Day 127: So. Close.

12 hours until we leave for PDW! (Paula Deen Weekend) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Today was filled with classes, typical of Thursdays. But I really enjoyed the topic in Aztec Civilization today! We learned a little about their poetry, philosophy, and games. The poetry was quite beautiful (in English). These are my two favorites - Enjoy!

Let us consider things as lent to us, oh, friends;
only in passing are we here on earth;
tomorrow or the day after,
as Your heart desires, oh, Giver of Life,
we shall go, my friends, to His home.

Truly do we live on earth?
Not forever on earth; only a little while here.
Although it be jade, it will be broken,
Although it be gold, it is crushed,
Although it be quetzal feather, it is torn asunder.
Not forever on earth; only a little while here.

Seriously, how beautiful are those? The Aztecs were one smart crowd, lemme tell ya! I love learning about them! My Forensic Anthropology class got let out early tonight, yay! And I took a 10 minute power nap in the break during my General Anthropology class. Surprisingly helped quite a bit. It's good having 4 classes that overlap with each other, but not when I learn the same things at least twice in one week and have to pay attention in both classes. Easy studying, I guess...

CRU was tonight, and was great. Had dinner at Panda Express as usual for Thursdays and received this fortune that I shared with Ana: "You will be fortunate in the opportunities presented to you." How cool? Haha, I don't know, just liked it.

My Big Sister, Jenny, has been accepted to go on a missions trip to Paris this summer with CRU! I am so proud of her and so excited to see what amazing things God has in store for her this summer! (Plus MY BEST FRIEND WILL BE IN PARIS. HOW AMAZING.)

Praise God for this amazing and beautiful day (even if it was a bit chilly!)

Tune in tomorrow for a broadcast from the gates of Savannah! (Not literally the gates because I don't think they really have any, but we'll see.)
