Watched Titanic 3D last night. Not gonna lie. When Jack yelled “I’M KING OF THE WORLD!”, I had an overwhelming urge to stand up, put my hands in the air, and do the same thing. I didn’t. But I could’ve. So stop hating on Titanic, and acknowledge the work of art that it is.

Just watched a rerun of Live with Kelly, which happened to have Jean Dujardin from The Artist as a guest. But HOLY MOLEY. That is one attractive man. He just made his way up with Hugh Jackman on my list. ;) Also, his name is probably the funnest name to say. Ever.

My Week...

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 01:19:35 -0400

I haven’t posted anything a suuuuper long time, but since I’m actually NOT BUSY for the first time in what seems to be forever, here we go!

This past week has possibly been the hardest week in school thus far. I had a major programming assignment, psych exam, pre-calc exam, and tutoring literally any time I had between classes. Several times this week I was just like…

Then…

Last Saturday, myself and my team that’s going to Uganda in the summer had our fundraiser. And by my team, I mean those of us who live in the Bay. And by those of us who live in the Bay, I mean the FOUR of us who actually made it a priority, while the other two decided not to help or show up, which is like…

Then, almost nobody showed up. Nobody from SOMA bothered to show. Nobody we expected to show showed. And I was like…

It did make me especially thankful for my SM family, though.

Anyways, back today. After my last test today, I walked out of the classroom, and my friend and I were were like:

Then we realized we had tutor training still, and we were like:

But then when we were done with that? SPRING BREAAKKK!

Not that I’m doing anything interesting…

But who cares! I’m gonna forget about anything I have to do, and just RELAX. :)

‘Let me be your star’

Smash…hm. I’m intrigued. Gonna give it a chance or two to impress me. Only because the singing has been really good so far and Katherine McPhee is stinking gorgeous.

Sorry. I know it’s gross…but sharing things with the world wide web always makes me feel better. Well…at least that’s what people tell me.

Resolved.

So many goals. So many things I want and need to do. But there are mainly three on my mind.

One, I really want to get to know my 8th grade girls. I mean really know them.

Two, I’m gonna get in shape. Went to the gym 3 times this week, and I already feel a difference. I’m gonna be ready for those muddy treks up and down hills in Piswa.

Three, Piswa!!! I am ridiculously excited to go to Uganda. We finally started planning our fundraising stuff, and it’s gonna be close…but we’re gonna make it. Almost done with my letters. Just gotta make the list of people I’m gonna send em to.

I’m not gonna just float around this year. Nu-uh. I’m living it up this year. Not extravagantly, per se, but full fur sure. This is gonna my year for Him.

OH YEAH. And go here -> Please and thank you! :D

2011

Everyone seems to be posting things about their year, and usually, I resist the urge to talk about my life to my imaginary online audience that could care less, but with boredom comes compliance. So here goes my long-winded, non-sequential, end-of-the-year, beginning-of-the-year rant.

2011 had…a lot of ups and downs. I think 2011 was about finding balance in my life. There were times where I completely immersed myself into one thing, and ignored the other parts of my life. Up and down. I found myself feeling alone and defeated (Oh no! Emoemoemoemo. I know. But bear with me.) at times this year, and at one point, I realized I needed to find my delight in Him again. So I did. Then, I forgot. Up and down and up and down. I was on top of the world a few times, and was convinced I could do anything. Then, when I tried to do just that (anything) on my own, I would fail. Nothing humongous, but certainly enough to knock me off my self-made pedestal. There were times where my ego was so big, I know I hurt people around me, while thinking I was helping them. I learned that it was okay to say “no”, but then I realized that I had forgotten that was life was about sacrifice and selflessness. With that, I poured myself into service. Then I burned out. Up and down. Up and down. And since I was burned out, I became stingy and selfish when it came to my family. Then, my grandma died. I came to a sudden realization that family is precious. Down and up. My dad lost his job. Down. It’s one of those things where it happens to everyone else until it happens to your family. Down. I set a goal for myself and have finally committed to pursuing a career in computer science. Up. My best friend and I are closer than ever, and I am so blessed to have a friend who will tell it to me like it is and push me to my best. Up. I committed to pushing myself further than ever and decided to go to Uganda and Germany. Germany fell through, which I think was God’s way of reminding me that I need to be doing everything that I do for Him. And only Him. Up and down. I also got my first official job, earned my driver’s license, and began leading worship with just me and my guitar. I got my first Christmas tree, realized that I’m going to be in Student Ministries for a very long time, changed a lot of diapers, and maintained a 4.0 gpa. Up.

Whenever people are asked “Any regrets?”, they always say “No. No regrets.” I say, really? I know, I know. The mistakes you made have brought you to where you are today, which is exactly where you need to be. Blahblahblah. But you know what? I have regrets. There are things I did and said, which I wish I didn’t. There are things I didn’t do and didn’t say, which I wish I did! So yes. I do have regrets. But that doesn’t mean I’m some depressed, sad, little person who will never move on with her life. I’m taking those regrets and using them as reminders to never make the same mistakes again. There were a lot more ups and downs than I care to write about, but I had a good year. There were moments of joy, devastation, happiness, vanity, stress beyond belief, ecstasy (Calm down. The emotion, not the drug.), loneliness, and pure contentment. I’m sure 2012 is going to have a lot of the same feelings, but I’m going make dang sure that I have them while living life to the fullest and give all the glory to Him.

That marks the end of my sarcastic, and yet oddly sincere venting.

I can’t believe you read all that.

You obviously have no life.

Awkward…
