First, let me say I ADORE mix CDs from friends! I'm currently listening to the one Eagle made me, which is almost finished, so I will move on to the one from Dan.
I just finished up my honors project proposal and emailed it to my adviser. It's really a relief for just to have finished it, but I'm not sure if he'll go for it. It's kind of a crazy idea, but I'm all for it and all the work it takes to finish it. Anyone who has talked to me for at least 30 seconds knows that I am absolutely passionate about summer camp, teaching, and really just about the well being of children in general. So for my project, I want to combine summer camp and teaching, and go off of the idea that if a book worms program could happen, and Harry Potter and Little House on the Prairie programs could be CRAZY popular, why can't there be a summer camp program that's a little more academically based, but just as fun? I'm going to research reading and writing workshops, common problems girls face in schools, camp and school standards, etc and use all that to come up with a program (with lessons for each activity) based on the book Speak. So cross your fingers my adviser goes for this!
Now that the holiday is over, I am socially acceptably in the Christmas spirit! I will be buying my Christmas cards this week, and mailing presents soon after that! I just can't wait. I am more into Christmas this year than ever before, and I think that has a lot to do with my lack of church lately. I know that sounds crazy, but I honestly haven't been able to make it to church in a while for a variety of reasons, mostly lack of rides and abundance of work. Because I can't make it to church each week, I have to take it upon myself to find God in other places. I'm closer to God now than I was when I could go every week. Maybe the holiday shopping season is a blessing in disguise for me. I thank Him for every little thing in my life. All of my friends, my family, my health, my education, and absolutely everything I have. Everyone always says that Christmas is too commercialized and stuff, and to some extent I agree. But the way I look at it, I love how much Christmas is blown out of proportion. The next sentence is going to be a ridiculous thing only I would say. How SWEET is it that you can buy princess, Muppets, Mickey Mouse, Looney Toones, etc. decorations; how AWESOME is it that even Cinderella, Donald Duck, and Big Bird celebrate Jesus's birthday????? The answer is that it's AMAZING. I'm not trying to be all in your face religious-y lately. I totally respect the differing religious views of my friends. I just love Christmas! Let me know if I should calm it down.
Punctuation question: How do you punctuation singular possessive words ending with an S? Jesus' or Jesus's? hmmmm. I'm an English major and I never know what to do in that situation.
Currently, I am in the union, and there are a group of students in some sort of prayer ritual. I don't understand it, and I'm not even entirely sure of what religion it is. However, I love the fact that no one is staring at them in the least bit. They are just doing their thing, and everyone else is going on with their homework or lunch and stuff. There's even an event going on in the ballroom (across from where I am sitting) and no one is even blinking an eye. Yay diversity! I want to call every Ed professor I have ever had right now and scream "this is what diversity really is!" Nothing like their stupid lesson plans.
hmm what else. Well, yesterday I went outlet mall shopping with my brother and mom. It was fun! I found a dress to wear on New Years. Not quite like the American Eagle one I originally wanted, but just as cute and like, 35 dollars cheaper (YAY OUTLET MALLS-- the dress was 5 dollars!) I also got gifts for my grandma, Andrew, and Eagle. I've ordered Bart's and Blondie's, and I bought Star's and her kids gifts months ago (I'm a little eager about Christmas, I know). My mom's gift just needs to be assembled and she's done too. I love gifts!
If ANYONE is up for a buffet this weekend, call me. After last night, I have a serious Golden Corral craving. lol.
Tomorrow theres a bake sale in the polsky building for the writing lab. I'll be baking cookies tonight...should be interesting.
Well, that's it for now. I better start on my Black Literature paper! I'm copying and pasting the lyrics to my favorite song on the mix CD from Eags for you all to read and enjoy. Love it!!!
Hungry, I come to You
For I know You satisfy
I am empty but I know
Your love does not run dry
So I wait for You
So I wait for You
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus, You're all this heart
Is living for
Broken, I run to You
For Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know
Your touch restores my life
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus, you're all this heart is living for.
