...this feeling inside." -

it's amazing how much precious time a single person can spend doing something completely useless when there are tasks at hand which should be done...tasks such as,
hmm...homework?
well it's the first
monday of the new school year(technically
tuesday now) and it has been quite a day. aerobics at 7:15am, chapel, digital imaging, history of modern art, work, and women in art which ends at 8:55pm. to top it all off it was my roommate's(
rachel) birthday!
i'm in no way complaining - i had a fabulously filled day! there are some days you wish would just be over already, but today was not one of those days.
a surprise birthday party was attempted to be thrown together by
rachel's mentor this
friday when she e-mailed me asking to ask some of her friends to come over. so this
morning before aerobics i dropped off cake mix and eggs at her friend's apartment and went on with my day. she went out to dinner with some friends while i was still in class and while out i got some other people to come over and surprise her when she got back. so it turned out nicely and she was only slightly suspicious this afternoon. in the end we pulled it off pretty well
with such late notice and mediocre planning skills.
i'm going back down to
mexico this
friday and
saturday for a weekend visit to the site i worked at this past spring. i haven't had a chance to get all that excited yet(not that i ever show it outwardly) but
i'm sure i will get there.
i've seen most of the people from my team around school which has been very fun indeed. i visited the apartment of two of the guys today on my way to work and i must say that they make me smile long after i have left their physical presence. :) i am proud to call them friends. aka be jealous they give me hugs. haha
my classes are energizing!
i'm excited about the projects ahead of me...granted it will be difficult to juggle several classes with multiple projects going on all at once, i am ready to embrace the near future. my creative juices are really starting to flow...
chapel has also impressed me so far this semester. either chapel in fact has improved, or i have matured in my walk with Christ...maybe both. we sang this song today which i feel both encouraged me and challenged me:
You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand
So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the
One who gave it all
So I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
so now that i've successfully procrastinated yet another hour of my time(although this was much more productive) i shall return to the duty of a scholar at a wonderful institution of higher education and learning.
happy tuesday! :D
