Dorm Life...

This is weird. Seriously. I'm a freshman at Simpson...who would have thought? Not I. So I'm sitting in my dorm room and it's definitely surreal. I'm not quite sure how I'm feeling. It's like, I'm new because I'm a freshman but I've been here at Simpson since I was 8 years old...so I'm way old. I don't know anyone but I feel like because I'm not so new, I don't have that in common with other freshman. I feel different. It's an odd feeling...

I'm gonna see if the roommates wanna go get food...

peace.

my mac book came TODAY!

and I'm so excited! it's beautiful and amazing and i have no idea how to work it!
short blog, but i want to play!

All I have to say...

It's Thursday morning and I am so freaking awake. I fell asleep last night at 7pm and woke up this morning at 7:30am. So amazing...

Today is my last day of work. It's so weird. This is my 3rd summer working 40 hours a week. and I would work everyday after school for 4 hours during the year. Shasta Professional Eye Care became my life for the better portion of high school and now I'm just done? Crazy. They're buying me pie and we're celebrating or not really celebrating. These women have become like my aunts. Every time we talk about my leaving one of them starts crying. I'll honestly miss them, a lot.

My Macbook is supposed to be here today! Finally!!!! The whole tracking thing is so confusing though, I thought it came yesterday and I was freaking out and down stairs talking to the front desk ladies at Simpson...a little ticked because I thought it had said it was delivered at sign for at 10:22 am and they had no clue where it was, when actually it was my iPod that was delivered on Monday. Haha. I felt like just a jerk. But I doubled checked the tracker right now and it says it should be delivered TODAY, the 28th!

My next blog will be via mac. Can't wait. I'll probably have one of the fabulous iPhoto self portraits too! ahhh!! I'm so excited.

No more FooFoo Fridays...

What are FooFoo Fridays you ask? and why are they no more?

Every Friday at the Eye doctor we order coffee drinks, foo foo ones, like gross blended drinks. Sometimes the doc's even buy them for us...sweet deal. And since this is my last Friday at the office it is my last Foo Foo Friday ever. Sad thought. But I'm so ready to be done!!!

And now that it is the weekend I have a few goals that I have to accomplish...

- Clean my room, I thought about posting a picture of how disorganized my room is but it would probably make Anna Moseley go into cardiac arrest. Let my just say...it's like 3 feet high (not an exaggeration) with clothes and purses and shoes and blankets. No dirty just horribly messy.

- After cleaning my room, I need to do some seriously laundry.

- Organize all my clothes and decide what going over the the other dorm with me and what's staying with my parents.

- Paint, it's been to long and I'm feeling kind of inspired!

- Call my best friend, we haven't seriously talked in like a month.

So not too much that needs to be done, but enough that I may procrastinate and never end up doing...

Have a great weekend friends!!!

Lunchtime!

I'm sitting at my new favorite lunch spot, Blendz...seriously amazing salads and smoothies! I'm on my lunch break, yep, back to work...my last full week! So crazy! I've decided that I'm not going to work this semester...school and church are my number one priorities and I need to devote all my time to them. So its nerve racking, I've had a job for 2 and half years and now I will be a poor college student!

Anyway...camped at the coast this weekend! It was awesome! I'm definitely glad to be home...its hard for me to be around 10 crazy people for 3 days straight with no time to myself. But it was fun and beautiful and I fell in love with Arcata and the Co-Op!

Here's some pics...

Tomorrow I Camp!

Tomorrow me and 11 of my close friends are going to the big lagoon at Patrick's Point for a camping trip! It's going to be INSANE! It's been over a year since I camped and I have never been to Patrick's Point! I'm so amped!

I'm taking a break from packing, even though I'm not bringing much...I'm ruffing it....I hate packing. I never know what to bring and I always forget something!

It will be nice to get out of Redding and the crazy hot heat for a few days...especially after this long week. But I'm trying to stay positive!

Good things about this week...

-Sunday - the Stirring was awesome. I'm way excited about this new series.
- Monday - Had coffee with Tyler, great conversation. I think we sat in front of Starbucks for 2 hours...
-Tuesday - Devil Wears Prada and Norma Jean show in Chico, nuff said.
-Wednesday - Watched "Smart People" at Shelby Schwitter's. Good movie, enjoyed it tremendously. The perfect balance of humor and "thinkingness"...you know, one of those movies that makes you thing.
-Thursday - Bike ride at 8am this morning with Christian, Kendall and Cory. I parked my car at work, rode to sundial to meet them, rode the complete loop of the River Trail. Had some complications with my bike, like it's ridiculously heavy and so hard to ride and i accidentally went off a curb and a bungee cord got wrapped around my back tire. I was only 15 minutes late to work, which I was pretty proud of. Dusten is building my a road bike! I can't wait! It'll be so much nicer than my cruiser!!!

So that was my week so far, not too bad I guess.

I'll be back from camping on Sunday, just in time for set up!



PS. This is my best friend Stephanie. She turned 20 yesterday and I'm so bummed I couldn't be down in Huntington Beach to celebrate with her! She's awesome and I miss her like crazy!

Shalom!

everything in the world is as it should be...

i had one of those moments today, actually a few...

i went down to chico with some friends, for no reason other than getting out of town. we didn't do anything spectacular. we rode our bikes across the whole town. through fountains, through busy streets, on sidewalks with no destination. marvelous. i bought a bike, a road bike, for 10 dollars at a garage sale. my cruiser is just too heavy, i love it, but it's not to practical for redding.

i drove home with my friend whitney and we talked and time just flew. we rolled into redding at around 6:30, grabbed some chipotle for heather smith and went to her house.

we sat and talked for a few hours and then we just started worshiping. whitney lead us with an unplugged electric and it was perfect. just the three of us. perfect.

i love days like this, no real agenda, just seeing how things turn out.

my apoligies...i'm a horrible blogger

Life's so crazy right now, so it's not like I don't have anything to blog about...I just don't have to time or brain power to blog about it.

Since my last post I...

Have registered for housing/classes at Simpson. I finally get to experience Shaefer for myself! I'm only taking 13 units just to get my feet wet, to see if Simpson is really where I supposed to be.

I quit my job! I'm at the point where I'm relieved and ready for what's next but also freaking out because I have no idea what's next. Scary!

I decided I want to move to Nashville, sometime...I don't know when. But I am going to live there at some point in my life and I will have a sweet southern drawl and I'll come back to Redding with my cute folk singer songwriter husband (I swear he's there I just have to find him! HA!) And no one will even recognize me. But seriously, can't get Nashville off the mind...

That's basically it with a few other crazy things thrown in that I don't feel like blogging or thinking about...BUT I promise my next blog won't be in like a month!

Shalom.
