oh, how time flies.

it has been almost a month since the last post.
that means that the semester is now half way done.
and i am 1/4 of the way through my last year of undergrad.
oh, how time flies.

So, what has happened in the past month?
A lot of work. A lot of school. A lot of studying. A lot of Cru. Very little sleep. Working at Zumberge and at Target definitely keeps me beyond busy, but I'm very thankful for two jobs (plus the occasional babysitting). School is insane... My "easy blow-off class" has become the one I spend the majority of my time on. Thankfully, my exams are spread out so I have one every week. The downside to this is that I don't have an "off week" at all. But, I am managing, for the most part... I only have had one night where I got less than two hours of sleep haha. Cru has also been very overwhelming in addition to all of the other stuff I have going on, but fall retreat was this past weekend, and it was so so so great. It was just a refreshing time to be with friends, focus on my relationship with God and spend time with Him without the distractions of school and work. Another wonderful bonus about the weekend? Some of the Dutch staff from Agape were there! It was so good to see them again, and hearing them talk with their Dutch accents was spectacular, although it made me miss Rotterdam like crazy! Now, this week (week 8 of the semester) is over... and it has arguably been the most unproductive week of my life. I blame this disgusting, 45 degree, windy rainy weather. It makes my bed the most comfortable place to be :)

This weekend will consist of 12 hours of work and a day trip to Ann Arbor to see Green River Ordinance and Boyce Avenue in concert with two of my lovely former roomies! And 14 days from right now? I'll be eating dinner in Nashville, TN and reminding myself to stay calm and keep breathing. I have an interview with Belmont University's School of Physical Therapy, the morning of Friday November 4th! Prayers = greatly appreciated.

I'll try to post again soon...
but oh, how time flies.
