a little long...
So my parking permit STILL has not arrived which leaves me worried since I move in, in TWO days. I'm calling them later today or tomorrow, I honestly just have too much other stuff to do to worry about it right at this moment. Plus if worst comes to worst, I can park on the street till I get my permit.
The laundry and packing ahead plus the studying has me close to tears but I press on. I know that if I make sure not to go anywhere I can actually get all this done in time to breathe for a few moments before diving headfirst into moving back to Athens and training, which of course I am more than excited about. I can't wait to share the experience with all of my friends in Brumby from last year, I can't wait to make new friends and I am beyond ecstatic that I will get to share this with Shawna and Patrick as well. Life will be pure bliss, you know other than all the work we have to do but I ache to be that busy again. This is also the year I need to apply to study abroad and hopefully my plan of going to Argentina will be met.
So Jen called me yesterday and told me she realized there was a God. Now intially I was selfish enough to say things like "what do you want me to do?", "what does this mean for me?". Because she told me she might be going through a period of withdrawal in her life to figure out what was going on and if she should continue the way her life is or change it. What makes me nervous is that her father is uber conservative and she goes to his church all of the time and she now views church as a learning experience, which is good but I got the fear that she would call me up one day and tell me that she felt being a lesbian was against what God wants for her. However as we started to talk more and more I got excited for this new development, and as I talked to a couple other people, (love to Shawna and Paige), I realized that my role should be a supportive one and that this really isn't about me at all. Jen told me that I needed to understand if she did feel like she needed to make a choice between me and God, she would choose God and I told her I wouldn't want her to pick me if she felt she had to make that choice. And I wouldn't want her to pick me, because if I felt the same way I would pick God over her too. She thanked me for my support, once I made my support clear and then told me that she was happy she could talk to me about it and I'm happy she feels that comfortable with me. And I hope in the best possible way that I can help her grow in her relationship to God.
Other than all of that of course, life is good. My mom turned 50 on Saturday which blows my mind, I mean it's my mom, since when is she getting that old. We had fun we went to a comedy club and had dessert with her friend at Bahama Breeze. I'm proud of my mom and how well she's doing.
Well of to clean, pack, study and probably call Parking Services, oh joy.
