Poppin' In For A Pit Stop

Greetings! It's been a coon's age since my last actual posting so I feel compelled to stop in and give a holla. It's been busy with this, and that, and then after that, a little bit more of this. But, it's all been productive, and learning lots. Maybe that huge tutition bill won't seem so big someday. Right....that's what everyone else hopes. The picture to the side here is from the last time I wa home with my chicas. I heart them, can't be much happier- me and my two best gals.

Classes - they are going well. I have two classes that I recently took tests in this past week, so that much is under my buckle. Now let's hope everything went well and I'm not going to fall out of my seat when they are returned. My level 400 class is going alright, even though God or religion is bashed about every day for class, but my strength comes from the Lord, who is strong and mighty. I really have nothing to fear. Typography is going well also but is going to require a lot of my efforts this weekend, which is alright. Saturday is wide open for that work, as far as I know. I hope it stays that way.

Last Friday I went out to Erie with some friends and ate at Applebee's. Utterly amazing. The taste of real food that is rich with taste and spices was glorious. Dessert was even included in the meal I got, which was an added bonus to the package. I was thankful that night I was in America and eating it's rich, artery-clogging delicasies.

I've been stressed about two issues lately, two of them that are pretty huge. One deals with the summer, the other deals with the fall. Sure, it's far off, but in the realm of things, it's really not. I love to make plays, organize layouts, make lists, but when I don't have any control over anything, that's when it gets tough to lay it down at the cross. To be honest, I am sick of praying over the matter and so tired of crying out and wanting God to plainly tell me where to go. I'm not saying I am going to stop asking, because I am told to"Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.--Psalm 55:22". I am going to keep on praying about it, and lay it down at His feet. It's too muh of a burden on me, and I hope I get some clear cut answers or direction soon.

Oh, just a side note, Steelers rock. Heck yes. I celebrated the tremendous celebration of the black and gold victory at the Potter's House. We even hauled in a platform that was used at the Pig Roast in September into the house to create stadium seating, which looked great, but was a bear to haul in when it's snowing like nobody's crazy business outside. We have roughly a foot of snow in the boro, which to you might seem like a lot of just a dusting, depending on where you are from. The temperatures are dropping, that's the worst part. I don't mind the snow, I mind losing fingers, I kinda need them. ;)

I just came back from the bathroom. (Sure, that was probably more information that you needed to know, but everyone goes!) I was talking with a girl from my floor at the sinks and as I left I thought to myself how nice it is to know genuinly nice people. Honestly, there should be more of them around! Those who are socially warm and friendly, caring, loving, what's not to love there?

I started a new workout regiment my friend M that has transformed us into running chicas. It's great to have a friend to work out with because it's more motivation and funner when you feel like a moron in the gym while there are Arnold's all around you lifting all the free weights available in the whole tri-county area. We usually run about 2 miles and then some other minor things. It rocks, I never knew I could be doing 2 miles consistantly. And the feeling after I am cooled down is great, I become so relaxed I could nap, but it's not physically possible. Besides, summer is going to be here just like that, I need to spice up those thighs of mine.

Ministry on campus is great as usual. Lots of great things going on and keeping me busy but hopefully reaching others and such. Family is doing well, usual events going on at home like places burning down and dumb criminals doing the usual. Gotta love Kittanning.

Well, it's time for me to end this sweet embrace of blogging and time to maybe change Larold's water. (The beta fish who keeps me company in this lonely room, when I'm actually there. I often feel bad for him and his lack of companionship but I am later reminded of 2 strong key factors 1) any other beta he would kill or either mate with 2) his memory has a time span of probably 3-5 seconds.) Off I go, maybe even squeezing in some time for some pilates! I will try to catch up on blog someday, honestly, my deepest apologies for "disappearing". Have a great one everybody!
