So... Not a lot has changed since my last blog that was a couple of weeks ago. Actually... if at all possible... Things are even busier. The stress of it hasn't kicked in yet, for which I am grateful. I'm doubting that in the next seven days, after tonight, I am going to have much time to do anything other than what I already HAVE to do... which definitely and especially includes blogging...
This Saturday night is my event - Well, LSFL's event - called Snuggle Up and Read. It is going to be good. I had been overwhelmed with a lack of volunteers able to come to the event - but the dedication of the volunteers that I DO have (even those that cannot actually physically be at the event, but still help planning) has been amazing, and for that I am grateful. This week is going to be filled with running around for that event, as well as photocopying, prepping stuff, and preparing my game story scvenger hunt... activity... thing - for the book... The Paper Bag Princess... which just happens to be ONE of the most amazing books EVER.
Coupled with running that event this weekend - there is a conference at Freedom House - A conference of Breakthru Blessings for 2007??? Sounds good! I'm SOOOO excited about this conference, and although I am going to be a tad bit late on the Sat night because of my event - I think that I will still make it in time for the guest speaker.
What else is going on this week? Well.. I have a paper due on Tuesday (not tomorrow, a week tomorrow) about a book that I am supposed to have read called "When Bad Things Happen To Good People". Its for a religion class and so far, it is actually a really good book. And yes, I do say SO FAR because i have not FINISHED it yet. So... any time that i DO have this week and weekend that does not include planning, running around or actually being at this event, I have to spend finishing this book so that I can write a kick butt response about it. Did I mention that I need at least four A-(s) to get my average back up to what it was last year?
Midterm season also starts for my on Wednesday the 31st. I'm not exactly sure who calculated that the middle of the term is a third way into the term (since we started on the 3rd of Jan and end on the 31st of March, I'm not really sure where the math went) but... that means that they are not all on the same day... or in the same week... as they were last time.
I'm happy to say that I have only spent $46 on textbooks. And get this, neither were actually Textbooks, they were books that I have to read for religion class. The other four classes I have? I can't afford textbooks for those. There goes that A-? I think NOT. I can do this without textbooks... they usually just sit on my shelf as soon as they get home anyways.
Well... I am late leaving for Bible study now. I am going to run. But wanted to give current updates! Maybe, if I am still alive in two weeks, I'll post again

Welcome 2007... and let's start it off with a kick in the face....
Wow.
2007 is here.
Can you believe it? 2006 went SO fast... and a lot happened... and a lot is continuing to happen in 2007... even though we are a total of 11 days in (I think, I had to keep asking what day it was yesterday, but I am a little more grounded today).
How am I starting off this year? With lots of things! I have different classes (so far, so good... and boring x1).... I have different roommates (they are really the same people, but they are different to me)... I have different situations (one of my best friends moved to St. Cats... which is really far by comparison to Burlington)... and I now have a palmpilot (not sure if that is how you SPELL palmpilot, but it was a good guess if not) that is going to assist me in my organization.
2007 ALSO started off with... oh... this just in... wait for it... INSANITY! Like always.... I just don't think that I can get away without having my spoonfull of insanity. But really... Its not that bad... well... maybe. I think that I have been juggling it well. I've already completed an assignment (Its DONE and SUBMITTED and not due for another... twelve hours... so for anyone who knows me, that is PRETTY DARN IMPRESSIVE), I ran a meeting by myself that didn't go horribly (although I have now determined that I am not a huge agenda person.... but I'll keep trying to become one, just for Rachel ;)...), I have an event coming up that is going to ROCK... i hope... I am helping run a Youth fundraiser for Winterfest at Yes Church... It is a Valentine's Day Ho-Down Square Dance thing... Going to be good... still in primary stages and I don't know that much about it... And umm... well, there is always work. Nothing like showing up in time to no students, because assignments are not due yet, and sitting there for two hours, while not getting paid. But, it gets me up and out of the house and into a forced working situation - I've used that time wisely, completing assignments for myself and work for LSFL etc. All in all... its not too bad. But I'm looking forward to tutoring again! Hopefully students will start coming sooner rather than later!
Of course there are always things that suck. But... working through them helps you to learn who you are, right? Am I right? Please tell me that I am at least a little bit right. And of course, "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him. Who have been called according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)
