Another Update, So You Know I Am Still Alive

Here I am again with only 18 more days until school is over. There are a lot of you I really miss, but fear not, I will soon be free of school work. I just wanted to say that things are going pretty so so. I have a lot of work to do and very little time to do it. I would suggest steering clear of me for those next 18 days….my answer to just about everything will, or at least should be, "no" anyway. On the brighter side I am really enjoying being a part of the Jr. Higher’s Mortar Groups, at which I am one of the leaders. Those kids are nuts! but at the same time pretty entertaining and definitively worthwhile. Well, tomorrow I need to put together a case statement for the church, say a prayer for me….I will probably be pulling my hair out throughout. God Bless.

Just a Lackluster Update

So I guess I lied when I said I wouldn’t update this until mid March…so how do you like the music? A bit strange wouldn’t you say? Well guess what? Strange is fun…so just relax and attempt to enjoy. Anyway, school is going so-so. I aced my History midterm and completely and utterly bombed my Organizational Development midterm- “you got to take the wins with the losses,” my brother said. First time in my UW career I have done this bad on an exam though. My only worry is that this will hurt my chances of graduate school. On the bright side, I need to humble myself a bit and that is what this failing showed me. Not to mention worst case scenario is that I just end up with a Bachelors degree, should graduate school become out of reach...I could live with that. My life has been taking some interesting turns lately though, mostly with realization of myself and the people around me. Human beings are so complex and fascinating, the things we battle or except in ourselves…wow. Not to mention the new people in my life…again, wow…didn’t see that coming, but I am enjoying the diversity. So yeah, anyway, now that midterms are over I will start working on the churches grant proposal this week. I really hope this thing comes together beautifully; it would be so nice to help the church out financially with this purposeful act of philanthropy. Oh! speaking of philanthropy, I updated the entry “The Bravern Bellevue.” Some new shops have been released- most noteworthy of which, Ferragamo. So yeah, I am still insanely busy so please avoid calling me until mid March…ok, maybe one call would be nice though…but that’s it! All right, hope you Valentines Day was better than mine and have a nice week, God Bless.
