Welcome Sunday evening. The weather was beautiful today. SO warm and sunny. I talked to a neighbor outside and played with her dog. I actually might call it an early night. I have to have my car at direct tire in the morning by 7:30…not a fun game. Gotta get the snow tires off and back in the apartment so we can have our corner end table again :). Amazing what cardboard and a sheet can do .
Church this morning was good, and afterwards I ordered 8 bucks worth of food from Taco Bell :). A girl has got to eat ya’ know. I’ve been cleaning and packing all day long. It’s actually been a fun day with a lot of fun events, but I don’t feel like writing about them. In the last 20 minutes I got very sad. I was fine earlier, fine and happy. I suppose its because its getting nighttime. Funny thing though, I realized tonight that amidst all my packing, I’d forgotten to pack socks. I’m glad I remembered!
Things I did for the last time for a while today:
1. cleaned my apartment
2. paid to wash my clothes
3. went to CTK
4. drove around semi-downtown Boston
5. ran errands in Danvers
6. vaccuumed in my undergarments (can’t do that at home- got the little bro)-
7. drank wine on a Sunday afternoon (can’t do that in ga- mama doesn’t agree with it)-
This week has been a week of last time doing things. Man, I should have updated earlier when I was seriously on top of the world. Oh, funny story. So Tony, one of my teammates from Tibet, told me today that his family is in love with me and wants Tony to ask me to marry him. Craziness. I’m pretty sure Tony definitely has a girlfriend, and his family doesn’t even really know anything about me other than what Tony has told them. Insane in the membrane. Not to mention, Tony is only 3 months older than my brother. That’s just wrong my friends. Not that I’ve been age-specific recently.
I’m gonna miss Beverly, South Hamilton, Danvers, REVERE, Cambridge, Boston, everywhere I live up here, this summer while I’m home. It’s bittersweet leaving, especially since the past week has been so fun. But, I am praying that this time at home will really heal me a lot from a number of things and provide me with a lot of new perspective. Wow- the past year, since June 2005, has been a strange one. I mean just one thing after another that I would not have expected. I can’t decide if I hope that keeps up or not. I mean, I do, but a lot of it has been so hard that I’m just ready for smooth sailing. But is smooth sailing all that good if it means boring sailing? I like the adventure- the events- the heart rushes- but not the heart breaks and goodness knows I can barely count on one hand the number of “breaks” that have occured in my past year of life. I did want passion though, something new and exciting and challenging, a year ago at this time, and by golly I’ve had that.
Well, I’m excited about my classes next semester. It’s gonna be a lot a lot a lot of work, but I have two Tennent courses, and I love Dr. Tennent. (He’s been gone all semester). I’m not excited about Dr. Lee, but I’m seriousy excited about taking greek again. I loved Greek in college; it was my favorite course. I can’t wait for that. Who knows what September will bring, but I’m not by any means just looking forward to it. I’m ready for a summer of new things too- things I can’t imagine or expect. Well, I can imagine Hong Kong, but I’m sure it will be full of surprises too. I’ll begin with my 16 hour road trip, and I hope much of it is consumed with prayer. I need to spend time listening to God. I hope Abraham doesn’t meow so much I can’t pray :). (if you want to see my mapped out iten, go to mapquest and type in directions from Beverly, MA to Augusta, GA- fastest time).
Well, Dannae’s renting a movie. I’m gonna drink some more of the wine Jill bought us from Chile and then go to bed rather early. 7:30 comes early, and tomorrow seems like it might be a busy (but good busy) day. A lot of things to do and people to see. Thanks for this semester GCTS…it was…. well… I can’t really think of words to capture the extremity of it.
Over and out
