back @ bv w/ less than 3 weeks to go

bekah, brandon, and i crammed everything we owned into my little car today and headed back up to bv, bright and early. hated missing church, but it was still nice to get here early and take a nap, plus get things done. it was a good trip. lots of listening to music- w/ my musical ADD, though, i went from one song to the next. lots of singing along. good times. was thankful to have their company. the trip truly is better w/ company.

so... that paper i pulled an all-nighter for? i thought it sucked. but apparently it didnt. 97%, baby... yeah! ok so i'm not bragging- i'm honestly just surprised. i didnt think i did well on it at all- there was so much i could have said, but didnt- it truly was a personal paper, it's just that it ws so difficult to grasp such personal things and put them into words. but... no more worries. i did well, and thank goodness, my grade is a little above that "iffy" spot and it looks like an a will be possible.......

i was pleased to receive an email from dottie when i got back to school. what a blessing that was. i pray that the emails continue.

i can't believe christmas is in less than a month. it will be here before we know it! i know what i want for christmas... but it's nothing santa could throw down the chimney for me, and it's nothing that money could really buy (at least i'd hope not). i doubt i will get it, but... it's the holiday season... i should at least have faith, right? ahh... christmas time. let it snow! let people be full of joy and gratitude! and love for jesus christ! and let everyone in the whole wide world listen to kenny g's christmas music and watch as everything is made all better! :) (yeah... realistic, i know.)

should better get back on homework. am almost done for the night. jody will hopefully be coming over, so i look forward to that. have yet to hear from a certain someone but i doubt tonight will be the night. i am giving that to God yet again, praying for forgiveness for my selfishness and for the gift of just understanding, even when things don't go my way, or as planned. i never wanted this to be all about me. and so it goes.

here's to a restful night for all...
