It is 11:52 am. I'm giving myself exactly 10 mins to post. If I get to 10 mins and have to stop mid-sentence, you'll just have to wait until my next free morning :)
Been a while since my last post. Things are busy. Super busy. And it's not even to the busiest part of my season yet. Why do I get the feeling that this semester may be a near-death experience?
Things I've noticed recently:
- Nothing ever stays the same. Christine's baby, Nicholas was baptized the other day and at the reception Halley kept talking about how she wants to have a baby. Lordy. I have to keep reminding myself that it's ok -- everybody takes life at their own pace. If I were to get married and have a baby right now, it would be such a struggle for me personally and a complete re-direction of everything that the Lord has called me to right now. Not to mention that I have to find a partner first... one thing at a time, right?? It just feels weird because my closest girlfriends have already completed the first step and I feel like I'm still back at the starting gate.
- There is no snow. It makes me super sad. This winter is not a winter. Spring and summer will not be appreciated the same way without it.
- St. Louis is a great place to live. I've often wondered at people who grow up here, stay here for school, and then never leave. Or people who grow up here, go away for school, and come back. And yet, that's what I did. Because for all it's parochialism, it's an extremely family-oriented, arts-friendly town. And we have a good highway system. I just wish people would learn how to drive.
Two minutes to go.
Things I accomplished in the last 12 hours:
- Vacuumed out my car -- I was kind of enthralled with myself about that one. There is nothing like a clean car. Especially since I spend half my waking life in there.
- Watched half a disc of HIMYM Season 6
- Went grocery shopping
- Started a load of laundry
- Made a new batch of chicken soup -- this is a good one
- Entered receipts in QB and caught up on my banking
- Talked to one of my best friends on the phone for roughly 10 mins
- Read roughly 4 chapters of Pride and Prejudice for the class I'm in...
Welp, that's it. Time's up. Actually it's 12:03. So I cheated by a minute. Eh. There are worse things in the world...
Oh yeah... and it's February. One of my favorite months of the year. January, February, June, and November.
