Happy St. Patrick's Day!
This is my St. Patrick's Day headband! Bright green with shamrocks on white ribbon.
I feel so much more like myself today. I can't tell you what it was, just today felt normal (besides being overwhelmingly exhausted and still having so much to do). Here we go.
Started the day with Aztec Civ. class. We learned about some of the kings and their names. Among them are "water face" and "excrement". Our teacher has nicknamed the last one "King Poop". So you can see how much I enjoyed that class today! Plus I found out/realized that "Isabel" is the Spanish version of Elizabeth. I have no idea why I didn't realize that before, but it was really mind boggling to me.
Proceed to the scene of my next two classes which were relatively boring. Following classes, I reported to Danielle's for a healthier-than-the-last-two-weeks meal of omelets and honey cinnamon sweet potatoes. Then a little studying before CRU.
CRU tonight. Wow. It's always exactly what I need. The music, as you know, was incredible. The last song we sang was With Everything (listen to it, it's amazing!). They haven't played this song in several months. Hannah and I listened to it several times this morning and commented on how they haven't played it. And wouldn't you know, tonight they did! Such a powerful amazing song.
At CRU I got to see Jenny for the first time in 15 days. It was such an amazing feeling. We're used to seeing each other almost every day, so this break has been very difficult. She drove me back after CRU and we ended up talking for 45 minutes in the car... Even though we got that time to catch up, we determined we can never have enough time to catch up. So yeah. Luckily we'll get to see each other quite a bit this weekend because we have a project to do together (more details when it is done).
Something else you need to know about today: The campus has never looked prettier. While I was gone, everything surged green. Maybe it was for St. Patrick's Day, but I really noticed the beauty of our campus today. Thank you, God for making such a beautiful campus and for creating Springtime to showcase that beauty.
Bonus: Got a letter and some cough medicine from my momma! The envelope had a Toy Story Rex (the dinosaur) sticker on it. The woman that got my package commented on it and I replied with how much I love dinosaurs. She said "My son loved them too, but he grew out of that." and looked at me like I was insane for loving them still at 19. I didn't even start to love them until high school time, so I don't get it. Luckily, I have been reassured by many of my friends that it is completely normal for me to love dinosaurs and she is in fact the odd-woman-out for thinking that it is juvenile. HA. I rawr in your general direction.
Anyways... it's midnight and I need some sleep so I can wake up early and study for my Bio2 test tomorrow at 11:45. Please pray for wisdom about plants! Also, of course Japan needs prayers. Also, a freshman at the school died of alcohol poisoning over spring break. It just breaks my heart that she didn't have a strong support system to help her out and prevent this from happening. I would just request prayers to have this incident help others in their situations. And finally, prayer for many of my friends who are just having crummy weeks dealing with many different kinds of stress.
Thank you for reading my blog today! I have really enjoyed being able to share with you again and actually finding things to write about. Boy did I miss this! <3
So let hope rise, And darkness tremble In Your holy light, And every eye will see Jesus, our God, Great and mighty to be praised.
God of all days, Glorious in all of Your ways. Your majesty, the wonder and grace, In the light of Your name.
