I am a mix of emotions right now.  I am so afraid that the Peace Corps stuff won't work out.  I want it so badly, and I'm not sure how I will handle it if it doesn't happen.  What was previously excitement is now dread because I feel like it isn't going to happen.  I have no real justification for this feeling, but I am panicked about it none the ( Read more... )

Things are really good right now.  Towards the beginning of the year I hit a low point for me.  I was meeting with my pastor and he asked me what I thought I was good at, and the best answer I could come up with was "getting by."  So much has changed since then.  So much so that I thought I would make a list of comparisons.

Yet another entry. Thought I'd take a break from writing for school to write in here.

I only have a page and a half left to write! Went from being academic fuck-up to academic royalty in just a few hours.

Here is my plan for the rest of finals week, so I wont repeat yesterday and today:

Today 
Now - 4 PM: Finish, proofread, printout and turn in ( Read more... )

Love the whole, not posting for five months, and now only wanting to post. It's the result of reading Bridget Jones.

I am sitting down in the staff office, eating breakfast, and attempting to play freecell. But I am not functioning well enough to play that yet, so I thought I'd write in here instead. So this year is ending, and its over. And I'm a senior. That's what kyle said. Kyle and I just learned that you can recycle brown and clear glass. FYI, Ponies ( Read more... )

So I am really confused right now. I am at the United Methodist Student Movement Forum (long name) and I went to a meeting (conference?) on ordained ministry. And I realized how behind I am. It's weird because I have been feeling like my life was on hold for the past few years, and now I find out that there were steps I should have been taking ( Read more... )

So tonight, was pretty much fantastic ( Read more... )

So I was just looking at Mission Year, thinking it was a possible post-grad thing to do. Then I saw this, about walking alone:

This is non-negotiable. During the day, women may walk together in groups of two or more, but after 9 p.m. there should be a guy in the group. You may hate this rule by the third week, but as far as we are concerned you are ( Read more... )
