from a cubby..

Well -- I am hiding in a cubby right now at the library... you know the ones with the weird wavy glass walls and doors and its like your own little private study (torture) chamber. That's where I am writing from tonight...

You may wonder why I feel the need to hide from the world, and really I guess it's kind of like how Jesus would withdrawal from the crowds except he went to be with God and I am going to be with myself and with my homework. Life has just been REAL crazy lately and as a natural extrovert and learned introvert (got this from Bobby, except he's the opposite) I sometimes have to hide from people or else I won't ever take the time that I know I need for myself. So, that's why I am hiding here -- and because I have 2 tests, a lab report, a methods paper, and a book to read in the next 2 days.

Life has been way too eventful for me lately -- here are the highlights and some of the just lights of the past few days.

So, yesterday realized that I didn't know what I was going to make for HG at about 5:00 so I just started mixing some stuff together in the kitchen and was going to make cookies when I ran out of flour... whoops... so just started adding oats and other absorbant things and turned it into a weird pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal cake -- it looked like... well, I'll refrain from expressions and just let you imagine. It was not the tastiest thing I've ever made -- sorry bout that one HG.
Then coming back from HG my car broke... it would start and everything was fine except it was stuck in park and wouldn't shift -- some air lock shifter blah blahty blah thing. Now, Ol Silver Bullet has been good to me and I plan to sell her this summer, but she has hit the 101,000 mile mark. Anyway called a tow truck waited like 2 hours, it came, they wouldn't tow it because it was already midnight, so made an appt for them to tow it in the morning. Then some guys (Jeff & Micah) decide to go mess with it some more and it magically shifts again and is like nothing ever happened --- cool. So, take it in today just to make sure nothing is terribly wrong and I can drive to H-town thursday. They're like 'we hooked up your car 15 times and there is nothing wrong with it!' And they didn't charge me, which was cool! So, my car got healed! sweet!
Didn't have a car so I ran back from class today, my apt is like a mileish from campus so my roommate dropped me off and I just didn't take anything to class except my ipod and after it was over I just ran on back to the apt. That was kind of funny.
Worked at Carenet today -- it was really hard. In meeting with these girls lately who have had TERRIBLE home lives and experienced so much abuse and violence in their lives I have been able to feel darkness like I haven't in a while. Its like this tangible, heaviness that just makes me shudder and feel real uneasy. It has been really cool though in a few of these situations specifically where I start praying or just telling them things that the Bible says are true and I can feel the power and virtue in the truth. Kind of like when that lady touched Jesus'garment and he knew power went out from Him. Light always wins!
I guess that's about it, oh yeah seriously dating this one guy -- 5 dates in 3 days kind of thing. ya know...
j/k, just trying to top Anna Beth -- she's hard to keep up with. =o) jk

Well -- back to the test review... and for the record -- cubbies are laaaaame.
