it's a bittersweet symphony, that's life

Boy am I busy this semester. I like it! I started working in the nursery of a church last Sunday. The kids are so adorable and fun. Even when they're wailing. I also volunteered at this thing called Smart Start, which is an afterschool program in this rough neighborhood in north austin. there's this organization that is trying to build it up, and the after school program is one of the ways they intend to do it. i liked that a lot too. I'm sad I can only give one afternoon a week to it. this is going to be a good semester.

i figured out the living situation. God keeps confirming it for me, even when little doubts creep in. I know it's going to be awesome. that stress is out of my life.

other than that, there's not a whole lot going on. I learned tonight that it's amazing how long bitterness and anger can be pushed aside and suppressed but it's still there. i talked to an old friend, and it got tense. it's been like a year since there's been any stuff between us, mostly because we barely talk, him living far away and all. well, it wasn't good, but it was at the same time. we both just got some stuff out that needed to be out. I don't think we're really going to talk anymore, but I think that's for the best. insert lyrics of "how to save a life" by the fray here.

i wish more exciting stuff happened to me. oh a few nights ago i got pulled over on campus for forgetting to turn my headlights on. i swear it felt like an episode of cops. after the cop got all my stuff, he was gone for like at least 10 minutes. allison was with me and we were parked outside my dorm. so for ten minutes we sit there with this bright light shining into the car. at one point this lady cop came with a flashlight and looked in the back seat. she then proceeded to stand there with her arms folded. creepy. i think there were like three police cars there and they kept their lights o nthe whole time. people would look into my car as they walked by and just laugh. it was one of the funniest experiences of my life.

that's all i got. goodnight. peace and love.
