watermelons and life plans

I started cutting up one of the huge watermelons that my parents brought me from my garden, and I just have to say I grow good melon...okay, so I had a little help. Still, super delicious!

I had a great talk with L tonight. It was good to just chat for a little while. And it was nice to air so much of what has just been going around and around in my mind for the last several days.

I am sick of coming up with plans for post-graduation. I have handed this all over to God, so I really hate that it just keeps running through my mind.

Today, for instance, I added a new plan to the list. I received an e-mail about the TeachforAmerica program, and I decided it could be cool to apply for that program and move to Hawaii and teach...I don't even know what I would teach, but there it is.

L suggested that I write all these ideas down and put them in a box so that when they continue to come up, I can just say that they are in the box.

I came home early tonight, and I am planning on going to bed here very soon...I'm ready for an early night, and it has been nice to just have a quiet night at home.

And tomorrow morning will be nice and chill hopefully. I have to get started on a Sleeping Beauty costume, but I did get the material for it today, so that is a step in the right direction.

I have my first econometrics test a week from today, and I'm not really freaked out about it...yet. I need to start studying soon, though.

I turned in my first paper today, and then I gave a copy to K to read, since it was about her anyway. I enjoyed writing it, and I hope she enjoys it.

I'm out...safe!

Called Beauty

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
