I can't believe Spring Break is already over. & I did absolutely no homework over break. What does that mean then? I begin my homework at 8 o'clock tonight. & I have to get up for an 8:30 class tomorrow morning. There's no easing back into school, is there? I went to Kristen and Jon's house for dinner tonight with Mom and Dad. The meal was delicious . & even though I didn't stay long, I really enjoyed myself. Seeing my pregnant sister (I'm so excited for this baby), having Landon make "monster" faces with me, laughing at jokes that Dad and Jon make - I was happy. Maybe it's this perfect weather we're having (btw, it was 80 degrees and sunny today; I got to wear sandals and a tank top), or maybe it's just relishing my last few hours of freedom before approximately 40 days of difficult class - but I definitely enjoyed myself. This week will be difficult for sure. But I've mentally prepared myself for that - not as much as I should, but at least partially. I'll need prayer; that's for sure. Not only for that, but also for my devotional life (or lack thereof). I was going strong for so long (hah, that rhymed), and they just decreased and the things I look at are sort of pointless. So prayer for that too will be helpful. Also, I need prayer for my job situation. I applied for a job at a daycare center back home. They're calling me for an interview (sometime, not sure when), and I really need this job. Other than the anxiety of that, I'm really looking forward to summer. I have enjoyed this semester, but the academic work has been so much more challenging, that I feel it's a downer on social time as well. But late night outtings and chats with my best friends really help things & leave amazing memories (as the pictures do as well).  I am just ready to start my sophmore year. I can't believe the freshman year is already over. If college is supposed to be the best time of your life (which it has proven to be so far), I don't want the rest of the years to go as quickly! All right. I had better finish this homework and get to bed! I hope everyone has a grrrreat Monday! If you need me, you know where to find me. 
oh & happy, happy birthday to a sweet Lori Ann.  EDIT 12:40AM:: I forgot say how much God has blessed me over Spring Break. I was allowed to sleep in, to spend some much-needed quality time with my friends back home, and my parents loved having me home. I sometimes don't give my parents their credit. They try really hard to be involved in my life. Why did I push them out before? I am very well-rested, and I think my state of mind and outlook on life's problems are much better. And for that, I am very thankful. | 
Love the memories!
