A New Semester

at 01/31/10 10:24PM

Well I was completely lazy over Christmas break and I loved it. My family had a blast at Disney World and then when we got back I spent my time reading and catching up with friends; it was a much appreciated break.
This semester I moved into an apartment with my friend Kylie and it has been great so far! I have loved getting to cook my own food, yesterday morning I made banana bread and the whole apartment smelt sooo good.
I'm tutoring political science again this semester at the library. I find that I am pretty much 95% of the time tutoring girls. I can't figure out why. I guess typically most girls have no interest in politics, because when I bring up current issues I usually get a blank stare.
Also, I'm set to graduate in a year with my bachelor's and then it's off to graduate school. I can't figure out where I'd like to go. Any suggestions? I've been looking at Texas Tech, UNT, UT at Austin, UT at Dallas.

I would recommend Texas Tech, of course. There are a fine group of Christians there, too. I think you'd find it to be generally a conservative town with a hometown feel. Ryan is really looking forward to going in the Fall.

Wait, weren't you considering staying at SFA? Or is that for your bachelors? Maybe I'm just confused. We need to talk soon. :)

I'm so ready for Christmas!!!!!! Because as soon as school gets out I'm headed to Disney World! There are a lot of other things that I'm looking foward to this Christmas. First off getting to hang out Mallory and Christina again. I miss them both :( And we are having another youth lectureship at Reel Road after New Years (I'll send out messages about that when it gets closer to time). And I'm going to move into an apartment in the spring. I'm so excited about having my own place :)

My New favorite CD right now would have to be between Carrie Underwood's "Play On" and Owl City "Ocean Eyes"

Also on the book list right now, I've been reading:
Mary Stuart "The Crystal Cave" (Good if you are into Arthorian Legends)
Barbra Kingsolver "The Poisonwood Bible"

Guess that's all

Christmas at Disney sounds awesome! I hope you have a great time! We're going this summer. I can't wait! Have you finished "The Poisonwood Bible"? I had to make myself finish reading it. I didn't enjoy it at all. I like books I don't have to think about. :o)

^^^^That's one of my new favorite quotes

Well I'm back at school now. It's been great so far! My classes haven't been too hard which is nice (but then again it's only the 4th week of school). It's been really nice to be back among my christian friends at school. And I've really liked getting to know the new freshmen.

We just had a gospel meeting with Gary Sandusky at Stallings. I really enjoyed the meeting; I got alot out of it.

I got a job at school! I'm a political science tutor. I love it!

I went mudding for the first time a couple of nights ago. It was crazy!!!!! But I loved it!

Yeah I'm boring that's pretty much all that's going on in my life.

Peace Out

yea sandusky really was inspiring. wish i coud've made it to more.

Wow this summer has seriously flown by! I can not believe that school is going to start in two weeks! It just doesn't seem possible. This summer has been good for me in a lot of ways it's given me time to think. You know people say you learn alot about yourself when you live away from home for awhile. I did learn alot about myself and people last year, but I'm not sure I really took the time to process it haha. So yeah in that respect this summer's been good; I've been able to reflect. I also got to spend time with my family and reconnect with friends that I thought I had lost.
Mallory left for Florida about two days ago. I didn't really hit me until today. Mallory, Alina, and I have been through ALOT together. We've laughed together, we've cried together, we've grown up together. Alina and I have known each other well...forever. And then Mallory came on the scene about seven years ago and she completed the picture. I miss her soooo much already. There are hundreds of memories that the three of us girls share - slumber parties, zoo trips, visiting Mallory's grandparents in Center, bible studies together. The list could go on and on. I don't have a sister, but I've never felt that I missed out on not having a sister because Mallory and Alina are my sisters that's how much I love them.

Yes, it was an English professor. I'm pretty sure that's it! I don't understand it....

You and Alina need to stop with the making my cry stuff! Haha. I love you, Jess!!!!!! I miss you SO much. Already. And I haven't even been gone a week. :P Come visit me soon, okay? I love you!

by scrimp at 08/16/09 5:22AM

by sarahs at 08/20/09 5:00PM

by sarahs at 08/24/09 7:19AM
Are you majoring in Sp Path? There's a lady at church, Misty Bowlin (sp?) who is a SLP. If you haven't met her I'll intro you... if that's your major. :o)

Our Congregation is about to vote on whether we will hire the man who came to speak to us last week as our new preacher. Please pray that they make the right decision.

Hopefully I'll see a bunch of ya'll this weekend. I can't wait :)

You know I'm praying. For that and other things....
