columbia

sherry don't read this unless i have called you. :) i want to tell you about life over the phone.

okay, let me start from last weekend.

friday-found out i got RA for stockton. i have already been thinking. too much. i'll try to be studying and i'm already trying to think of how i will decorate the hall. (it won't be much--very simple style.) i've also been thinking about how i will arrange my room. it's ridiculous. i wish my brain could hold off until the summer. i'll have so much time to think about such things. so friday afternoon a group a girls went home with markli and me. we had a relaxing time. we arrived and had dinner. it was delicious. made some dessert. then we watched a movie. i feel asleep very early that night. didn't really watch much of the movie. then the next morning we went downtown for some coffee and sightseeing. after a couple hours of that we came back to have lunch. soon after we headed back to olathe. a couple girls had to be back that night. it was a short trip, but it was nice. they loved seeing columbia. it is a great place.

saturday evening i hung out with bethany(last year roommate). it was very fun. we went to the plaza and split a pizza at california pizza kitchen. went window shopping then topped the night off with some coldstone ice cream.

sunday i got up early to work out. went the the 11 o'clock traditional service at college church. i actually really liked it. it was a good nazarene structured service. ha. but really, i enjoyed it. that evening i had a choir concert at a church.

monday was a full day. i took the CBASE (test for getting into the Elementary Education program). hope it went well.

today i woke up to rain. went to chapel. speaker was good. todd bowman. he is one of the professors but also counsels here. i always enjoy it when those guys speak. then i had lunch. went to my one class of the day. target afterwards. then came back to my room to make some coffee and i also vacuumed. a very mellow day. it has been wonderful.

spring break is next week. i will be vacationing to my home. i am making myself a budget for the week. i will visit places i have never been to in columbia. it will be very nice. at the end of the week beau and suzie and madelyn will also be visiting. i cannot wait to hold that little baby niece of mine. :)

as for the job search. i think i am just going to stick with baby sitting for the rest of the semester. honestly, it is nice not having to go to work in the evenings. i'm not making money, but i'll be fine.
