Sometimes....

Lately I just don't know.... Well I do but.... you know those days.... where....

I have had some interesting situations to walk through. When isn't life interesting? I've had a good week! Sunday I went to Duluth and saw my Aunt and Uncle and my cousins. That was good, it was a much needed break. I hung out with a friend on Monday, that was fun it made my day better. Monday I was fighting the why me's and feeling crabby and than I got a call that just made my day. Sshh don't tell that person :) Than Tuesday I hung out with another friend... That was a little more interesting, but I think I gracefully glided through it. Wednsday I worked after school. Despite the fact that it was my birthday it was a very low-key day. Than today after class I did homework and I went to The Edge. That was fun.

My classes are still going really well. It turns out that I am going to be chef for the first buffet which is next month. I'm a little nervous about that... It will be an interesting experience. I finished my Finnish menu choices for my cost control final. Now I have to pick the recipes and cost them all out. It's going to be a lot of work. I have learned quite a bit so far. It's really interesting to think about another countries food and how food gets to be a considered to belong to a specific ethnic group. I've been having fun in my baking class. It's been a really great experience so far.

I've been feeling so out of sync when it comes to some things. I so badly want to hear the voice of God more and more clearly. It's so important in this day and age. I don't want theology I want a revelation. I want to be so filled with the light of God that the darkness tries to hide. People don't need to just understand God with their brains, they need to see how real God is and really know who He is.

I've been thinking that I once again need to turn my eyes to the goodness of God. I need to look at all that He's doing rather than look at things I want to change. Maybe if I change my focus I won't feel so much lacking. I'm so sick and tired of this cycle that seems so pointless and endless. I don't want to be moved by how I feel because my feelings shouldn't move me so much.
I want to be able to handle some situations better....

Life just keeps getting more interesting everyday.

Still no matter the circumstances... Peace Reigns, Love Wins and Joy is in the House!!!!

Interesting... Wow, is it Ever..No Nevermind

Ok so my blog title is pretty much just to catch your attention, because I have no idea where I'm going. I don't know if you've noticed but that's pretty much always the case. LOL

I am sure you would all like to hear more stories from my life here at college. So let's see... My psychology of adjustment class is interesting but there are somethings that get talked about that I go In it we have lots of diesel guys, this makes for an interesting class, as well. Last week we got to do a class activity. A statement was made and we had to move about the room to different sections representing whether we "Strongly Agreed" "Weakly Agreed" "Neutral" "Strongly Disagreed" or "Weakly Agreed". It was interesting to see where people stood on different social issues. I think most people where fairly conservative in there stance, to a degree. I think the class size is about 25 people.

Let's see what else. Oh, my roommate situation is going very well for those of you who are wondering after hearing my horror stories from last year. My roommate and I get along great.

So far my main instructor for the year is remarkably in a good mood, compared to last year. Which is great!!!! I have been having fun in the kitchen with all my classmates, it's almost like one big happy family! There are a couple people that I and everyone have to walk in a little extra grace with. This coming week is the first year's transition week into running the cafeteria kitchen. There is a grand total of 23 first years this year. For awhile no one knew what the final count would be. Every day it seemed they lost at least one and gained a couple more it was a little crazy at one point they had 27 students. My second year class is at 14 and two of them are transplants from previous first years. So starting on the 22nd of September, my class will all be moved over to the fine dining side and beginning to run the restaurant! I still can hardly believe that it's my second year of college!

As for activities outside of school, right now I go to the Edge on Thursday nights, which is fun. It's nice to actually know people this time around. :) Unfortunately I won't be able to attend Chi Alpha this year :( Despite the fact that they have it 2 days a week. I am a little bummed about that, but oh well. I do hang out with a couple of my classmates some evenings, which is an adventure all in itself. Of course one BIG consistent activity that I do is homework. It's not at lot of fun, but it contributes to a good grade so it is worth my time :) I am hopeing to be able to hang out with a couple of other people too. Oh and I might have a pampered chef party, that would be fun. There isn't a lot to do here in town, unfortunately.

Today I slept in! Yay!!! Then I lounged around for awhile, before running some errands. Don't tell her but I think I have my sister Sal's birthday present. Sshhh! I went to the mall (the term mall is an exageration) and checked out a couple things at JCPenney's. There is a hidden meaning in the previous sentence. I also had to go get gas and some groceries and gas at WallyWorld. I've been at work since 1 and I am getting a little tired of sitting here. It's not very exciting at all.

I'm not sure what else to blog about, tomorrow I'm going to church and then I need to clean my bathroom and do some minor cleaning in my bedroom. Oh and I should probably seriously spend some time on the next step of my Cost Control final. It's such a lot of work :P

Peace reigns, love wins and joy is in the house!
