  • So I'm sitting here at work, on Facebook (naturally) waiting for this reporter to finish working on his story so I can edit it. This person is taking forever! Anyway, Cody messages me and tells me I am on Facebook waaay too much... Now, Cody isn't on all that often, so for him to notice how often I AM online and tell me that is sort of a slap in the face in terms of realizing how I spend my time. And so I have decided to try to cut down on the amount of time I spend online, especially Facebooking. Wish me luck?

    This week seems like it is taking forever! It's only Tuesday and I'm already salivating at the thought of Friday after classes. This weekend doesn't offer any hope of relaxation, of course, because of my group paper for history, but at least I don't have to get myself to class for two days. I just have to spend this week drowning in the history of the United Church of Christ, write the paper, and move on to english and journalism papers.

     Speaking of history, we got our tests back today and I got an 86%... not awesome, but it helped my grade out quite a bit. I'm still worried that the web quizzes are going to drag me down, and I'm unclear as to how the GPA requirements for my scholarship work... are they decided yearly or by semester? Hopefully it's yearly because I don't know if I can pull it off this semester, thankyou History of Christianity... So much for my goal of getting on the dean's list this semester, I'll be lucky if I can hold onto a 3.5, much less score a 3.7.

    I am abnormally excited for Thanksgiving!! I think this is because of a couple of reasons... 1) I'm desperate for a break from school, since I have been going non-stop. The retreats I've been on have been incredible, but I think next year I'm going to pick one or the other if they are on consecutive weekends again. I just cannot handle missing out on my break like that, I'm beat! 2)Post Thanksgiving = the Christmas Season aka the BEST time of the year!! I have been listening to Michael Buble and Josh Groban a LOT lately, and I'm dying to play their Christmas albums! Also, I've been contemplating what to do for my roommates and Libby and Alyssa and Nicki and Luke and the family and so on for gifts (since I'm flat BROKE), but even that train of thought feels wrong before turkey day. So the official beginning of the Christmas Season will make way for planning and singing and decorating!

    People have been talking more and more lately about exec positions next semester and elections in December... I'm so confused and nervous and discouraged in that regard, I have no idea what I am going to do. I don't even know what I really want to do. It's all a time commitment, but recruitment is a HUGE time commitment. I want to be the face of the chapter, especially if the chapter wants me in that position, but I don't know if I can handle that. I'm not a great people person, that's for sure. Plus, when things go wrong, the chair naturally gets blamed, and I enjoy being liked, not talked about when I'm not around. So far I think I've managed to stay out of the rumor mill, but running headlong into the recruitment position is going to stick my right in the middle of it. Running for external VP, on the other hand seems a) like a cop-out and b) not as attractive on a resume. I keep asking God where I'm supposed to be, but I feel like all I'm getting back is static...
