Tonight is my last night as a teenager. I don't know why, but I was just reminded of Wendy in Peter Pan spending her last night in the nursery. Anyway, this weekend was a lot of fun. Saturday Taylor and I Carta-ed it out to Mt. Pleasant to go to Old Navy. I did some major shopping for non-major money. Nice. Then Saturday night I had a few people over to watch a
Last night and today my mom was in town for an autism conference, so last night she, Jody, and I went out to Olive Garden to celebrate my birthday (which is the 8th). Let me tell you what I ate, because it is truly one of the highlights of my year: 4 breadsticks, salad, chicken alfredo, and pumpkin cheesecake. Just stop and imagine it for awhile. I know, I know, he
Well, let's start with the good stuff...I decided to add secondary education to my French major, so I'll be certified to teach pre-k-12th grade when I graduate. I'm really excited about it. I don't know if I want to teach as a career, but it'd be good to do when my kids are young so I can spend more time with them. I think this decision will help motivate me a litt
Fall Break was a lot of fun. I went to a movie with my brother Friday night. Saturday I went to lunch with my mom then out to see Kelsey. Saturday night my mom and dad and Davy and I went to the fair. It was a lotta fun. Trashy, but fun. I even won some bowls playing bingo. I didn't have bowls before, so yay. Sunday I went to church, and I was really reminded
Work went extremely well Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. In case you don't know, I am a therapist for an autistic child. He's eight years old, and he has a comparatively high-functioning form of autism. He can speak, read, write, do math, etc. He has trouble with speach though, and often he has to be prompted to talk. His social skills are also extremely lacking. M
Well I discovered today that Western Civ actually does have its uses. It started me thinking today about how people were saved before Christ, then back before Abraham. I discussed it with one of my friends, and he directed me to some passages. I found the following verses helpful: "Before the faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until fait
I started this blog over. Hey, I’m a soph-o-more now, things change. I had a fabulous weekend at Fall Getaway. Sometimes I really need time like that to be reminded of how much higher God needs to be on my priority list. I don’t know how I manage to stray so often from the fact that my life is His and His alone. I really needed to readjust my focus once again.
Does everyone else fall for the most unattainable people, or is it just me? It’s different every time. Usually it’s someone theoretically perfect for me, if only he felt the same way about me. Sometimes though, it’s completely different. It’s one of those different situations this time. This time, it’s someone who it would be impossible to be with, for so many re
I feel really sad about Armando's reluctance to go to church with me on Sunday. The trouble is, I don't know if I'm more upset because he isn't a Christian or because I have feelings for him. It's a confusing situation, but I'm sure that I SHOULD be more upset about him not accepting Christ. If he does end up going, it will make me so happy. I am kinda worried tha
I really wish my roommate and I shared more with each other. I feel bad when she's upset and I don't know why, because I hate not being able to help people. Not everyone's into talking about their feelings, though, and that's okay. I just wish I could help. Anyway, later this week I have to go testify in court back home. My 7th grade keyboarding teacher is on tri
Okay, so apparently I'm pretty unlucky in love. Well, big surprise there. I don't know how or when, but I definitely have been developping feelings for Armando. I know he has a girlfriend, I know he's going back to Brazil in like 2 months, I know he's not interested in me in that way. Maybe I like that he kissed me. It was just on the forehead of course, but no
Do you ever see somebody and they're so beautiful/handsome and have such a good personality that you wonder, "Why aren't they with somebody?" I used to think that a lot, not so much anymore, but I've thought it a few times lately. That got me thinking, why do we say that about other people and not ourselves? Aren't we just as worthy to be in a relationship as them?
So sometimes things don't turn out quite the way you think they're going to. For instance, my plans for the week included sleeping, eating, reading, sleeping, swimming, sleeping, and going to see Kelsey. Instead, my week so far has entailed searching for/reading articles on hunter-gatherers, helping the most dependent teenager ever with a mythology project, and bein
So I really need to write in this thing. Sometimes I put it off if I don't think I have enough time to write everything I want to write. I've decided I'm going to write as much as possible, even if it's just a little bit. I'm so ready for spring break. I need sleep. I need relaxation. I need to swim. <!-- Ju-Anchor-Footer-End
Life’s been pretty good lately. I did have some problems getting some of my prescriptions refilled earlier this week, though. I’m tired of pharmacies, pharmacists, and paying for meds. But I know God has a reason for everything, and I know all the years of this has/will continue to make me stronger. Back to life being good: I recently “staged a coup” in the Frenc
Hey everyone. I help you enjoy my thoughts, insights, and feelings. Actually, I don't really care what you think.
