Ah yes…the weekend is here! I have a ton of homework to get done, and if I get it done I can relax more during the next week!

As far as plans go…i am going grocery shopping…that’s exciting, LOL…

Tomorrow I have my worship team audition/interview…allergies are doing better, so my voice should be at its best!!

I am having dinner with Aaron, from ASP, tomorrow night…that will be SO awesome! Another “Apartment One” friend, and my processing partner from ASP…i can’t wait to catch up with him and to hear about what God has been doing in his life lately!

You should check out Cameron’s blog, as he has some awesome poetry up there right now…and there are some new additions to the blog, such as a counter, a way to comment, and links to other blogs of worth. i can’t imagine who did all that 🙂 LOL. Glad to help out a friend!

Michael has a VERY exciting event on Monday–so watch his blog to find out what that is! I won’t spill the beans…but I am SOOO excited! Say a prayer for him!

Have a great evening!

Okay…so I am really excited! I have wanted to be on a chapel worship team since my first preview day experience at APU…which was over 4 years ago…and my dream might be coming true!!

Saturday, I have one of 30 interview/audition slots for being a vocalist next year…that means that there are 29 others…but there will probably be 5-8 spots open, I think…and I have had this on my heart for a long time…so pray for me!! 10:40am, Saturday I will be interviewing/auditioning for a spot on a chapel worship team…I am so excited!! WOO HOO!! 🙂

Just wanted to say that I finished my Civil War paper before midnight!! YAY! All I have to do is print it. I actually feel that it is a fairly decent paper after reading over it…but, this prof is infamous for NEVER giving As…it is SO hard to get over a B in his classes, which is good. He doesn’t buy into grade inflation…

Anyway, I am done! 🙂 With this, anyway…

Five more papers (1 is a take-home final)

1 more book to read…

12 days of class left!! YAY! Then I can delve into the ever-growing reading list I am creating for the summer…things that I WANT to read, and am not FORCED to read…it’s amazing what a difference that makes in my mind! 🙂 I get to read Plato, Aristotle and Xenophon (to prepare for Classical Political Thought in the Fall with Dr. Flannery)…I get to read Newbigin, MacLaren, and others…I get to begin my investigation into Christian Post-Modern Thought, to prepare for my Independent Study in Fall…Sigh…it will be wonderful! 🙂

Well, something great came up today in regards to what I will do this summer–though I will still be in LA…my good friend Paige, over lunch, asked if I would like to live with her, off-campus, for the summer! How fun would that be?! I am praying about it, because it would be so awesome…I’d really feel like I was “on my own”, and i wouldn’t feel so “trapped” by being at APU for so long. I think it would be great! She is getting married at the end of July, and Leslie and I hope to go to their wedding in Colorado…ROAD TRIP!! 🙂

I have begun to consider switching cell phone providers…from AT&T to something else, probably Verizon. I have to break contract if I switch, which will be about $200, but I will save money in the long run. I am considering Verizon for a few reasons: One, there is better reception in the area (and in D.C. it works on the Metro…I have to be prepared for the future! LOL)…Two, I could get free in-network calling, which would be great because my parents (and Michael) have Verizon…that would ensure that I did not go over my minutes (which I do nearly every month)…and it would be a little cheaper for the same plan that I have now on Verizon…so in the long run, it would save me money……but more importantly, it would allow Michael and I to talk anytime without worrying about using up minutes 🙂 Honestly, that is a huge incentive…

Thoughts about Verizon? I’d welcome any comments about Verizon…especially from people who currently use it. I will make the switch this summer, some time…possibly.

Anyway, worship team tonight…looking forward to that, because I haven’t worshipped with these people for a couple of weeks now. Good times!

Must finish this Civil War paper tonight…it is not going too well, because it is so complicated! I am writing about how the Battle of Chickamauga Creek decreased the overall morale of the Union troops to such a great degree that by the time the Battle of Missionary Ridge came about, they wanted revenge, which in turn gave them the courage to capture the mountain unexpectedly. Yeah…I am on page 5, and I haven’t even come to the capture of the mountain yet! Oh well…I have a few hours tonight to finish!

Have a good evening!
