:30 Mitch, Hannah and I all met in the Lowell Prayer Chapel to pray for River Tree and our campus. I am so excited about this. I LOVE things like this. I'm excited to see where God takes us in this, and how he answers our prayers. God has been faithful. I got up the courage to get this meeting in order, and it worked! And God showed up. I know he did. Mitch was exhausted though. I felt bad. I can't really do anything to help him, except to pray... I don't have any brownies or anything to bake in the house. I guess I could make Heather's cup cakes and bring him two of them. I'm sure she wouldn't mind. maybe I'll do that...we'll see...

well, time to make dinner, and then switch over my laundry so I can have clean clothes. Drumline tomorrow bright and early at 11am, I'm singing the national anthem for both basketball games on saturday. wish me luck. until next time

Lord,
I need help. I need your guidance. I feel like I'm drowning in all the assignments that I'm miss what you have for me. I feel as if I don't know how to get it all done, and enjoy you and your creation at the same time. Help me to focus, but also take a step back and enjoy the world around me.

Well slow down I did...zero homework done today, but I did get my hair cut, dance for Jazz bash, and see New Moon with Heather! at least I was productive in some way! LOL..

well it still physically hurts. not being given the chance. I just want the chance to love someone. is that too much to ask for? must be. plus he knows, and if he doesn't he's denying it. its way to obvious. alright. I need sleep. goodnight all.

HELP! I'm drowning! I'm drowning in homework!! AH!

I'll bet that every student on campus is feeling this exact sentiment. We're drowning in a sea of homework and assignments with a serious case of procrastination. Look, I'm procrastinating now. I'm blogging instead of researching for my COM 102 posts...oh joy. Its an online class that is going to literally be the death of me.

tomorrow is the combined rehearsal with the SAFMC sanctuary choir and the SAU concert choir. Its at 6:30 then we have prop shop set up and run through at 8pm. PSW starts at 9:30. pray that everything goes well. also pray that people are able to connect with God and he is able to connect with them. I am so thankful for this time of worship and praise. We get to come together as a community of believers and celebrate Jesus' sacrifice and his love for us. Its really a beautiful thing.

alright, i would write more, but I need to start working on my assignments for tomorrow...

The Adventure Called Life Day 049

its laundry day! and yes, I enjoy doing it, so sue me :) there are just somethings about being a "woman" that I'm completely okay with, for example...cooking (when I have the time to do it right) cleaning (again time is also a factor) and even laundry. You would think I have men lining up at my door...and yet the "take a number" tickets remain untouched. My mother reassures me with the idea that some day the men in my life will want a mature, stable woman. That they will reach the point of "settling" down. Well, what if I don't want to quote on quote "settle down"? Is that all I'm made for? I sure hope not. I don't want a man that I can cook, clean and do laundry for. His mother does that. I desire a relationship where we "do life" together. Together is definitely the key word, of course we may differ on things such as music, or sports programs. But most of the time we are compatible and work well with each other. Sometimes I wish I could just say, "Hey, I think we'd be really great together," but I must be patient. Plus the person I have in mind is very mysterious and clammed up. I try to talk about things of the heart but all I get is silence. I would like to think he at least cares for me, wants to see no harm come to me...okay i'm sounding really lame. 

but really, I just want to enjoy being a woman, a single one at that for the for seeable future. There is something about enjoying a good bubble bath, or really wonderful movie that touches the heart and stirs the soul. I love words, the way they can shape and sharpen an idea. or make things appear broader or bring them into focus...music is another passion of mine, I know that Coldplay maybe some what monotonous (okay so they only understand the words mellow, four-four and ooohhhs) but it fits my mood sometimes. background noise can bring what I'm doing into focus. Plus i like the ooohhs...I'm a vocalist. we thrive on vocal lines and melodic passages! I enjoy wearing dresses, wearing mascara, lip stick, and doing my hair. I also enjoy dancing, it makes me feel very feminine. I'm not talking about club dancing, I'm talking about lyrical and certain latin ballroom styles. in addition to exercise, I feel like it takes care of my body, making me more aware of all my muscles and joints. I discovered my hips in lyrical class, not in the mirror. There is a certain "woman sway" that one attains when their hips flare out, also I discovered what it meant to be okay in my body by dance. It made my curves make sense and it made my ridiculously long legs something to be envied :) also my hair is really great for lyrical. true story.

alright, enough blabbing...its time to put the laundry in and get down to business. I would like to take a nap though. and watch a movie later. I was thinking maybe a Bourne Movie would be just the ticket...

happy saturday. and a happy saturday it has been :)

Mitch, Heath and I visited Holy Ascension Orthodox church. It was a very interesting experience. The priest/pastor gave us a little tour afterwards. I was a little anxious to see if he would let us see the altar, but alas, even though I know we all wanted to see it, he did not show it to us. I'm sure its considered to be a "Holy of Holies" of sorts...anyway....

I am super excited for tonight! 8o's skate night! YEAH! Eric and I are going...I think Michelle and Susanna are also going to be there! I hope Kimmee is going too. This is going to be so much fun!

okay...correction. I am not going to 80's skate night. well. that. just. sucks. Heather cancelled, Eric called and cancelled, Heath and Mitch refused to go, and I AM NOT GOING ALONE. no way. oh well.

well at least I'll get enough sleep, and I will be able to finish this article. yay. okay well, now that i've found the bright side, its time to get back to work. thanks for the break. yay day 41.

happy thursday!

im listening to MUSE and can't think of anything that might be wrong with the world right now...LOL...

i just finished another web article for The Pulse. I have a love/hate relationship with it right now. I love to write, but I think that sometimes I would like to just "poof" and the interview, thinking, and writing is DONE. 

oh well. and the beat goes on.

so tonight is TAKE HOME CHEF, the RA's and Carey, our RD are here to make Quesadillas for us! YAY! then I have a mtg with John G for music for PSW tomorrow. I think I might ask him to play electric guitar, I know he likes to, and he rarely gets to do it. Maybe I'll ask Emily to do powerpoint? hmmm...just a thought

then Im going to a V for Vendetta party at Callie Cothern's room. that should be fun :) i think Eric is going, Mitch and Phil will probably be there too....well that should be interesting.

now its time to eat and get on with the evening. I'll be in the library later doing some Espanol homework since I'm such a great procrastinator :)
