april 7

wednesday was a full day of classes and presentations in senior sem started. i go in a week! ah! i had to work phonathon and the team did pretty well. so well in fact that chad (my boss) decided that we could be done this week and not have to extend to next week. after work i went to chili's with balls to support the juvenile diabetes walk that we're participating in.  there were a bunch of sisters there and it was fun to just hang out and relax, especially since graduation is so soon! after that leah talked me into going to triangle for a little. went with her, rob, dave rad, and balls, but i didn't end up staying very long. there were a lot of people and i just wasn't feeling it...

drove back to school on tuesday. i wanted to leave my house by 6:30 am, but didn't get out the door till 6:45 (still not too bad for me, i tend to run late). so funny story. since i had gotten my car i didn't need to put gas in it until i had to leave for school. when my dad had first given me the keys there were all these extra little keys that looked like they went to a safe or something of that nature, so i gave them back to him to give to the guy who we bought the car from. well after i stopped to get my coffee i got onto 81 to head back to school. i stopped about 20 minutes down in lebanon to get gas. i pull up to the gas station and try to take my gas cap off only to realize that it has a lock. those extra little keys that i had given my dad were to unlock the gas cap. i had to call my dad and try to wake him up (it was his day off, thank God) to come to the gas station and bring me the keys. thankfully i was only about 25 mintues from home and not any further. made the drive okay. i stopped in virginia for an hour to see eliza and made it back on campus around 4:30.  that night i went to cru where we did outreach by cleaning three frat houses. it was gross, but it was good. after that i scrubbed until i felt clean again and watched 'the visitor's' for french cinema while eating some ben & jerry's. i figured i deserved a little treat after a crazy day and now i can eat ice cream!

april 5

RITA'S ITALIAN ICE!!!!!!!! one downfall about north carolina is that there are not enough rita's establishments. spent the day hanging out with my mom, she took off work since i was home. we watched 'the pacific' on ondemand. it's a pretty good show! i made my dad go get rita's with me since lent was over and i could have ice cream and since i miss it a lot when i'm at school. it was good!

april 4

Easter Sunday!!!! i don't have a church at home, so i didn't get to go worship, but i got to spend some time with my mom because my brother and dad worked in the morning. we made homemade Belgium waffles with her new waffle iron. then i dyed eggs. yes i'm 22. yes i still dyed eggs. and yes it was fun. :) after my dad and brother got home we ate Easter lunch/dinner and watched 'the hurt locker.' it was a nice relaxing holiday with my family. i'm glad i went home for it...

april 3

saturday = first day at home! it was nice to be home. went grocery shopping with my mom and zak. helped her do some errands and picked up my car. yes i finally have a car! it's a 99 dodge neon, nothing too fancy or exciting, but it's a car. went to target and my mom bought me air fresheners for my car. went over to megan's later to hang out with her, ang, and amanda. i haven't seen all of them since the summer? it was good to catch up.

april 2

i'm home for Easter! i left today with amy around 1:30 and got home around 8:45. it feels nice to be home, even if it is only for a few days. it's nice to be able to relax, although i don't know how much relaxing i'll actually do since i have my senior sem presentation in about a week and a half. i've also started researching different grad schools. i think i want to go for photojournalism/journalism...something in that field. i would prefer photojournalism, but if i can find a journalism program that will allow me to concentrate in photography then that'll work too. the process of growing up and having to make decisions is never ending...

april 1

april fool's day! didn't have any classes because yoga was cancelled. went to yoga in the morning. it was a beautiful day so we ate lunch outside. caitlin, cody, kelly, and me got bored so we came back to my apartment to make some crazy concoction. went to the steak house at 5 with mcgee, emily, sydney, catie, and erica. went to sga, then went to meet about starting acropolis (the greek bible study) back up. the meeting went really well. i'm excited!

march 31

went to class. worked phonathon. same old same old. i've slowly been reading through the old testament. i'm really enjoying it.

march 30

met with abby. went to yoga. it was a really, really nice day so spent some time just sitting outside and enjoying the weather.  i went to zumba with amy and then went to cru. the leadership team had just gotten back from their weekend retreat. they wanted us to focus on prayer more so we spent the meeting breaking up into groups and praying for different things. one of the songs that we sang was 'how deep the father's love' which made me think of when we sang it on project at church and the woman stopped us because we weren't singing it the way she had practiced. haha.

march 29
