Quarterly Updated (haha!)
Hi friends!!
Oh my goodness! I'm such a bad friend and LJer! I'm so sorry I haven't updated. Life has been crazy, at the least. Some big things have happened, but they've been good, too.
I switched to Interactive Media and Webdesign with an emphasis in print media. I love it. My classes are going well, though I do have to maintain a 3.5 or better. It's been hard. The first semester (last fall), I got kicked out because my GPA was like a 3.0. So, I had to write an appeals letter and was allowed back in with the condition of making straight A's. Well, I didn't. I made straight B's. But, the appeals lady let me back in for "significant improvement", which is bogus, because my grades were A, B, and C in the fall. Improvement, whatever. But, at least I'm in. I had to write another appeals letter, like I said, and was accepted back into the school. I'm okay with that, because obviously, while school is an awesome thing to do, campus ministry is my main priority.
I studied the Bible with my friend Kristen and she was baptized! Woo!
After 3 years of living in STL, I finally went to my FIRST Cardinals game. Cards vs. Brewer's. It got rained out, so we had to come back. Awesomeness. I think the awesomeness was the people I went with, rather than the game. Which, was awesome, mind you. But, you know. When you're not a hardcore baseball fan (I like football and basketball better), it's all whatever to you.
Um, Let's see. I saw Madea Goes to Jail, Taken, Race to Witch Mountain, Watchmen, Wolverine, Yes Man, Tale of Despereaux, Revolutionary Road, Twilight, Star Trek, Up, Transformers 2 (tonight)...There are probably a few I haven't mentioned. Oh well. But, it's whatever. Mostly good movies.
I saw Rent at the Fox theater. Best 45ish dollars I've ever spent. Then I found out there are college seats for 25, and I could have still gotten the good seat that I had with my two friends. Bleh! But, now I know. Phantom of the Opera is later on this year. You bet I'm going.
Started remembering some things from my past...when I was little. Probably, 4ish. These repressed memories have totally made me mature in a lot of ways that I can't even begin to describe. I'm talking to a lady that goes to our church who is a therapist. I'm also talking to a lot of women at the church who have been through the same thing and are still dealing with it to this day. It helps to talk about it with them, because they really do know and understand. I must say, the last month and 2 weeks have been some of the craziest times in my life, but it's made me grasp for God and understanding who He is and what He does for me every day. My past is just that, my past. It does shape who I am, but it doesn't define who I am. I can use my hurts to help others. And I'm okay with that.
I don't remember if I wrote about it or not, but two of my close friends lost their baby 3 days before Christmas eve last year. They're pregnant again, so praise God for that! Things seem to be going well so far. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers if you would.
I don't really know what else to write about. That's a crazy-lot to dump on y'all right away. And I'm just assuming people will still read my LJ! Haha! But, anyway. That's all I'm going to write for now.
Love Love!
