Well, it's just about finals season again.  In between now and then, I have two more papers (one for extra credit), a test, and registration.  Why am I in college again?

Instead of doing ASL like I originally planned or Spanish like my mother so desperately wants, I'll be attempting to take French in the fall.  I've always wanted to learn it- even though my mother will probably say for the rest of my life that I won't be able to use it anywhere.  For international relations, we have to choose a region of the world to specialize in (ummm all of them?), and I'm thinking Africa would be cool.  A lot of African countries used to be French colonies, right?  Justification.  Anyway, if anyone is good at French and wants to help me out, that would be totally cool.  Just saying.  I'll be doing math and science for education majors, and then I'll get to do some fun history classes for international relations.  I was really stressed out about getting all the classes I wanted, but then I realized that God'll put me in the classes where I need to be, not the ones I want to be.

In other news, the BSM banquet is Friday, so that'll be fun.  I'm really digging all these end of the year events.  Except then I'm going to have to go back to Houston and none of my friends will be nearby.  #collegeproblems

Anyway.  My life has been pretty boring.  Hope yours has been more interesting and good!

Obsession of the weekend.

Happy Easter, y'all!

As a poor college student who has a paper and three tests coming up this week, I did not get to go home.  I instead went to Stone along with thousands of my closest friends.  Then I went and ate some leftover spaghetti at my friend's apartment.  Holla.

I don't know a lot, but I do know Easter is the celebration of a beautiful, offensive, tragic miracle.  It's overwhelming and completely satisfying.  Jesus died so I could live.  It wasn't at a time when I was ready.  My life is constantly messy and not worthy of being saved.  But out of gratitude, awe, and love, I'm going to use this life, bought at such high a price, to glorify Him.  Ya dig?
