Another Month
It’s the first of November. Where has this year gone? I know…I only blog when I’m aware of time passing. Talked to Paul and Hope for a long time today. As Hope was chattering away on various topics, she had no idea she had me tearing up on the other end. I can’t believe she turns 13 in a few weeks and listening to her talk was striking me so strongly…even though she’s younger for her age than I was at 12, I think, she is still growing up so fast. Change.
It’s been a good week thus far. Weekend was a mixture of homework and other random stuff. Really enjoying dance at church… Like getting challenged. Had to decide between dancing here on xmas Sunday or trying to get home for xmas Sunday and I opted for the latter. I’ll perform with the team on Dec 4th but will be gone before the other dances, so I’m helping out as a stand-in so I can teach the missing dancers their parts. Always someone missing since there’s 15 members of the team. Trying to build some relationships there but somewhat difficult…partly a racial thing. I’m one of three white girls and it just takes more time to break into the relational world…
In other random Church news…I talked to Sandy, Ps. Ron Johnson’s wife, for a long-time last week. Much to my dismay she’s offering to “set me up” with their 24 yr old son. She said I could attempt the 22 yr old as well but he’s currently dating someone. Oh joy. Why do some ppl meet a single woman and immediately think of how they can rid them of their singleness? Bugs me that even nice people do it to me. This isn’t some plague I’m rushing to get rid of…. And how do I respond to the Ps’ wife? I just laughed at her and tried to be polite but… Anyways, supposed to have lunch with their family in a couple weeks… we’d planned it for this Sunday but Ps Ron had to fly to Australia to speak at David Cartledge’s funeral and Paul Wilbur is in town this Sunday.
School-wise, things are starting to pile up on me. For some reason ALL my classes keep delaying assignments so that they will all come due in the last two weeks of November…so I need to be disciplined and not procrastinate but that’s not happening. Need a little less socialization and a little more actual work.
Speaking of work, I am so overwhelmed with what Dr Walker has me doing in my GA work. It’s such an incredibly huge project that the further I get into it the more I am aware I will never make enough progress to be meaningful. Oh well, I can’t complain for lack of hrs like the other GAs…
Really missing home today and can’t wait ‘til thanksgiving…
