I LAUVE YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH!! No I do not know a boy named Evan Smith, but Mina told me today that a boy named Seth from my school goes to Trinity with you! I saw him in my school's awesome western-style production of the Shakespeare play "Twelfth Night." You would've loved it.

why are you applying to so many colleges?

good luck, i know you'll get into some excellent schools.

oxoheyyouoxo November 3 2005, 02:37:36 UTC

I need to do that many because I need more of a choice and feel more confident about getting into more schools.

But thanks Justine! I hope you're doing well at Conn!

First let me say that I am quite impressed that you are reading Sojourners. You are the first teenager I have ever known who does and we all can see from this entry you just wrote why it is good for you. I highly commend Sojourners to any of the rest of you reading this who care about the intersection of faith and social policy and foreign policy ( ... )

I think more people should get the Sojourners newsletter. They have such great articles and it's so good to get in my inbox. My other friend actually follows Sojourners as well -- he did Camp IF a couple years ago as a Jewish participant!

Thank you so much for your prayer and support, Paul -- I'm sad we didn't get to continue/finish our conversation last weekend, but maybe we'll get the chance this weekend? Oo and thanks for that article, too!

hei yue my darling, i am so proud of you and inspired by you.
i really want to help too with the pakistan crisis now that ive read your entry! it seems like once we move on to a new headline in our newspapers, we all forget about last week's headline that is still important and still needs help. problems like this seem to fade into the background when a more exciting story comes along. :-(
im so glad youre raising awareness about it! i think at the next meeting ill talk to my youth group and see how we can do something--weve been doing a bunch of fundraisers lately, why not more? haha.

aaanyways, dont fret about college... i have faith in you and brown! getting into college is not all about academics. you have done some pretty amazing stuff that is going to impress them!

i loooove you

"it seems like once we move on to a new headline in our newspapers, we all forget about last week's headline that is still important and still needs help."

I couldn't agree more. You inspire me, Katie! I love our ever-strengthening link of INSPIRATION.

That sounds wonderful with you going to your youth group. You are amazing.

I love you so much.
