Inspired by Molly Piper.
1. At Yogurtouille, I get half regular vanilla yogurt and half fruit tart, mochi on top, and whatever various toppings catch my eye that day. Usually strawberries. 🙂
2. I have a strange love for Novice recently, and pretty much all their songs, but especially I Could Say and Tonight.
3. Also, for the Goo Goo Dolls.
4. I am very excited for all the weddings coming up in the next 10 months or so!
5. There are days when I really wish I was away at school, living in a dorm or an apartment, but there are other days when I couldn’t imagine not being here.
6. I park my car in the exact same spot everyday outside my house, and if someone happens to be parked there, I am not a happy camper.
7. Sarah and I park pretty far away from our first class of the day every morning, but I really don’t mind because we get to walk it together 🙂
8. I loathe doing homework like readings and analyzing. Give me busy work, pleaseee.
9. Everytime I see a skateboard, I wish I could skateboard.
10. This summer, I am going to learn to ollie. That is all I want.
11. I get scared that boys like, like me, when I don’t like them, and that everything will just turn into a really awkward mess. And hey, it usually does!
12. I am guilty of loving scummy country songs, like How Do You Like Me Now? And Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue. And Summertime. And When the Sun Goes Down. And Something Like That. And oh there are so many more.
13. I would give a lot to go back and relive those summers with Jessica, spent taking over the world from Menlo Park to San Jose. From Pajaro Dunes, to Naks, to bowling with our boyfriends, we were unstoppable.
14. I don’t have my own laptop.
15. My biggest fear is that I won’t get into any nursing programs, and then hey, I’ll really be here forever.
16. I looooove warm nights.
17. When I put my mind to something, I can get it done. But I may forget about 100 other things in the process.
18. Awkward? I need to say that more often.
19. Our first summer at Hume Lake SD, I put on a Mexican male accent every time we were in our dorm building.
20. I LOVE organized fun.
21. But if it’s organized fun that is inevitably organized boredom, you’ll lose me in 10 seconds to whoever I can text first.
22. Sometimes, I just like to go home.
23. I wish everyone would read my blog haha.
24. BUT, not people who I don’t know, that decide to post the link to Facebook for the whole world to see. BLAST.
25. I have seriously considered bringing my own couch to the CAD house so that I can always have it reserved and waiting for me everytime I come in. Oh, and it would always be clean.
26. At 15, my friend Chase sat me down with his guitar and played me Stupid Boy by Keith Urban. I broke up with my boyfriend the next day.
27. I am a sucker for cookies.
28. I can’t work out! I have no motivation right now to go to the gym. If only my dad would uncover the machines in our garage.
29. I want to move downstairs, so bad. But it won’t happen.
30. I love pictures.
31. I am scared of dark places at night. One of them being my front yard, because of a certain traumatic experience over the summer where people were hiding in my front yard.
32. Every. Single. Day. I drive into Overlook Court to turn around.
33. I don’t know what it feels like to live on flat ground. I’d be like HOW DO I PARK?! Which way do I curb my wheels!?!? I don’t?!?
34. My life as improved significantly since blogging entered it.
35. If God graces me with a child, I want to name it Micah. Girl or boy hahah.
36. I hope the people in my life right now, are in it forever 🙂
37. Someday, I want to be as straightforward and honest about the Gospel as possible. Alot like Jeni Thomas!
38. I often break into song.
39. Sometimes, my favorite thing to do when I’m with someone, is sit in silence. If your friendship can handle sitting in silence, you are good.
40. Spontaneity is key!
“Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades. Neverending, Your glory goes beyond all fame. And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise, from the inside out Lord my soul cries out to You.”
“5This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1st John 1:5-9
“Nothing is impossible for You, for You hold my world in Your hand. I believe You’re my healer, I believe You are all I need. I believe You’re my portion, I believe You’re more than enough for me. Jesus, You’re all I need.”
Good morning! 🙂
Happy birthday, Mom.
I just want to go to bed. But instead, I am awake, waiting for midnight, when I can register for my classes for this summer and the fall. I think I’m going to take the computer to my room, fall asleep, wake up at 11:55 and then register for these darn classes. My schedule for the fall semester might be the craziest thing I have ever seen. I am taking pilates though, which I am excited for. But I may end up dropping out of it before the semester begins.
My schedule for the fall semester is as follows.
Monday – Physiology 11:10 to potentially 4.
Tuesday – Sociology 100 8:10 to 9:25, Psychology 200 9:45 to 11, and Speech 100 11:10 to 12:25.
Wednesday – Physiology 11:10 to 12:25.
Thursday – Sociology 100 8:10 to 9:25, Psychology 200 9:45 to 11, and Speech 100 11:10 to 12:25.
So Mondays and Wednesdays I would be at Canada, and Tuesdays and Thursdays would be at CSM. And I didn’t even put Pilates up there, but it would be MWF from 9:10 to 10. So if I don’t take it, you guessed it, I have absolutely nothing on Fridays! And would start at 11, then 8, then 11, and then 8. It seems like a fun schedule to me, but at the same time so different from what I am used to, that I don’t know how well I will be able to adapt at first.
I am also taking Anatomy over this coming summer, from June 22nd to July 30th, Monday through Thursday from 9:10 to 1:30. It will be intense, there is no doubt of that, but I think it will really help me to get closer to my goal of being out of CSM in 2 years. It is not a guarantee of course, but it gives a little stability and flexibility at the same time, by getting a crucial class finished and opening up units for courses that may help pad my transfer application. All of this school talk is making me ridiculously exhausted. Ever since the cruise, the geriatric side of my 18 year old mentality is taking over, and I just want to sleep all the time.
My mom asked me today if I was ever going to go away to school, because apparently it seems like I’m never leaving. I’ve been hear a year mom, not even, it hasn’t been that long. Someone just wants me gone as soon as possible. Ruuuude.
Maybe I’ll just stay around forever.
P.S. We need to cut and dye my hurrrr.
With summer approaching yet again, I am facing a challenge. But I am excited for it! Sort of.
Something that I hear God’s voice calling me to do is to observe. Everytime I sit and contemplate how events in my life have played out, I am floored. I have been realizing recently that as I have tried to wait for God’s timing in even the littlest aspects of my life, so many amazing things have come of it. He has been completely faithful to this young woman, growing her when she didn’t deserve to be grown, and revealing truths to her that change her constantly.
1. I am small. My last week of island hopping through the Caribbean was a beautiful experience. It was God alone that kept the largest ship in the world afloat while I rock climbed and mini golfed on board in the middle of the ocean. There is so much going on in this world, from the Creole speaking, canoe rowing, conk shell selling natives of Haiti, to every laugh in the CAD house. And the truth is, He is in control of all of it, and I am but a small detail in His world. It’s not about me. It’s about him.
2. Nothing is important enough to come before my relationship with Him. The fact that the Father sent his Son should put me on my face before Him, in awe of the grace that was shown to me. The fact that He gives us the opportunity to know Him is like, what?!? We get to read about Him? We get to feel His presence in every beautiful moment and every hard time? We get to know Him??? This should never cease to amaze me, and my relationship with Him should be always first priority.
3. If the Lord wants us together, He will make it happen in His time. Can you say, hardest truth to accept for me? Everything is so back in forth that I am just involved in a mess. It hurts, and I am confused on what is best for me to do right now, but I am going with a safe option. Let it be. Jesus is who my eyes should be focused upon, and whether that young man is going to be in my life is in His hands. As I follow Him, it will all fall into place.
4. Being broken is beautiful. ❤
That I wish I could write.
For so long I have been looking for reasons to keep you in my life, for that last saving characteristic or action that gives the smallest hint that you would still be a positive influence in my life and on my heart. But I am at a point right now where it’s finally hitting me that some people are not meant to be there in my circle of people I can keep so close. So as I have been searching and praying for God to make known why I should keep you in my daily life, I have not been asking Him if. I have kept my eyes and heart focused on searching for affirmation and for characteristics that would make me want to keep you around, and in doing so, let all the things that hurt me pass me by. So perhaps, it is not His best for you to be there.
Au revoir.
I am leaving for Miami early tomorrow morning, and then leaving for the Caribbean on a cruise from there Saturday afternoon. I’ll be back next Saturday afternoon/evening. I am pretty not excited right now actually, and I kind of wish I was staying home for the rest of my spring break, and also not missing any school. But that is not the case.
So everyone, have fun without me 😦 I wish I could be here. I will miss home alot.
P.S. Congratulations to us for sticking with our 40 Days of Water! It ends in approximately 12 minutes. Good job ladies 🙂
P.S.S. I’ll try to come back at least a tiny bit darker than my current shade of pale.
If you haven’t watched “Kittens Inspired by Kittens” on YouTube, please just watch it. It may brighten your day, week, month, but probably year.
I slept for almost ten hours last night, and it was very nice. But at 3:57 I was SO awake, I didn’t know what to do with myself. So I was awake for a good twenty minutes, staring at the ceiling, listening to Alexis in her tank. She is so loud at nights. I think I’ll move her outside, make a TV show out of it. “Crayfish Vs. Extreme Conditions” For some reason, I don’t think she would survive.
My oldest brother came home tonight to do his taxes. Really, can you not do your taxes at your own home? I am still waiting for his girlfriend to ask me to be her Maid of Honor. I am also waiting for him to propose to her haha. So I guess it could be a while before my first request comes to fruition…
I have nothing to write.
Pwease? Pwetty pwease?
Only two more days. Two more shifts at CPK, one being tonight which I am quite frustrated about because I specifically told them months ago that I can only work two days a week, and scheduling me for three really isn’t acceptable. Two more days of class until I get to hang around San Mateo for a week, then spend a night in Miami, and then spend a week on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. I am beyond excited.
Having dinner with Ashley friday night, always very fun and informative 🙂 love her. My nails are growing, which is really good. 40 days of water is coming along, pretty hard recently, and Angela and I did break it for Patrick and Emily’s engagement toast, but then started again. It was a good 2 minutes out of our 40 days.
Also, we busted out the Nikon 6006 of Dave’s that I’m taking to the Caribbean with me and took some cool pictures yesterday. It was fun. We may have found a new summer hobby. Especially with the new D90 SLR on the way.
Have I mentioned how much I love Extreme Makeover Home Edition? Pretty much everyday, I watch it. And I am obsessed with it.
Went to the YoungLife Banquet on Monday night with Jessica, Ashley, Amber, Mark, Claudia, Cheryl, and Chad. It was really fun, lots of funny moments. I love YoungLife’s idea of going out and meeting people kids exactly where they are.
Going to work in like 45 minutes. Hopefully it will be nice and slow for the night.
Bye bye booskiis.
Or should I say, booksies…
🙂
