Indifference
So lately my world has been turned upside down thrown over the edge of
reason and plopped down to have a nice talk with a wise little holy man
on a mountain top, we haven't spoken yet but yesterday he winked....
seriously though, if you haven't heard from me it's becaue i'm a busy girl and yes, i'm irresponsible and have a hard time keeping up with life... i need to send a shout out to all my friends and family who have been there for me lately... you know who you are... and to all of those who i've managed to loose touch with but are still very dear to me and always close to my heart.
if you haven't talked to me lately then i'll clue you in a little...
i'm back at saginaw valley for my last semester of classes. next semester i'll be student teaching (i don't know where yet, but probably somewhere in bay city).
due to chaos in my personal life, i've thrown myself into a lot of extracurricular activities involving the university... i work at the Valley Vanguard now, our school paper, as a staff writer. (That's right, i'm a journalist, and they're actually paying me for my words!!! lol) i'm on Cardinal Sins editorial staff... it's a magazine consisting of SVSU student/facutly/staff creative writing and photography/artwork that is publised biannually by students/faculty/staff of SVSU... we just had our submissions deadline for our fall issue so i have lots of fun reading to do! i'm on a committe that is writing a grant and organizing a creative writing camp for this following summer... i recently picked up another side tutoring job once a week with a 5th grader needing help with her writing skills, i just joined a new organization on campus called Students for Political Awareness (thanks to swenja) and yes, i still work at the svsu writing center 15 hours a week... oy... lots of work, but i promise... it's lots of fun! no, i'm not trying to draft a resume, i just figured everyone might want to know why i'm horrible at calling them back and keeping in contact with them! haha.
i'm currently living with two fabulous women and two cats. we also have a few honorary fifth, sixth, and seventh roomies (the entertaining and fantastic men we've befriended/boyfriended) who hang out at our place consistently. our place is right on bay road so commuting from off campus hasn't been so bad this semester, or at least not so bad until the snow gets here! amee and amanda (the women, not the cats) are just as busy as i am but we get to chill and go out to the bars once in awhile and see eachother at school where we're involved in the same activities and jobs.
i'm still playing guitar... hopefully will be singing soon in Buck's band (my roomie amanda's bf's band)... when i have some free time i sleep lol or go rollerblading cuz i want to keep this fab figure i gained in europe... hmm what else... i mostly hang out with my roomies including the adopted ones (Thomas, Buck, andMark K.) ... Marcus stopped on by Michigan last week and that was definitely my highlight of September (thanks Marcus, i love ya bud)! i hadn't seen him for over four months so i was starting to go in withdrawal.
if you're worried about the chaos in my life that i've mentioned earlier, don't. it'll work its way out in time and with a little help from God. did i mention that i've become a million times stronger in my faith? actually, i think i just opened my eyes to the faith i've always had but didn't know i had... mom always said i looked at the world through rose colored glasses but really i think it was the "faith like a child" that has always had me smiling through life.
hopefully i can write in this joural more often... i have a feeling i'll be venting more than anything... but hey, what's a journal for if you can't use it to say all the things you don't have the guts to say in "real life" lol
