Last Time
I'm going home today so that I can work for the last time at Tait Cummins. Cedar Rapids is hosting a national tournament there this weekend and it's going to be really busy - but hopefully not totally crazy. It'll be good to go home and work for a bit, as well as see my parents. I like Iowa.

Friday?
I can't believe it's already Friday. Ridiculous. The first full week of school went well. I'm really excited about all of my classes and everything else that will be going on throughout the year. Three cheers.

NO!
I promised myself I would not procrastinate on anything this term.
Tomorrow [er, today] is the fifth day of school...
... and I've already failed.
At this point, I've deemed procrastination worse than drugs.
Just say no, people.
Just. say. NO.
Gahhh.

Disregard
What a day.
It was unreal.
In a good way, for sure.
But seriously.
Unreal.
God is making me remember Him.
[I'm glad.]
I couldn't tell you how many times I found myself thinking something along the lines of, "Whoaaa... what the heck is going on?!"
God speaks. God appears through people. And it makes life beautiful.

Autumn
It's a beautiful day in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
The sun is shining.
There isn't a cloud in the sky.
My brother's mowing the lawn.
[Frresh-cut grass is one of my favorite smells.]
A slight breeze is stirring the cool air.
... It feels like fall.
And I like it.
I like it a lot.

Five Days
I came home.
Hahahahahaha.
I was at school for five days, and came home.
That's got to be a record.
Well, here's the deal. My new computer battery was sent to my house and I really wanted it for the upcoming week. And I thought it'd be nice to go ahead and pick up the things I left behind instead of waiting until next weekend; I'm working next weekend and it's going to be crazy. I'd probably end up forgetting to get my things entirely! I also wanted to make some cookies for the girls on my floor, since I've been a punk and haven't tried getting to know them yet - which I was actually really excited to do, I've just been occupied with getting my things in order and preparing for classes and catching up with friends from last year. Lame excuses, I know, but seriously. I'm excited to learn about these lovely ladies and know their hearts and Christ in them.
MAN OH MAN. It's going to be such a good year!
Hahahahahaha.

Experiences
I'm excited for new experiences this year - which, I hope, I will have many of.
We'll see.
That's all I've got for now.
I don't much feel like writing today, for whatever reason.
It was a good day, though.
First day of classes... just went through syllabi; kind of boring, but I'm pretty sure my classes will be really good this semester!

Return
Alright, I'm starting this blog back up as well. I started writing again for my So Close blog on August 15, but didn't have as great a desire to start writing again for this one until, well, just now.
Not a lot has happened since July 20... ok, so that's sort of a lie. But I'm not about to go into details. Let's just say I'm glad to be back at Central Christian College of the Bible and can't wait for classes to start tomorrow!
On another note, while I'm elated to be back at Central, I sense something different in regards to quite a few aspects of school. I can't quite put my finger on any of them, though - of course, right? Yes, of course. I don't know, it just feels... off. Well, I do know that one of the biggest things that's bothering me is a couple of friendships (although one in particular) that seem as if they've eroded over the summer. I just don't think things are going to be the same as last year, which I'm pretty bummed about.
So to whom it may concern: I miss you. I haven't seen you since school let out. We didn't even get to say good-bye. And now you're right here. But I miss you more than ever.
Now that I've got that out of my system, let's move on, shall we? I don't know where to go next, though. Hm. That's kind of how I feel about life in general right now. I'm in the here and now, and not really thinking about the future. This is mostly because I don't know anything about what the future holds for me. Which I've come to accept, finally. It's just that I'm having a hard time embracing the fact. Hopefully that makes sense. I don't know where to go next with my life and I don't know exactly which stepping stone to place my foot upon in my walk with God. There are so many to choose from! That's all.
I have a lot going through my mind right now. A million thoughts racing around at a million miles an hour, you know? Typical. Anyway, I'm glad I've decided to start writing blog posts again. It feels good. : )

Chance
Long story short, I'm making a few changes. And taking a few chances.
I was already thinking about not keeping up my other blog [So Close] but if anything, I think I would stop this one. As simplistic and easy as it is, it's just "one more thing to do" before the day ends. And writing posts for it doesn't bring me as much joy as it first did.
So. We'll see. It's not that "I'm done" with it, I just think I'm going to take a break for a bit.
With that said, until later... peace.

Spontaneity
I wish I could be more spontaneous. I really do.
I like the idea of just doing something... just to do it.
Not having to think about it at all...
not the consequences.
not the benefits.
not the what-ifs.
Not having a care in the world fits in nicely with this idea.
If only, if only... right? Oh boy.

Storm
Right now it's raining.
It rained last night, also.
And this morning.
Now, by "raining" I mean pouring.
Raining cats and dogs?
Oh yes.
And zebras and elephants and hippos and lions, too.
Each time it's rained in the past couple days, it's stormed. Which I'm extremely happy about, because I thoroughly enjoy storms. There's just something about the flashes of lightning and the peals of thunder that brings me happiness. Joy, even. I mean, when I was woken up at 5:24 this morning by a thunderclap, I jumped out of my skin, and smiled. I tried to stay awake to listen to the rain and thunder, but I was so tired that I don't think I lasted even a minute. Still. I was glad it was raining and woke up happy.
If I were to live the rest of my life with at least one thunderstorm a week, I wouldn't complain. I can't take too much rain, but a good storm now and then is fantastic! Three cheers.
