assistant. i would like to think RA life is the only thing making my life so busy. it's really quite the combination of things. class, work, relational/social events, RA, teaching practicum(s), homework, sleep, baby-sitting that comes up, intramural games (i'm playing a little softball), friends, ah so much. i really am loving it. it's becoming a little overwhelming though. when i start to get overwhelmed i just have to remember i CAN have peace about it.

today i went with a friend to a church to babysit--i made 50 bucks for 2 1/2 hrs. holla.

bethany and i have hung out a lot this year. it's great and wonderful. we go walking because we love it. we update each other daily on our lives.

days are moving so fast. already the month of october. i love autumn. beau and suzie and madelyn and mom and dad are coming for homecoming. that will be a lot of fun. i love going to football games. MNU is 5-0.

i have done a lot of reflecting lately and it is crazy seeing how much i have grown up and changed since freshman year. it is encouraging. patience is always something i have to work on. just the waiting type of patience.

today i decided i was going to get caught up on personal things. like responding to emails from dear friends, updating my blog, calling loved ones, not doing any homework today and going to bed early after my intramural softball game. right now i am sitting in starbucks, with my friend andria, drinking a soy pumpkin spice chai latte, listening to some jimmy eat world. it is delish.

hopefully i can keep my blog updated now. i hope everyone is having a lovely day or night.

love love love,

maresa
