mon anniversaire...c'est...dimanche?

my french is incredibly rusty. i don't know if it was ever anything that could rust, but man oh man, it's rusty now.


my birthday is sunday and i am feeling a mix of both excitement and neutrality. i feel so much older than i am that turning 20 doesn't really hold much charm. don't get me wrong, i am thrilled to not be a teenager anymore. at the same time though, i am remiss with doubts of the future, what the hell i am doing with my life and how work, love, friends, family and music will all play into it. *sigh* i just wish things would lay out in front of me saying "here! over here! i'm next!" so that i would know what to do.

on a lighter note, i met my host teacher for new placement. she seems fun and energetic and she laughed at my jokes which is a big plus. she offered to help me get to school by carpooling (!!!) which is possibly the best thing ever. also, i was informed by a certain guitar playing gentleman that there are definitely apartments to rent in the town of my second placement month by month. if the weather is bad enough, i may just rent a place out there for 0ct - dec. don't know how my parents will feel about that, but it will probably even out for gas. plus, i would only have to drive about 10 minutes, as compared to 45. i will definitely be looking into that.

work today was hectic. there is a church camp using our campus and it's just nuts. first off, the group is pentecostal and very... eccentric in their worship style. also, some of the kids, this one in particular, feel like they are so on fire for God that they need to act that way 24/7. i understand that it is a big deal to be released from sin and to know salvation but sometimes it can be really obnoxious to hang around that guy who says "praise the Lord" all day. praising God is good, but only when you mean. not just when you say it for show. 

:rant = over:

all that to say, i am a little cranky and a lot hungry. 

love,
weekendhack
