Hi everyone! Its been so nice to see everyone else updating (and then realizing that I haven't updated in almost two weeks).Well, ok, let's "debrief" my last week here (gosh darn I love that word, debrief):
Had three midterms, got one back the other day and found out I received a C grade, which is fine because I don't give a damn about the grade just so long as I PASS this quarter. I am not going to be miss overachiever this quarter.
Received back my Child Issue paper and got an A (HOORAY that balances out the C midterm grade)
I hate my American Realism English class because the material is so damn boring. I HATE it.
I also don't like my C.S. Lewis class because the teacher is really really frustrating in his teaching methods. You know how sometimes having the wrong teacher teach a subject just ruins it for you? That's how it is for me. Poor C.S. Lewis, it's not his fault. I figure someday, I will come back to those books and reread them for my own pleasure with the influence of a frustrating teacher who goes off tangents and doesn't even talk about the things that he puts on tests....
Wednesday Paul came with my to my bible study class and that was good....he spent the night and then yesterday we had fun on the way to his house, we went to Third Place Books (OMG THAT STORE IS AMAZING AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!!!!!!!) and then we got to his house and made goat curry and his friend Luke came over (Luke is so cool - he's going to Morocco for three months, lucky duck) for a bit and then we ate and then we made brownies too. Then I had to leave to pick my mom up from work, and my mom and I went shopping at Ann Taylor Loft and I bought a cute dress and belt (the dresses there are all on sale for 39 bucks, so I figured I should take advantage because the dress I bought would actually be 83 bucks normally) and the belt is wonderful but was also expensive...but at least I know I will have it for the next twenty years....
Paul is one of the blessings in my life that keeps me going strong - I'm so grateful I have him in my life. Did you know we're going on TEN MONTHS? Isn't that wild?!! So much has happened, but I don't regret a minute with Paul, he's this big huge light in my life, and he keeps me going, and makes me want to keep improving myself too, because its right and good and what God desires for me too.
Went to bed late last night which is something I have been doing lately -I've been having bad nightmares. I hate that.
Did I mention I got my glasses? They're snazzy. :) Its amazing how much of my distance vision I have actually LOST, its a bit scary for me becuase I've always thought I've had great vision. I am now joined the four eyed population out there. Paul thinks they make me look sexier than ever. hahha. Who knew?
Finally saw a neurologist about my headaches and I have to go get some herbal supplements to try to prevent them (riboflavin, magnesium, and apparently fish oil help to reduce headaches!) because he really doesn't want to just give me a pill - this is why I think this doctor is awesome because he encourages any natural way to prevent headaches for me. So cool and he cares about me. Nice awesome doctor who I don't hate. :) Not all doctors are bad.
Trying to make it through school....it just takes up so much of my life that I feel unbalanced in a way, trying to do the work and keep up with everything is really difficult. Some of you have been praying for me and even though I complain about school so much, I really REALLY appreciate you praying for me, because I can feel them lifting me up and keeping me afloat, and it means so much to me that you would take some time out of your very busy schedules to pray for me. I love you guys! If you could just keep praying for me, that I get to the finish line and graduate on time and pass these classes, I would appreciate it. If there's anything you guys need too, let me know!
We need to all hang out soon though. I wish the weather was better so we could go hiking. Maybe we could do a hangout sometime soon?
