daily?

i've been a slacker and i apologize. with the Christmas rush and everything, I feel like i was being pulled in every direction. now that the holiday is over and i can focus on things like getting my text books for next semester, i'm starting to actually relax. there is one question on my mind (among many) that i would like to share on here.


to be forward or not to be forward. i feel that i already know the answer but something keeps telling me that i should put a little more effort into this and i'll be surprised at what i find.

i hope my intuition isn't wrong.


love,

secondhand shopping




while shopping with a.jane in a fun city today, we discovered the following.

there is the desireable "hour-glass" figure, and then there is being "stuffed in a glass"

outside of that...it was good fun. the city was alive and kicking, and even though we were beat from walking everywhere, we had a great time.

i wore the dress i thought you loved
but my boots are filling with snow that you've
shoved off of the car
we climb in too, you finish first
i must catch up to you

you have had your fill, your fill of me.
you have had your fill, your fill of me.

how can i catch up when i don't want to,
how can i catch up when i still want you,
how can i catch up when i don't want to,
how can i catch up when i still want you...

essentially done


finals are nearly over.
one tomorrow at 1:30...and it's more a lesson on how to use finale.

even though we all know how to use it. however, i will do my best to be optimistic. maybe he will show us some cool tricks....maybe.

the worst semester of my college career: done



recently, i've been punched in the face by a lot of things. one of them being the following:

my complete and utter dependency on God. without Him, i would be so broken, so nothing. but His strength is made perfect in my weakness.

that is the thought of the day.

also, at my OPE today, i had an excellent chat with the host teacher and i really feel like it went well overall. fun times had by all.

will post tomorrow when I'm officially done.

also, i may be going on a road trip with a.jane. that will be needless to say be a riot and a half.

here's to good friends


i had an excellent evening last night. it was quite possibly the most fun i have had in a long time. pictures will be up next week when i get them developed.

i also had an excellent conversation with a friend of mine, which in turn, made us even better friends. hurrah for that. it isn't often when you find someone that you can be that comfortable, that candid with. i haven't been able to be so introspective with someone in a long time.

i am annoyed with myself for only using lower case i's (and the dot above the "i" is definitely called a tittle) but i am so sleepy to go back and change all of them.

there is also a key stuck in our back door. looks like someone got mad at the frozen lock and twisted off their key.

time for the office now, and much productivity. but first, i need to make a list. and put a load in the wash.

that's all for now,

EDIT: and to cheese danishes. those are also excellent. along with the people that buy them. :)

another week, another lesson

goodness how the time flies. It seems like just yesterday we moved into our nice little apartment and set up house. But now, it's almost finals week. Next week is the last week of "normal" classes, and I am quite happy about that. At the same time a lot of work is looming ahead, so I must attend to that.

Oh! And as of the other day, I actually have a date for our winter formal here at college. You'd think we were still in high school the way some of the freshman are acting about it. Oh, wait. Right. Because they still think they ARE in high school. Got it.


More later,

another day at work

"it's alright. i didn't hear what she said but i knew she wasn't angry. she laughed. it's not like she was going to go get her rifle. people don't usually laugh after that."

i like this job. it's oddly inspiring at times. 
other times, it's boring as all get out. 
sometimes i wish i had a different job, but then some cute little old lady will come in and give me pretzels. her name is elinor. 
i should get back to work, and by back to work i mean back to looking up things on the internet. like facebook. definitely intellectually stimulating.

blessings

this holiday (whether or not you believe the niceties we are taught in grade school about thanksgiving) reminds me to be thankful of what i have in my life.

my blessings

my God, my Creator, my Salvation, my Hope
healthy family & friends
a house
food
warm (and sometimes fashionable) clothing
good education and professors who care
people that believe in me, even when i don't believe in myself
my future husband. (cheesy, yes, true, also yes) he's out there somewhere. i'm just waiting to be pursued.
home.

may this holiday bring you peace and joy in the knowledge that even there are things to be sad about, there is always something to grateful for.

postponed


After a serious case of cold feet last night and this morning. I have called it off. My recital that is. I do not need to do it until next semester. Heck, it technically is not required at all. But nonetheless, it has been postponed until February. Needless to say, I am elated. Relieved. Much more relaxed than I have been in the last few weeks. I am going to watch a movie this evening, with no intent of doing anything academic. Should anything academic occur, then, well, let it occur. :)

it's better off this way


the thought occurred to me the other day, that maybe it is all better off this way.

sure, one will miss the one she loves, but would it really have worked out in the end? no. there would not have a been fairy tale ending there. so. it is better off this way. me alone. as a good man once sang, i am just here 'sittin' waitin' wishin.'
