I have a legitimate reason (besides procrastination/laziness/lack of words) for not posting in so long. My laptop has actually been out of commission for the better part of a month now due to a loose charger port, and there aren't many places that I can post where I don't feel like somebody is watching over my shoulder... So until my beloved Lancaster returns from his trip to the Gateway repair center in Texas, posting regularly is out of the question.
What have I been up to since my last post, you may ask?
Well... The past few weeks have been a mental roller coaster, to say the least. The high points include:
- a "snow day" that consisted of a thick dusting of snow, which is quite rare in a warm, humid place like Mississippi.
- learning that I will actually be able to double-minor in psychology and creative writing in my time at Belhaven after all.
- seeing Jars of Clay, a very well-known Christian band, live for the first time right here in Jackson.
- being able to read many more books while my laptop isn't working. *gasp*
- a Valentine's Day surprise to the girls of my group of friends, courtesy of all of the guys.
- learning how to swing dance... sort of.
- reevaluating some of my feelings and cementing bonds I didn't know I wanted to have with people.
- enjoying every day that God is giving me to live and learn about Him and all that he does for us.
And the low points?
- getting trapped in my own thoughts more often than usual and worrying about things that I should be putting trust in God for instead.
- trudging through 17 hours of classes a week and all of the homework that comes with the class time.
- catching a case of bronchitis and ending up in the emergency room for a few hours, resulting in some awkward moments for my friend Nathan and me.
- having absolutely no idea as to what to do about my creative writing portfolio anymore.
- 70-degree weather in the middle of February.
In a few words, the past few weeks have been crazy, eventful, interesting, and unforgettable. I'm not exactly sure where to start, in terms of elaborating all of this... So I'm just going to leave it at this and come back to tell stories of my adventures when I am able to post on my own computer. Sound good?
Until next time, all.
