New stuff
Mkay... My homeopeners.... are.... old... They have grandkids... who are my age... But, they're still cool, I guess. Ray, is a lot like my dad. Really into technology, and falls asleep withing 5 minutes of turning on a TV. Barbara is very nice. She likes to sew and crochet, so we get along. They have two cats, a dog, and a bird, all of which shed/molt more than what's considered normal. My allegeries are going berzerk. But other than the old fashionedness of all this, they're pretty cool. Barb likes organic/healthy food, and that's going to give me a hard time. The thing I miss most would prolly be Iron Chef and cartoons. But, soon and very soon, I'll be too busy for Morimoto and Flay and Batali... All my favorites.... *Sigh*
I'm begining to realize what I got myself into. This year may actually be difficult. I'm not worried about the studying, I'm not worried about the memorizing, or being up on stage. It's the whole idea of my personality being completely altered, my much over-fed ego because starved and slashed that intimidates me. I've become comfortable with the persona I've invented for myself, becoming new... becoming what I really think I might be is going to be difficult. I'm scared of that, what I may become, and if I'll be accepted after that. I mean, I know I will. I see what the outcome is going to be; me, being changed into a better, more complete person in Christ. But, it's the spaces in between, the nitty-gritty, the pain, the tears, the work that scared me. Also, the cute guys. Dang...
But, the first few days have been cool. Learning everyone's names is going to be vigerous, but this weekend we'll be off for the covenant retreat. It's where I'll baisically sign away the next 9-10 months of my life. I'm almost completely sure I want to do it. Even if it's going to be hard, I know I'll pull through. It's weird, and I can't explain it. My mind doubts, but on the inside, deep down, I know I'm going to pull through. The paper and the ring are just confirmation.
So, that's it. Lots of crazy stuff. Man, this week is going to be great. I can't wait till we get going full-gear. Sweet!
