Stop the Presses ...

Woah, woah, woah. What is this? Two updates in ONE WEEK? Yeah this is for real. Please try to contain your excitement. The reason behind this post might in fact be pure boredom, but I may, deep down, be attempting to be more productive. Subconsciously of course. I'm currently watching the Kansas NCAA game with my lovely roommate. After I thought about it for a while, I realized that this is the first NCAA basketball game I have ever watched - there's a first time for everything, right? So, I am doing exactly what I've done at every CofO basketball game ... I cheer when everyone else does and hope it's for the right team.

Spring Break officially ended for me today. I'm back on campus to work for the weekend. The week was uneventful; my house was occupied by myself and my sister's deranged cat. I am quite convinced this beast has been exposed to demon-possession and is now greatly affected by it. (KANSAS JUST GOT A SLAM DUNK!) This cat is really, really weird. Just trust me. My mom texted me tonight to inform me that I 'accidentally' locked it in the pantry for about six hours ... the creature survived.

It's 11:11. Don't worry, I made a wish.

I wrote out my Fall class schedule today. I'm pretty psyched about how my classes have lined up ... I'm especially excited that I have zero 8am classes, and only one on Fridays. Tuesdays and Thursdays have been officially labeled as the Science Days as I have three lovely science classes to keep me company. I'm hoping my poor high-school-biology brain will be able to wrap around General, Organic, + Biochemistry. It's definitely gonna be rough, and I'm gonna have to work pretty hard for that one ...

Have a freakin' awesome week! ... Really, have a GREAT week. :)

Spring Break

Here I am again! Staying always consistent with my every-two-months blog entry. I feel like I have a fairly legitimate excuse ... this semester seriously hit me like a hurricane. I didn't know what the word 'busy' meant until January began. I thought I had had a stressful semester before ... now I know that I definitely hadn't had one until this spring. I guess this can be attributed to the addition of some pretty tough classes and a part-time job. Medical Terminology and Technical Writing have basically raked me over the coals. Even though it's been rough - I've learned so much and I'm definitely thankful for new opportunities.

I'm home for break this week. I've packed a pretty tight schedule, consisting of homework and lots of Netflix. I'm so ready for a week consisting of ... absolutely nothing. It's such a great feeling. You know that little nagging conscience you are plagued ... err ... blessed with during a semester? Every time you do something relatively unproductive it's always nagging at you to get moving. Well, thankfully that has been paused for a week! I'm ready for non-productive-ness. :)

God has been teaching me a lot about being satisfied in Him and who he is; realizing that He is consistently faithful and good. I feel like I'm constantly at war with my emotions. I listened to a lot of Tenth Avenue North on my drive home today. I'm pretty sure that band has some of the most applicable and encouraging lyrics I've ever heard. They're simplistic, but powerful.
"Empty my hands, fill up my heart, capture my mind with You." Good stuff.

Well, pizza's ready. Have a great week :)
