long time no post!

Wow! It's been a long time since I've posted anything on here!! Sorry ya'll but it's just been a crazy month! My semester is almost done! Just 1 individual presentation this week, and then a group presentation and my placement file due finals week. SWEET!!! I think this has got to be the easiest finals time ever........

So.... yeah, things have been going well. I've been doing quite well financially (meaning that I can actually pay my credit card in whole every month)...but i think that might have hit a snaffu today.... and last night. Heather K and I went shopping for decorating stuff for the floor and i probably spent about 50 bucks or more... yeah,....WAY over budget.... and then today, we went to the MOA and I spent 100$ at least oon stuff JUST for me, and not for other people..... my mom will pay for about 60 of it, because it's for sweaters for myself for christmas, but still.... so yeah.... seriously.... i need to destroy all plastic methods of financial support.... . ha ..... ha

seriously...... a new suitemate is coming. HEATHER HARMS (aka heater or feath) is coming back to campus. since erin is getting married in less than a month, heather's gonna be my suitemate...won't that be fun! woohoo! someone who actually knew my before internship, because right now, the other girls on my floor really only know me from what they know of me this semester. plus heather's not afraid to go out and drink, even if she can't afford it.... i'm totally in on that shiz...

ha

ok.... i'm exhausted and need some christmas cheer in the form of "A Christmas Carol: the musical" hahahaha... night yo

blah blah blah

Ok, so the past few days and weeks and even months have been really bizarre...and blah...and more blah... I dont know what it is, but it's just... strange. I've felt very down and depressed, and really for no reason at all. I've been sleeping alot lately, and I'm sure a part of it is just recovering from the exhaustion from the play. But I don't know... I dont want to fall into my old patterns. I've been mentally and emotionally healthy for a while now, and I dont want to go away from that. I enjoy just being me and not this wacko person who's so sad, angry and depressed all the time.

So, today, I got up early (yeah, there's a shocker!) and went to a meeting at work, then i had some time before my other job started for the day, so i decided to read my book.... i fell asleep and didn't wake up till noon! I was supposed to be at work at 10! OH NO! So, I apologized to my boss and she was fine with it, but still. I felt bad. That's so unlike me. So, it was kind of a wakeup call to me. I've decided that from this day forward, I'm going to do something. Like, nothing bad or anything, but just...do something. Instead of spending my time thinking all the time and bitching about how sucky it is to be a post-intern with all these darn papers and professors breathing down your back about miniscule things that have no purpose or weight towards what I really want to do with my life: MINISTRY. I loved internship. As much as it was a hard transition for the first 6 months, the last 6 months were almost dream-like in how perfect they were. I miss Peoria desperately, and that's something I never thought I would say. I'm going back in a few weeks and I think it will help me a huge deal with motivation and understanding the "why" behind being back here this year. It will give me a chance to see how things have changed in my absence and be fully charged to get back to work to finish preparing my heart and my mind for the future: my call as a DCE in a church. I can't wait for that day.

I have also decided that I WILL GO TO WORSHIP THIS SUNDAY! I haven't been to a church service in 6 weeks. I've just been so tired! That's no longer a valid excuse. I need to get my bum out of bed and go to church and worship and praise my Savior. My spiritual life has been in the toilet lately, and I need to do something about it. I hate it when people tell me their problems and I tell them to DO SOMETHING about it, and they don't. I need to take my own advice.  So, I'm going to DO SOMETHING!

drunks, drinks and doing nothing

Ok, so the play was this past weekend... it went quite well... I loved playing a drunk on stage. As much as i bitched in the beginning of rehearsals about how much of a pain it was because i didnt' get my character and i didn't know how to be drunk, I still loved it. Being on that stage again.... it was such a thrill... to know that I've still got talent. I mean, being away from theatre stuff for 3 years takes its toll. Although I still firmly believe that theatre isn't really my main passion in life anymore, ministry is, this play really reaffirmed that theatre is still one of my deepest inner interests that i want to pursue for the rest of my life. i dont know... i just...I dont know how to firm this into words, but that's kind of how i feel... I got more compliments on playing a drunk person! how funny is that? hahaha

ok, for drinks, I love drinking. Dr Pepper, water, or Red Headed Sluts.... those are kinda good. go down smoothly. nasty name tho... but funny... hahaha....

doing nothing.... i'm avoiding all homework... i have an internship paper due in a week, i have a paper due thursday, i have a quiz tomorrow, i have tons of things on my plate, but absolutely no motivation to do them

ok, in 3 weeks i'll be going back to Peoria to visit.. WOOHOO! I am so freaking excited. seriously...i can't say anything more than that.... excited!!! WoOhOo....!!!

Junior High Youth Gathering 2007

this information is just way too exciting to keep to myself!

Many of you know that I have wanted to be a co chair for the Junior High Youth gathering here at CSP for as long as I can remember. I've always wanted to do gathering ministry. It's a part of why I wanted to become a DCE in the first place! I love gatherings, and eventually i want to move up to the district and synod level of them, if the NYG's are still around by the time I get to that level in 20 years.  So, at the Scholarship Donor Brunch this morning, Dr. Burkart pulled me aside and told me that I'm in! I AM OFFICIALLY one of the 2 (or 3) CO-CHAIRS for the 2007 Mn So. District Junior High Youth Gathering in April 2007!!! WOOHOO!!! I am so freaking excited!!! Planning won't start for about another month, which is fine with me! I'm busy right now with the play and everything! But anyway... YAY!!!! I CAN"T WAIT!!!

Now, just to chose a partner for it.... or 2..... hmmmmmm.....
